    We run so many electronics in our home that require a fast & strong Internet connection, that I decided to spring for the higher priced Router. Summer break with constant whining that Xbox was too slow forced me into action! Worth every penny, things run smoothly now!

    Upgraded with a faster modem recently where I was only getting 33Mbps before at the router, now up to 113Mbps and i’m Only paying for 100Mbps. Had to reboot a few times and installed the new firmware and the iOS app on my phone, which lets me see all 13 devices I have and which is drawing the most bandwidth. The furthest room in my house before kept dropping the signal, but now still gets 90+Mbps with no drops at all. Online FPS on my PS4 while streaming Netflix on multiple devices is no problem at all. It was a great deal during the holiday!

    This router is by far the best electronics purchase I have made this year. It has given my SMART TV more power to explore more apps while staying speedily connected to the rest of the household's devices. There's no question as to which you should buy; this one is it!

    Replaced my old WNDR4000 with this beast and it definitely is a vast improvement! It covers the whole house and is situated in our basement in the same spot that the old one sat. It seems to carry the signal faster too with no buffering on Youtube or Netflix etc.

    Don’t have a huge home by any means, only about 1,500 square feet and this covers every inch. Really enjoying having WiFi everywhere, especially on the second floor where we just put a smart tv which couldn’t pull WiFi from my old router.

    WE used this to replace a modem/router from out ISP. The range is much better, and the speed also seems better for our mix of phones and computers. Video is much better. The set-up questions seemed to be a little difficult, but when I answered one of them "wrong" after reaching an impasse, all went smoothly. After NetGear's recent issues with security, I am very pleased to see that the router automatically updates. I am very pleased with this purchase. Although not a gamer, I did want to get something more on the cutting edge so I do not have to replace soon..

    Awesome router

    So I have a one bedroom apartment I live in. However I'm really picky with my internet and it's stable speed because of the wall separating my bedroom and the living room (were the router is located). Set up semi easy but if you put time into it you can cater the settings to your liking and the software is pretty thorough. Range is awesome! I have had wifi signal all the way to my parking spot that's roughly 200 feet away. All in all with all my hard wired tech and wireless devices connected to this router. None have any problems at all to connect which is pretty cool!

    Made my smart TV work like a charm. TV is about 50 feet from my office/ computer setup. Comcast Arris router would not reach with enough signal strength to run the apps, so I got the best router I could find, the NETGEAR R8000. You won't be sorry with this one!

    This Nighthawk X6 was perfect for our house. Didn't realize how many different devices we actually had. Without this Nighthawk, we wouldn't be able to use them all. Spendy, yes, but worth every penny!

    Fast Router

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 is a very fast router. It is bigger than other routers in it's class, so it takes up a bit more space, but it is a very good router. I upgraded from the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and I do see the difference. It is very easy to setup and it takes very little time and effort. The only issue I have with it, is the cost. I was lucky to get it on sale.

    I replaced existing Netgear router with this one due to weak signal in one of our distant bedrooms, and now that room has coverage, so this router defiantly has better range then the last model I had.

    This Nighthawk X6 Router was so easy to configure, and provides maximum coverage and security for my family. It is priced a little higher that the average router, but this is no average router. The technology built in is sure to last for the next several years.

    I have a 3 level house and they installed our Wifi router in the basement. So the signal was weak everywhere else but there. So once I installed our new router we now have a strong signal even on the 3rd level now. Love this product!
