Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you want a good quality router- this one is great! I got it to replace our Cable provider router... which was replaced numerous times for not doing the job. Not with our new Nighthawk router. This one does a great job and we have a two story house- which was one of the problems we had.

Very strong wifi signal , fast and reliable connection , cover the whole house plus front and backyard of about 5300 square feet total . only had the router for 2 months , the router is on 24/7 and it does not need to be reboot to fix the wifi connection issue like some other router did .

I bought this router to get better coverage throughout my house and it does this extremely well. In rooms where I was only getting two bars at best I now get a full four bars. I wanted it most to use along with my Sonus wifi music system and it serves that purpose perfectly. No more dropouts.........

I switched from a DSL to a microwave ISP so replaced my R7000 DSL / modem / switch / wi-fi (probably about five years old) with the R8000 that has everything except the DSL modem, then switched the R7000 to bridge mode to run it as a slave wi-fi network off the R8000. Was a pretty easy upgrade and the whole set-up has now been running for a few weeks without problems. I recommend Netgear across the board. I bought a switch from one of the other major brands a few months ago - it went down repeatedly. The manufacturer replaced it and the second one was the same - clearly poor design. I replaced it with a Netgear and not a single failure. The R8000 has so far lived up to what I expect from Netgear products. The environment is not an easy one : remote location where all TV comes in via the net, two people working from home, over 20 devices on the net and around 5,500 sq ft house.

My last router was fried and stopped working after 9 years. Thsi is a much better router. easy WiFi router to set up. netgear app offers monitoring and bandwith usage. Makes it easy to stream from multiple devices. Can set up guest access as well to keep network secure.

I was having all sorts of problems with my old belkin router. It didn’t even work well in an apartment. When I moved to into a large house it didn’t cut it. The router is a little overkill for 2200 sqft house, but I get perfect signal even in my backyard. Plus it looks really cool.

I was skeptical about this product, but it turned out great! I have gamers in my household and I never hear them complaining about the internet lagging unlike previous routers we had. It's a great product to have especially if you have gamers ir streamers in your house.

Finally I am enjoying high speed internet. If are suffering the AT&T misery which is now pandemic because half of the nation have to deal with AT&TNETGEAR - Nighthawk X6S AC4000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 5 is the answer my streaming went up 3x times finally I am receiving 400 mbps

It was great...before it broke. Firmware update would not complete due to a known hardware issue (per their own troubleshooting page). This was purchased Aug 2020 so not even a year. My husband is an IT Professional and contacted customer service after exhausting every avenue on their own website. This is where the two stars come in. He knew exactly what was wrong and advised the initial CSR of all the actions performed and referenced their website. She did not understand and attempted to coerce him into buying a customer service plan before she would help him. Long story short, he spent 2 hours on the phone, was cold transferred several times, and bullied by different departments to buy a support plan before even helping when this was still under warranty! He finally just purchased it and was transferred to another department to "help". This CSR insisted that he had to use remote access to diagnose it, meanwhile, my husband had to guide him on how to do his job. Eventually, the CSR concurred with my husband's original diagnosis and proceeded to initiate an RMA. I can only imagine if a less tech savvy person needed assistance. Just take the possibility of having to contact customer service into consideration prior to buying.

I purchased this to accompany my new modem and replace my rented equipment from the cable company. “Money Savings”. I have several items on my WiFi and it was running extremely slow. Right after I connected this router, the difference was dramatic. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I was having issues with my previous router and was looking for one router that can control multiple devices at once and not lag noticeably. I have over 50+ devices connected including all my smart home gadgets and this thing does not struggle whatsoever.

I purchased this two years ago and it has been trouble free. The range on both bands reached all three floors of my home with no extenders needed and my patio area. The web and phone interface for managing it is very simple and has all the features I need.

Our home is 1600 sq ft and with this recent upgrade from a small 10 year old rounter, this one gives us instant, fast internet service. The feeling it gives is like going from a old slow vehicle, to a fast hot rod!! Love it

I wanted a router that would cover my new house with zero drops. It being a tri band also allows me to have dedicated channels for certain devices which is nice and the Nighhawk app is nice to have. Easy to manage and see every device that is connected

Router was solid, updating, the firmware was not happening it would not update from the factory version using any method. It was returned

Don’t bother wasting your money please please please spend your money on something else this thing is absolutely garbage I’m upset how frustrating this product is it’s running on a firmware that will not allow you to update or downgrade firmware you are literally stuck and no way around it it will drop internet and refuses to connect to the internet literally connect my cable modem to my pc and it was receiving internet and this product can’t deliver do not waste your time effort and money on this I wish I could return it only had it for about a month and it’s been more of an issue than an upgrade than my old 100 dollar router that did a much better job than this please go get an ASUS router if your looking because the costumer service can’t help either Net gear you stole my money buy selling me this trash

This router was a nice upgrade from my previous setup as it couldn’t handle the amount of devices connecting to it at any given moment.. this router was great for delivering reliable speeds and took care of the network congestion for me!

I was having issues with my TWC router and couldn’t even load Netflix in my bedroom. So I went out and purchased the X6S and this was worth every penny plus more! I can and have easily ran 4 Xboxs playing APEX at once.

We have 6 people living in our house with 3 active gamers as well as 2 fire sticks and 5 cell phones and had a lot of lagging with the router provided by our internet provider since adding this router we split the bands to separate different uses and have had little to no lagging.

So far, so good. I would rather a mesh system, but needed the extra lan cable ports, which the mesh systems come with 2 at most (a few come with more than 2, but have low customer satisfaction ratings). The signal is definitely stronger in my house.
