    Works good, but it sometimes goes out

    As some other reviewers complain, the connectivity will go out from time to time. The fix is a simple reboot, but it’s a bit of a hassle to do it altogether. Why, Netgear?

    The NETGEAR RAX10 is an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable and affordable Wi-Fi 6 router. Its easy setup, powerful performance, and advanced security features make it an attractive option for all types of homes. While it may lack some advanced features found on higher-end models, it offers excellent value for money.

    Upgraded Router

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I recently found my fiber optic internet to be down and after doing some troubleshooting, I thought my router was to blame so I upgraded to the NETGEAR AX4 4 STREAM AX1800 WiFi 6 Router. It ended up not being a router issue, but I decided to keep the new router since I had so many connection and streaming issues previously. I’ve been using the NETGEAR AX4 4 STREAM AX1800 WiFi 6 Router for about a week now and I haven’t had any trouble whatsoever! My Roku devices stream without interruption, my browsing is faster, and my work VPN connection is not being disconnected at random times. I would recommend NETGEAR AX4 4 STREAM AX1800 WiFi 6 Router to anyone looking for improved connectivity and less interruptions. It was very easy to set up, especially after downloading the app! I am not tech savvy whatsoever and found the instructions so simple, even after going through some other internet issues prior to the set-up. NETGEAR AX4 4 STREAM AX1800 WiFi 6 Router exceeded my expectations

    Great WiFi 6 Router

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This WiFi router is great. WiFi 6 capability allows my devices (that support the protocol) to browse and download with peak performance. Devices that are not WiFi 6 compatible are also incredibly fast. The multiple antennas on the back allow for very large connectivity range and little to no speed drop-off through walls and other obstacles. Setup is also a breeze with the mobile app and only takes approximately ten minutes. I highly recommend this router as it delivers great performance at a very reasonable price.
