I bought this NETGEAR Nighthawk AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 Router (RAX50) in conjunction with the NETGEAR Nighthawk 2.5Gbps Internet Speed Cable Modem with Voice (CM2050V). The CM2050V does not have an internal Wi-Fi router, which is what I desired. In the future, I did not want to be forced to upgrade both modem and Wi-Fi/router functions when one or other became outdated or defective.
In the process of installing the modem and router, I installed a NETGEAR 24 Port Gigabit Switch (JGS524v2). I retraced and tested all my Cat6E wired ports throughout the house. I plugged in my patch cables, and I was off and running. Except for a few older pieces of hardware running at 10/100, 96% of the LAN was running at 1 Gig speed. First thing, I logged into the modem and router, seamlessly, and with ease, changed the login passwords, and tweaked a few settings. Most of the factory settings were spot on for Xfinity ISP service.
For my outside, wrap-around porch area, I added a NETGEAR Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Dual Band Multi-Gig Access Point (WAX620). The access point integrated flawlessly as well. I now have incredible LAN speeds both inside and outside.
I am recently retired and not an IT professional. If you can read and follow the directions, you can install these products without a problem.

This was a great purchase for the price. I have a 2500 sq ft 2 story home with 5 kids living at home. My wife works from home also, so we have 20+ device connected to the router at any given time with this router all the devices run great with great download and streaming speeds. Love this new router.

We had a Netgear 15 and a booster and were constantly not getting internet in certain rooms. Or if someone else tried to get on in the same room they couldn’t get the signal.
With this Netgear 18 we get great a signal throughout the house, even in the basement. No need for a booster. Setup was easy and we’re all thrilled.

Purchased this for my 2600sq. ft. home when I had 1Gb fiber installed. Coverage for whole home is great, download speed is about as good as can be expected over WiFi, has great customization and advanced settings, does security scans of devices added and can block bad websites. Love it.

Nighthawk AX 5400 WiFi Works Great

I just set up an AX5400 router in my new home. We were having coverage and speed problems with the router our Internet provider included with their modem. The new home was designed to be totally wireless, so the load on the WiFi router is significant. TVs, computers, phones, thermostats, garage door opener, security system and even the lawn irrigation system operate through the Nighthawk. The incoming download speed is 400 Mbps from the provider and even in the most remote locations in the house we are getting over 100 Mbps, which is plenty of speed to handle our needs.

Got this to connect my ps5 to wifi, since my modem was at the other end of my house. I connected it to a xfinity xfi pod wired and would say i got around 400 mbps. It still wasnt a very stable connection but it work so far. Dont expect to play call of duty wirelessly because that is the only game you definitely need to be hardwired to play online.
It is an easy setup and you can the game boost feature to prioritize a device.
