    I have 35+ wireless devices at home, and just added a 75 inch 4K Smart TV. The movies started to lag. I replaced my router with THE NETGEAR AX12 and it fix the problem. All my devices are even quicker that ever. I highly recommend this router if you have a lot of devices.

    Setting up this router was very easy. I have good wifi in every room. My wireless speeds are excellent! This router is not cheap but I'm satisfied with the purchase. Good riddance to my old dlink router that had to be reset every day. You won't be disappointed with this router.

    This Nighthawk router is simply the best I've ever owned! It works great with my Netgear CM2000 modem with gigabit speeds. I'm able to reach gigabit speeds over wireless to my iPhone and Macbook Pro. I highly recommend this model!

    Bought the nighthawk ax12 to replace the 1900. Due to this pandemic my daughter, a teacher needed reliable wifi for her zoom classes. After getting the router, we added some surveillance cameras and it has not made a dent in the router. Best buy yet.

    Not only does it look like a spaceship, it has a pretty cool App with a good amount of options. I would actually like more options, as we have super fast internet, and I always worry about having a router that can handle the speed. This is a great router.

    This routers performance is amazing! I now have an awesome WiFi signal all over my 2800sq Ft house. Works perfectly with my 1gb Fiber Internet too. The design is cool too. Looks great on my wall in my gaming room! Great job Netgear!

    More Expensive Doesn’t Mean Better…Avoid

    I had to return this router after about 30 days. The constant random disconnections from 5ghz signal made it impossible to conduct business and work from home. After doing some research, I found this to be a common problem with the RAX120 model. Also, being a dual band router severely limits the ability to take advantage of Wifi6 as you can either chose to run it in 80mhz mode (preferred by most legacy devices) or 160mhz, which provides true Wifi6 but creates issues with legacy devices that aren’t set up with Wifi6 hardware. Running it in 160mhz mode causes random drops in the 5ghz spectrum and it’s best to leave it at 80mhz mode; basically making it on-par with a high-end wifi5 AC router. Overall, it appears that Netgear rushed the RAX120 to market in 2019 and slapped Wifi6 on the box before the hardware was ready. Netgear has been promising patches for the past 2 years now to address the myriad issues that this router has but the patches have just created more and more problems. My advice is to save your money and go with the cheaper Nighthawk AX6600 (released in late 2020) as it’s a tri-band router that is compatible with both legacy devices and newer Wifi6 devices and gives you the best of both worlds. Don’t get caught up in the Netgear marketing hype of 12 streams vs 8 streams when choosing a router; the metric that Netgear uses is extremely flawed and is a way to get uninformed consumers to go for the more expensive router over the cheaper and more capable router. On the plus side, the coverage range of the RAX120 is pretty impressive, but that’s about the only thing it has going for it. You can get a lot more for a lot less money if you keep looking.

    This is just about the most redonkulous WiFi router I have ever used. It is blasting signal to all the phones and Wii consoles while link aggregated to the switch going to all my PCs and wired consoles without missing a beat. Well worth the cost.

    Remarkably easy set up, using Nighthawk App. I paired mine up with the Nighthawk CM1200-100NAS Modem. I get some pretty amazing range... whole house and yard coverage. I can even access my Wi-Fi at my neighbors house three doors down. Insane - I love it.

    Great router, fast, takes advantage of my gigabit fiber internet. Beautiful to look at. Great tools on app to manage and very customizable. Did have compatibility issue with my HP laser jet, had to "Disable PMF" under advanced wireless setup.

    This is the best router I have ever had. I live in a 3,500 sq foot house and I thought WiFi was going to be a problem and it definitely was until I bought this monster of a router. Excellent WiFi speeds. 22 devices connected.
