Amazing router
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simply amazing - after so many issues with a previous router, this is by far the best I've ever owned. We have ~18 connected devices, including Nest suite of home products and streaming TV...this thing never misses a beat.

Fantastic Router!

The AX8 is very easy to set. The antenna provide great range. This is my first use of the auto assign of 2.4 or 5 GHz and it is working great. Very happy with purchase.

Great router
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tis is a great router. The range is incredible compared to my previous router. I actually like the antennas being hidden within the side "wings". I would recommend this to anyone looking for a significant range and signal increase.

Very fast efficient wifi
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It looks a bit space like but this thing puts out a good signal. So far no issues with any drops or missing bars from anywhere in the house. Apparently it helps to keep batteries on phones be more efficient but I yet to see a difference.

Nothing special for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this router to replace a awesome asus nighthawk that died after a firmware update. This router don't broadcast the speed that the asus does and there are random disconnects of devices. Overall not worth the price.

Pricey but so worth it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this router after I had purchased the Netgear Orbi and I absolutely LOVE it. It is a little pricey but it's super easy to set up and it's very quick! I barely wait 2 seconds for a webpage to load. I highly recommend this product!

No Parental Control/ Bad Nighthawk app
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Parents Beware!!!!. No parental control. This router is great if you don't have kids surfing the web. The nighthawk app that is required is not the same as the genie app. (The new app is just basic and is a downgrade from previous version). I had more option with my Netgear genie app using Netgear r6300. Netgear says that if you want to have parental control, you have to download another app with fees "Circle with Disney app" (* it does not work with this router!! ). For the price, netgear dropped the ball. I will be returning this router to bestbuy. The app needs to be just as good as the router it control.

Didn’t work out of the box

It would not recommend this router
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The setup was painful, the guide which comes with router says touse Nighthawk application on phone to configure router, I wasted hours trying to do it on mobile app. Finally I connected an ethernet cable to my laptop and configured in 10 mins. The Ethernet cable which came with the router was not working, I contacted Netgear after 40 mins wait the call got connected and they told me to replace from BestBuy. I returned my router and got second one. The Nighthawk application setup was unsuccessful on this router too, so I configured with help of Ethernet cable. The router was working okay, only until 3 days later. Now, I am unable to connect to my internet at all. I tested internet on my cable modem with a wired cable and it is working. But this router will never connect to internet. Also the speeds are very inconsistent, they were much slower than wired. A 300(After discount) dollar router should perform better. I am returning this second router tomorrow. And I will never purchase a Netgear again. Pros: Look Good signals across my home Cons: Slow internet speeds Unreliable connection. Unreliable parts Huge wait times to contact support.

Great Router
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this router to replace an old 1750 to reach farther without the use of an extender so my Ring camera wouldn’t have recording delays on the front of my house. It works great and there are no delays.

Fast and Furious!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Spendy but worth it! This router delivers as promised. As an engineer, I enjoy research so did plenty to land on this one as the best. Can't say one bad thing. The set up with the app is a super nice and easy feature that I really appreciate. We were able to eliminate an older air-mesh system because the signal is so strong everywhere in our two-story home (2000 sf/level). I wanted to future proof so it was important to include the "x" band which will replace "c/n" as technology evolves. I could see where this would be adequate for a smaller office as well. We have teenagers so it is common to have 14 devices connected which includes pc and console gaming, streaming videos, and other less intensive devices - all working great! All that I wanted and more.

More efficient that previous 1200
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since this piece of equipment is higher tech. There can be some set up issues. I am still trying to learn how and when to set 2.4 or 5 ghz. This seems to happen automatically. This machine has a lot of power and capability. I just have to learn to utilize it properly.
