NETGEAR Nighthawk 8-Stream WiFi 6 Router (RAX70) - Security Features, AX6600 Tri-Band Wireless Speed (up to 6.6 Gbps) - Coverage up to 2,500 sq. ft., 40 Devices

Way more than I need - I could run a big office on this by itself - strong signal, great diagnostic software, high speed Ethernet, crazy fast wireless, Netgear Armor (Bitdefender Antivirus Subscription) is a nice - a really good bonus, but maybe a little pricey but works for every device on the network...VPN options, faster than you need now connectivity. Easy to setup really Techie options, if you know just enough to click the right box. but will punish a bad guess. (Did you know you can't do QOS with WAN Port Bonding?) Paired this with the Netgear CM1200 modem on Comcast Gig, bonded the WAN ports (overkill, yeah baby), bonded a pair of the Gig Ethernet to a Cisco switch for more gooey bandwidth love... going to add a Netgear mesh extender option just to roll in crazy bandwidth. I had a few glitches during activation (all worked but didn't show correct details in management web) - Support took care of it all, not the first week but it is smokin' now, thanks guys! This rocks - if you probably don't need tri-band on the RAX70, get the RAX80 which has some tiny differences, and maybe better for a single access point device wireless solution for most. Love this toy!!!

Really happy with the product. Setup was a breeze and everything is lighting fast. I signed up for FiOS and my old router could not make use of the FiOS gigabit speed. This new router is AMAZING. I am on WIRELESS and getting double what I was getting on the old router. Wireless is supposed to be slow! Or so I thought. This router has a lot of great features including a guest network, dynamic DNS, and automatic switching between two high-speed 5GHz networks. The router interface is extremely similar to my old Netgear but its just cleaner and more modern which makes it enjoyable to use. The Nighthawk app, eh- take it or leave it. It's a cool option to have but sort of unnecessary in my opinion. My only complaints are as follows. Documentation is lacking on what the "high-speed" port is on the back, and how to make use of it, and the option where you can combine two ports into one super-speed port. There isn't a description of this or really any explanation how to turn this on. There also isn't a good description of how the antenna work so you are left testing it out yourself or guessing if you can mount the unit to a wall without affecting its performance. If you are deciding between a bunch of routers, the RAX70 is the best router to get. If you have the money for a more expensive one, go for it, but I don't think you are getting too much more for your money, likewise, I wouldn't choose any of the lesser models as there are some important features exclusive to the RAX70. I wouldn't go with any other brand. Netgear has excellent products and I have always had Netgear routers and never had one fail on me. All of them I had to replace as I got other equipment but never due to the product itself failing in any capacity. Overall I'm impressed with the product. Setup was a breeze, and I couldn't be happier with my new Netgear Nighthawk!

I guess you get what you pay for. Not a cheap router by any means, but this beast delivers. A new ISP recently introduced fiber to our area and I immediately ditched my 60Mbps(down) & 5Mbps(up) provider. Although I signed up for the 600Mbps plan (upgradable to 1Gbps), my older router just couldn’t handle it and I was only receiving about 230Mbps(down). Another problem I faced was the lack of range - simply moving to my bedroom about 30 feet away left me with almost no useable WiFi reception. I really wanted to take advantage of the plan I was subscribed to, so I started doing a little research about newer router offerings. I narrowed my search to the NETGEAR Nighthawk range and decided to take a gamble on this new model 6600. I’m no expert, but I must admit that I’m thrilled at my user experience thus far. I selected the “Smart Connect” option which simply allows my router to determine the best frequency to utilize. My connected devices would optimize their connection by automatically and seamlessly switching between 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The range of this router is also greatly superior to the one I retired. My residence is slightly over 1400 sq ft and this router has no problem penetrating walls and doors to provide good coverage. This coverage also extends well into my 300 sq ft garage, front lawn and backyard. The NETGEAR Nighthawk 6600 also provides a 30-day free trial of NETGEAR Armor and Bitdefender Security. I like it and have installed it on all my mobile devices. The annual plan costs $69.99 but mine came with a promo code (armor35), knocking $24.50 off the original cost and bringing the subscription to a more reasonable $45.49. I would highly recommend this router to anyone who would like to increase the coverage range and WiFi speed of their existing set-up. Almost a must-have for fiber connections.

For years I’ve used old cheap routers and have always wondered why I was never getting what my internet provider promised me. Recently I took the plunge and bought the Netgear Nighthawk and the difference has been night and day. Not only is my connection incredibly stable and reliable, but I am even getting faster speeds than I am paying my provider for (I am paying for 500 MB and I am getting over 600 MB with the Nighthawk.) The installation was done in less than 10 minutes, and it was super simple to do all on my own. To everyone who is on the fence, please, get the Nighthawk. This product is absolutely amazing.

The router was very easy to install through my hard-wired desktop computer. Because I named the 2.4 GHz network the same as on the old router, with the same password, all my smart devices connected automatically. But the Nighthawk app that I installed on my phone for remote access to the router is atrocious. I uninstalled it after NETGEAR insisted that I create a NETGEAR account and agree to a predatory privacy policy. Not going to happen. The automatic firmware update also didn't update to the newest version 1.0.20.174 posted on the NETGEAR website, rather only 1.0.19. xxx (forgot the last digits). But because everything works smoothly so far (30 minutes after the installation), four stars.

set up was pretty easy and this thing absolutely rips. It has phenomenal range as well.

I bought the NETGEAR AX6600 to upgrade my old Almond+ router. My Almond+ router is 5 years old. I've got video intercoms, ring devices, Echo shows, MyQ, Wyze sprinkler controller, 3 Tivos, 4 Tivo mini---39 devices total. I gave the new router my old network name and password (Netgear suggestion) so I wouldn't have to reformat all my devices to the NETGEAR router. I spent 2 days working on this project, 4 calls to NETGEAR tech support, hours watching a blue line progress across my cell phone screen while it waited for the router to boot up, again and again, and I got no where. ONE device hooked up to the new router (my MyQ garage door controllers). The other 38 devices refused to connect to the NETGEAR router after unplugging and plugging back in to power. (This seems very strange that one device connects using the same name and password). The 8 intercoms simply would not connect at all, no matter what I did. Two Echo devices would communicate with the NETGEAR router, but ONLY after I cleared them out and entered them as new devices. Mind you, I was using the SAME network name and password. Some devices would not connect because it said the password was not correct (yet 1 device successfully connected using the exact same name and password). I'm not going to clear and reenter 38 devices so they work with this NETGEAR router. The tech support comes from India. The phone connection is terrible. The background noise is distracting. They sound like they are talking from inside a box. The language barrier is brutal. Most things had to be repeated numerous times. Just when you think you are making progress, you are disconnected. They ask for your phone number in case you are disconnected, sure. Do they ever call you back? NO. You must start over, giving the same information over and over again--EVEN WHEN THEY GIVE YOU A CASE NUMBER FOR REFERENCE! It is all I can do to prevent myself from drop kicking this %!@#^ router out into the street and run it over with my car! I'd still be out 2 days of my time, frustration beyond belief, and $330 I paid for it at Amazon. This thing is DEFECTIVE. I will never buy anything made my NETGEAR again. Looking forward to boxing this JUNK up and shipping back to AMAZON.

Coming off of a system that was probably at least 10 years old this was a substantial upgrade in speed and range. The set up was very easy using the Nighthawk app. I love being able to see in a couple clicks all the devices that are on the network. This makes adding wired and wireless devices back to the new network really easy even with older devices.

Muy fácil de instalar y el internet es mucho más rápido
