I previously owned a Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri Band. It was perfect for my requirements 4-5 years ago, but now with the increase of devices I needed, it started to put a strain on it. so I retired it and upgraded to the AXE11000 which is faster and also handles the newer WiFi 6 which most providers are switching to. As with the AC3200, the AXE11000 was simple to install and setup all of the previous MAC addresses of my devices plus a few more. I believe the AXE11000 can handle up to 60 devices which is more that I need. It is also much faster that on the data rates than my previous router which is need for my grandson's and granddaughter's gaming addition LOL. Overall, I give this a 5 star. Regards, one happy granddad.

Excellent! Worth every penny. Used it to replace a Hargray router and the speeds that we were getting with that one were atrocious nowhere near the gig we pay for only about 10% of that. With this baby we’re almost maxed out and it has amazing range covers a 2500 foot house plus at our neighbors. And we have over 20 devices connected in our smart home. Pay a little up front but no more rental fees for the router and get the internet you pay for!

It's expensive. I wish it was less expensive. However, I get 900 Mbps - 1 Gbps wirelessly. I have no more network congestion - even when family is remotely streaming Plex from my media pc and my kid is simultaneously listening to a 4k Youtube video instead of watching it (WHY), while she's playing a game, and my wife is watching Netflix. The latency to my own game servers is usually less than 20ms, and I haven't used an ethernet cable in 6 years. For what it's worth, the last Nighhawk (R8000) still works, and I didn't upgrade it for any reason except I wanted faster wireless throughput, and I have about a million more smart home devices connected now than when I bought it 6 years ago. Some people complain about Netgear build quality or software issues, but I haven't experienced that. This one has been on for a couple of months now and I haven't had to reset it or touch it after initial set up - which took about 15 minutes total. The most time-consuming part was removing the old router from the Nighthawk app, and then there not being a QR code on my unit despite the app insisting there was - I had to find it manually. Worth the buy if you're interested in the throughput speeds and connectivity it offers. Expensive and overkill if you're not going to utilize it and don't have fast enough internet to hit those speeds.

Finally decided to upgrade my router. After doing a bit of research and talking to a few different people with networking experience, I went for the NETGEAR Nighthawk AXE11000. It was a breeze to setup and is incredibly fast, I also love the look of it too. I believe it will be several years before I need to upgrade again. Thanks NETGEAR!

Unbelievable. Flawless internet in every room of the house including the garage (2 story house with basement/garage). It less than 5 minutes to set up and no one complains anymore about slow internet. Haven't had to reset it once now. Netgear customer for life.
