Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy set up. Works well. No drop outs. Signal strength is strong.

Made a huge difference in our WiFi coverage. Would highly recommend

This worked great for a little while....now we are having issues.....weak signal and ethernet ports going out.

This router was always unreliable and riddled with issues. Since we bought it almost a year ago we never got anywhere even close to the speeds we were supposed to from our ISP even on the 6ghz frequency from 2ft away. The 6ghz 6E signal was unreliable at best and at worst just hardly never showed up on any devices that even support it. Had a brief power outage for a few seconds and since then the router has turned into a useless brick. Completely unable to connect to the modem anymore. Tried different cables, factory reset it and it didn’t fix it. Wish I would have never bought this router it’s been a rotten purchase since the beginning. Using an ISP provided router now and my speeds have significantly improved. Go figure.

Wifi signal much improved from an older Nighthawk Router with spotty signal.

A real nice upgrade. Easily can handle as many devices as you can throw at it.

Didn’t like this router, had problems getting it setup, but Netgear support was good. I currently have the Nighthawk R8000. I think is much better. At the end couldn’t get usb c Port to recognize any of by external drives. I got frustrated and returned unit, decided to keep by 7 year old R8000 with USB 3 till it dies.

Gives you faster speeds with little to no disconnects

The app set up was a little weird and had some bugs

Great app to make setup easy. Innovative looks and great functionality.

Powerful, effective and great looking. Can’t go wrong with this one!

Works great, set up a little difficult. Recommend buying.

Fantastic Product. Easy to manage. Wifi coverage is SPECTACULAR.

Just like everything else they’re becoming disposable. I’ve had two top-of-the-line models of the NETGEAR nighthawks and they both died the month after the protection plan ran out (24 months) .

Great product. Always buy the same brand.worth the money

Great router fast connection. Nice size perfect fit.

Working great so far. Set up was easy with the app.

the Geek Squad tech was able to quickly install it

NETGEAR - Nighthawk AXE7800 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router - Black

SPEED. RANGE. SECURITY. That sums up the big three features you get here, among many others. SPEED is amazing. In the same room withing 10 feet line of sight Wi-Fi connection is an amazing 2.1Gbps, more than twice that of a Network cable. Forty feet out with two walls and the connection is rate is especially amazing at 1.4 Gbps. Amazingly still a faster connection than a cable. My earlier routers typically drop their connection speed by more than half, and none reached this speed when in the same room, much less with a wall or two in between. RANGE is remarkable. I can stream video and surf the web anywhere in my house, through 4 walls, vents, wiring, plumbing, and on another floor. Speed is still over 100Mbps in the worst possible spot of my house without any extender. I have a Netgear EX8000 Mesh Extender, which I really needed with old Netgear X10 router. While I get good speed at the far end of my house, the extender supplies a switch where I have two printers and some other items wired in. SECURITY goes beyond the basics. The AXE7800 has several features. • SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) Firewall is standard on most routers. • DDoS (Distributed Denial-Of-Service) protection is a step up from DoS protection and should be expected at this price range. • A Guest network can be setup to keep devices with your personal data secure on a separate network from guests, and/or potentially less secure IoT devices which is what I mainly use it for. Not all routers offer this. • WPA3 support included for the latest Wi-Fi security protocol. • Most security incidents on home routers are the result of outdated firmware with known vulnerabilities. To protect from this, the router has an automatic firmware update feature to keep the router current. • Parental Controls are included that help manage your kids time and accessibility online. • NETGEAR Armor is like having an Antivirus Server on your home network. It scans and provides protection for all devices from malware, including that may not be capable of running anti-virus software such as printers, personal assistants, media streaming devices, game consoles, IP Cameras, etc. Bitdefender has been the top Antivirus product for the a few years now. The trial and subscription come with a Bitdefender Antivirus you can install on all your computers. Bitdefender has been among the top scoring Antivirus products for home and business for a few years now. With all the threats out there today using printers, IoT, and other such non-computer devices to get a foothold into your home, Netgear Armor or a similar security device is becoming essential at protecting your data and network communications. Netgear Armor will let me retire my dedicated security appliance, saving power and returning shelf space. I already have Bitdefender working well on my Windows 10/11 computers from another subscription directly with Bitdefender, but the Netgear Armor software does not recognize it and recommends installing its Bitdefender. A new install with the new subscription should resolve it. There are 4 1GbE ports available. The router supports linking two of these ports into an aggregated 2Gbs port. Useful for a high bandwidth device like a NAS or computer with a shared drive. This router is looking toward the future with two Internet ports; one 1Gbps port for today, and a second 2.5Gbps Multi-Gig LAN/Internet port for the next big jump in Internet speed. You can setup separate 2.4, 5, and 6 Ghz Wi-Fi networks with their own SSID’s, or a single name combining them all to allow clients to connect at their best speed. A USB 3.0 Type-C jack is on the back of the router. Plug an external USB drive in and the router can use it as a DLNA media server or as a Network Attached Storage to store/share files. While most Wi-Fi routers have enough antennas to make a porcupine blush, but the AXE7800 will make Manta Rays and Tie Fighter Pilots take a second look. It does look sleeker, is so much easier to dust and clean without breaking a fragile antenna. There is no need to move or tilt numerous antennas to tweak the coverage area. Inside each of the side wings are three antennas, six total, optimized to provide the best coverage and performance. I have the router in the back corner of my house, and it covered everything well where my earlier routers did not. It has the strongest signal I’ve ever come across. The router can be initially setup and managed from the Netgear Nighthawk App. For many people looking for basic functionality combined with some of the best speeds available, it may be enough, at least initially. But when you spend this much to get such a full featured router, you typically want more than the basics. Or the day comes when you need more. The AXE7800 dies not disappoint here. There are many more parameters and features available in the Web Browser interface you can fine tune to optimize the router to meet your needs. The AXE7800 router is one of the most powerful Wi-Fi routers I have used. With support for the latest protocols, it’s one of the fastest. It provided me with higher speeds though multiple walls and on other floors than any other router I have used yet, including other Wi-Fi 6 routers from other name brands. It has several thoughtful security features. The integration of Bitdefender in Netgear Armor is very welcome here and will go far to keep every device on your home network secure.
