My son talked me into this router, paired with a 1.4GB modem, back story is the Auris gateways are real bad and within a month you see poor WiFi. Now to the positive of running this nighthawk router with the modem is by far the best decision I made. The set up took me 30min. The genie Software is extremely nice and gives dad administrative control over every device in the house, my sons were disappointed, said to much power for 1 person . One thing that may put some buyers off is the price, this isn’t the cheapest route to go, I was told by the Best Buy associate, you won’t find a dead spot once this is installed properly. Speedtest: DL300 UL25 I did hit 340 twice and 31 also / I’m paying for 300 / 20 .. hope this helps / I also purchased the geek squad program for help , I didn’t call anyone but Best Buy, they made this purchase painless

Purchased this alongside the Arris SB8200 to replace our outdated cable modem/router Netgear N600. The RAX80 has an easy setup and handles our 1Gb/s download speed from Xfinity well. We have this setup in a medium/large house and I get signal everywhere including outside. I bought this on sale for $299, not sure it is worth $399 normal price unless you need greater than 2Gb/s speeds.

This is a nice well design machine, Great router easy set up, long range on the 2g of course 5G is shorter on range but faster, make sure to download your Nighthawk App and you enjoy the experience on a very easy and smart way. kudos to Netgear for this product , is way better that my old not so old Linksys AC4000.

I was a little hesitant to purchase this router after reading some of the reviews and visiting the Netgear forums and seeing some of the complaints. But, I decided to go ahead and get the router ( I added the 4 year insurance in case something goes bad ) and I have been nothing but happy with it’s performance. My Appletv, IPhone 11, Ipadpro and all my electronic that rely on internet are much snappier, not to mention that my download and upload speed have increase. I’m aware that lots of users are having problems with this router, but also remember, that lots of people are also not having problems with the router and you will see very few people of the latter come and give a positive, while you will see almost all the people who have had bad experience come in an give a bad review. I’ll keep updating my review to give anyone trying to huy

This really pairs well with the Nighthawk Modem. It took about 45 minutes to set everything up. It's super sleek looking and you can manage every device attached from your phone. Range and signal strength is unparalleled. Definitely worth upgrading from a stock Comcast Modem/Router combo. I haven't had any problems with connectivity and works great for our three person household.
