Will not stay connected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The router disconnects from the internet very frequently. I have to unplug it from the wall to reboot it and reconnect. I'm running the latest firmware and it still has this issue.

Worse Router I have ever purchased
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely a total failure. The signal did not reach across a 20 foot open room. Also it could keep connected to Alexa enabled plugs and light bulbs. When asking Alexa to turn on or off a device it would sometimes take 30 - 60 seconds for action to occur. Replaced it with Orbi by Netgear and could not be happier.

Hardware Great; Software Lacking Features
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to upgrade to a WiFi 6 router and I had ASUS routers before and decided to give NETGEAR a try for my next router. While this was great hardware-wise it was lacking in features compared to the ASUS router I had before. In the end I ended up returning this and going with the ASUS RT-AX88U since it kept all the features I had before and was reliable hardware

Trash
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is awful. It came highly recommended at the local brick and mortar. Brought it home to replace my google router. Bad idea. This thing is junk. Won’t connect to anything, speeds are deplorable at best. Hooked my google router back up and good to go.

Terrible device!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It did not even last 7 months before i started having connection issues. I reached a point where support would no longer help me. It had very poor speed and very poor connection maintained. I used to be a big netgear fan, but after this I moved on to Asus.

Drops & short range
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wifi signal with the AX8 was dropping frequently and poor around the house. My house is fairly open plan and about 2,700 sf. I returned this and replaced it with an Orbi Mesh AC2200 system. The Orbi works and wifi speeds are consistently in 200-400 range around the house. My internet plan is 400 speed.

new wi-fi 6 router from netgear
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not happy with this router as was never able to connect my media ssd hard drive to it. No response from netgear support either.just went ahead and installed it on the shield for plex.If i had the chance to do it again i would have waited for the asus brand as I'm sure they are much better in top of things especially on the support side. have build many systems with asus MB's with no problem and great support

Constantly needs to be rebooted
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had several Netgear products in the past without issue. This product is riddled with bugs and constantly has to be rebooted. Due to the terrible app it can only be rebooted physically which is annoying when it has to be done constantly. I’d recommend avoiding this one if you can.

No complaints
