NETGEAR - Nighthawk AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 Router

Keeping this one really short. Great router. Plug it in, factory reset it, configure it, grab the firmware update, don't use the app. Then go into 192.168.1.1/debug.htm and turn on the dang fan so it doesn't overheat. The fan is supposed to turn on only under heavy load but I had to sleuth it because it was getting hot. The Netgear Forum is really driven by the success of the users, not the mods (unfortunately) and I hope this gets a LOT better once the whole covid hysteria calms down and support people can be support people again. I get the speeds I pay for with this router. I got the speeds I paid for with the RAX 8 but it died less than 24hrs later and I returned it. I did not get the speeds I paid for with the ax50 which is the router I started with because of firmware issues. So 3 routers later climbing up the product line for a 1200sq ft apt I land here and after paying a ridiculous sum of money for connectivity for work and home use (even though the ax50 SHOULD do the job), here I am with an office router in which the fan enablement was behind a debug query. So...this router is amazing today. Don;t know about tomorrow and do not know about later this week. Seems this is where we're going, in that inconsistency is the future. This router therefor is way too much for what I need but it was the only thing in the available product line that worked like it should (except for whole why did they not put the fan toggle in the main menu thing) Looks cool though.

i Recently purchased this to improve my WiFi at my place of business. Running the video game party center in Randolph NJ- it helps power my internet connection of 30+ TVs and gaming consoles for birthday parties and summer camps. So far it has been an excellent addition to the Game Center. I would recommend this product.

This is my 2nd Nighthawk router only because I spilled Dr Pepper on the other so choose to upgrade a bit glad I did another excellent product much better than previous models love the app let’s you see everything running on the network definitely a must if you are running gig speed internet and have 20 devices running like I do

I have been using a Linksys WRT 3200ACM for years and it has been the best router I have ever bought, until I got the Netgear AX12. I went through 2 Linksys Hydra pro routers only to be disappointed each time with a loss in performance compared to my WRT 3200ACM. The Netgear AX12 looks cool, and has performance to back up the look. Both wifi bands are the fastest i've seen. I disable the 2.4ghz radio because I only have 2 wireless devices. The 5ghz range is full bar across my house where my tv is. My WRT3200ACM would be down a bar when not connected. The AX12 is great out of the box though I always change some settings to my liking. The quad core 2.2ghz processor handles my 1450mbps internet speed much better than the dual core 1.8ghz of my WRT3200ACM. I did not set up using the app because I don't care for all that remote stuff. This router is a keeper!

This router is incredibly easy to setup with a configuration console that's as shallow or deep as you want. I'm a veteran of Internet connectivity going back to 5600 baud modem days and have configured more devices than I can remember. NetGear continues to be a trustworthy brand that delivers on user friendliness. Pros: ease of use, WiFi is really fast, Gigabit LAN connection is just killing it (gamers pay attention), integrates seamlessly with the newer NetGear gigabit switches (see in picture), deep intuitive console, trusted brand, has a cooling fan for those pulling extreme packets while streaming or gaming (fan noise may be a con for some) Cons: it's big (but cool looking), might make some fan noise, may not have enough WiFi coverage for larger houses Note: This was designed as a single solution for smaller apartments and houses only, and is actually part of a mesh solution for larger homes. Although it can reach the entire structure, my multi-story 3,600 home needs the companion WiFi range extender for full WiFi saturation. However, the upgrade to the wired LAN speed is worth the price of admission alone - just screaming now! Final point: don't pay too much attention to the negative reviews but do give it a few days to run its firmware updates (you can speed this up through the console). After that it should run fine and auto-update your initial firmware and I expect it to be smooth sailing from here on in. Best case ever for a router is you forget its there and your Internet connect just remains stable and transparent. Oh, and for those Star Wars fans out there, it totally looks like Kylo Ren's shuttle!

This is the best by far router we have ever owned. It was a great purchase for our upgrade to 1GB internet service. I am not a tech expert, just a tech consumer who is completely satisfied with the setup and performance of this product. It manages ALL our devices with ease and reliability. I especially love the offered internet protection services and the app with it's seamless manageability. I do recommend this product for serious internet speeds and connectivity. I also love that it looks like an ALIEN ship at least to us. COOL FACTOR = 11

NETGEAR AX12 AX600. If you looking for a new Router and you a Netgear fan. look no further this Router supports up to 6Gbps Internet speed. it has the lastest technology WiFi 6 and Supports the Lastest Security Standard WPA3. yes you heard that correctly it has WPA3 A Security is Preinstalled on a 30 day Trail Period. its big but man it performs and look amaizing. it looks like a Stealth Bomber. (thats why i got it) my download speed have been amazing and i have experinced minimum to non in speed drops i aint gonna lie its expensive device. but its worth the investment.

I took one star off for the vertical mounting design failure. It looks like their original model didn't even include holes to mount it to a wall, but mine does so that's appreciated. However, unless I'm overlooking something there doesn't seem to be any way to get the "wings" (antenna surfaces) to stay in place once flipped up. So when you put the router against the wall, they kind of fall forward a bit which doesn't look right nor ideal. So I taped them on place, which is kind of a hokey work around. That all aside, functionally this thing is great. I had to upgrade my router and my cable modem to support my new 400mbps service. My old Nighthawk R7000 should've been able to support it, but a known firmware issue from a few years ago cut its max speed basically in half and netgear never fixed it. I was also starting to have disconnection issues with it, which I suspect was related to the number of IoT etc wireless devices I have. But now, with this wifi 6 support I'm future proof again for a whole and I've noticed the speed difference as well as connectivity stability. The price is high, but other than that one little mounting design flaw I think you pretty much get what you pay for and I'm happy with the purchase.
