    This device failed after 10 months. Netgear won’t honor the 1 year warranty. They want me to pay them another $90 even though the product is useless at this point. I will never buy a Netgear product again.

    Netgear usually makes a really good product. The piece of equipment doesn't fall in that category. Mine worked for about 30 minutes and then bricked. It wouldn't reset. All the lights just blinked. I ended up with another Netgear router and it worked fine. I wouldn't recommend the AX6000.

    After almost 1 year stopped working. For almost 500 bucks a replacement should be automatically provided. Also, stopped working means it would no longer connect to the internet although my service was operable.

    Purchased and brought it home to have for an install appointment. The unit did not work and was told by the install technician that it was the second one that day he had seen that was dead out of the box. Same model and it was something he had seen quite often.

    Worked great when purchased in 2021 and ever since January 2023 it’s been just awful. High ping rates and tons of drop signal. I’m about about to hit it with a golf club.
