Works great with AT&T Fiber service.
Do not use the Armor Security and other features such as Traffic meter, and any other Bloatware features on the router and it works great.

Replacement. 1st one stopped working & thanks to geek squad policy, replaced with this upgraded model. Love that I can set up a ton of devices & have a guest account too. The furthest room in the house had no issues reaching it.

After using the router for 2 weeks, it’s been great so far. Great speed. Great coverage for me. Haven’t noticed any speed limitation when streaming from multiple devices.

Added this to a business to provide wifi access over a large distance. Good options available for added security. Definitely a little spendy, but it looks cool.

Pricy but you get what you pay for. Only con a fan, its not noisy, Easy set up. Set up thru the internet verses the app.
Average with fiber optic cable 1.4Gbps. No reboots steady signal. Great coverage in my space. Works better if you have a onboard WiFi 6E on PC.

Got this after trying just about every other option including eero mesh wifi and this Nighthawk is insane. Probably overkill for most people but if price isnt an issue than its worth the piece of mind.

My old router went to the big router in the sky. My quest was for a super strong router that could handle 50 wireless “toys”! This router hit the mark!! Hats off to Netgear!

I’ve used Netgear Routers, Modems and Extenders for as long as NETGEARS been makin em! Tried Lynksys, and a few others, but ALWAYS came back to NETGEAR! My point is…..inKNOW ROUTERS!. And I KNOW NetGear Routers, and Networking! Been doing it a VERY long time! Well, I bought this AX11000 WiFi 6 Router, ….WHY WiFi 6? I have NO F’n idea LOL….Thought “Bigger, more Expensive is better, I guess…..anywayyyy I get router #1….go thru installation, no problem, I like using a Computer for set up, the NightHawk app is ok if your not really “Networking or Tech Savvy” but using a Computer gives you access to MANY MANY More settings!
Well, got it all up and running….saw my 2.4 & 5ghz Channels…..used same SSID & pswd so all devices hooked right up, but HERE is where the Trouble started….I have over 1000mbps coming INTO the router, so I ran the 1st (of MANY) SPeed Tests, and low & Behold with around 1100mbps coming into the router, my 2.4ghz band was only readin around 25-30 mbps D/L side, and 1.5-3mbps Upstream???…..scratch head….run speed test on 5ghz channel, now I oughta be HAULIN BUTT on this channel right?……. 90-120mbps Downstream, and 12-17mbps upstream! Double, Triple, checked all my settings, used a dozen or more different speed tests with different servers, CHANGED A BUNCH of settings, one at a time….speed test, repeat….never got more than 100-120mbps downstream on 5ghz channel, so obviously this Router is faulty ! No biggie, it’s happened before, returned it for a new one, same model got it home and set up….SAME ISSUES! Went on every BLOG I could find on the subject no come to find out this is a VERY COMMON issue with this router! Was on the phone with Nether for over an HOUR performing EXACTLY the same Troubleshooting procedures I had already performed humpteen times! LOL….TOOK OVER AN HOUR for the Netgear Tech to emit to me they have had issues with this router! Grrrrrrrr ya THINK ya could have BEGAN the conversation with that lil TidBit? Grrrrrrr
Soooooo I sent the 2nd one Back and got one of my Old Trusty Ax12 /AX6000 Routers, and HOLY CRAP……Guess what? ……2.4ghz channel, 220mbps downstream, 12-18mbps upstream, and on the 5ghz Channel, ya ready?………back to my good ol 880-900mbps downstream, and 25-40mbps Upstream!
I’ve found that using the following settings Maximized my Speeds by a pretty good margin from the Recommended NetGear settings:
FIRST: UPDTE TO NEWEST FIRMWARE!!
1) AX ENABLED
2) Smart Connect DISABLED! (Smart Connect allows the Router to judge how much signal goes to each device. And your 5ghz channel becomes “Hidden” and you will only see the One SSID……..I like to decide which one of my devices gets how much Power! So I highly recommend leaving this box Unchecked!
3) Set Security level to WPA3 Personal or WPA2/WPA3, if you have some older devices still using WPA2, UNDER NO Circumstances should you use WEP, WPA, WPA/WPA2,
4) Hidden Network: A router can be configured to hide its network name (SSID) you’re router might incorrectly use “closed” to mean “Hidden” and “Broadcast” to men Open!
Hiding the network name doesn’t conceal the Netwerk from detection or security against unauthorized access. And because of the way that Devices search for and connect to Wi-Fi networks, using a Hidden network might expose information that can be used to identify you and the hidden networks you use, such as your home Network!
5) Channel: Set to “AUTO”
6) Channel Width: set to 20 MHz for the 2.4 GHz band and set to auto for all widths (20mhz, 40mhz, & 80mhz) for the 5ghz Band.
7) DHCP: set to “Enabled” if your Router is the only DHCP Server on the Network!
8) MAC Address filtering, authentication, access control: SET TO DISABLED! when this feature is enabled, your router can be set up to allow only devices that have specified MAC addresses to join the Network!
Sorry for the “Novel”, but I sure wish someone had told ME all of this stuff, …. Could’ve saved me DAYS! But, I have found that using the settings I have described above are the PERFECT Set up for ME! Every Set-up is gonna differ, but under normal conditions, these are Optimal Settings for a Netgear Router AND Extender!
Hope it helps SOMEONE! LOL

This router is the best. My house is only 1200 Sq feet. If you want a guaranteed signal, get this router. If you buy a router that that say is for your size house, you will still have issues.
You need a router that is much bigger than your house.

It works well. I had to find a new router quickly because my old one died. It was about six years old. Luckily Best Buy had my first choice at the store closest to me. This router has good reviews which is why I chose it.

After a lot of research, trial and errors i decided on this wireless router. During the first couple weeks of use I was unsure and considered returning the router, but NETGEAR tech support was very helpful. I am very pleased with the router and would recommend it to a friend. Its a bit pricey but well worth it!

The AXE11000 is a great choice for the user who works all day in IT but when you come home just want things to work, easy while staying secure, set it and forget.
