This router is fantastic! Anyone sitting on the fence about this—perhaps due to experience with an older Netgear model or concerns about the higher-priced options—should know that the 300 is excellent. It supports BT's PPPoE connection (as I am in the UK) and delivers near-full package speeds over Wi-Fi. Most of my PCs are hardwired for the office, so they benefit from the 2.5Gb LAN port, which can easily connect to a switch. I don’t find the complaints others mention about ads in the control panel to be an issue; they are likely just promoting their own products. The interface includes only what you need and is very easy to use. The ping is fantastic for gaming. I have minor ocd not diagnosed but I dont like changing brands that have been reliable for me in past this router fits the bill for me.

This is a stunning cable/fibre router for online gaming and home use where there is a demand for lots of Wifi and Network use. I currently have this connected to a 5 port hub, which feeds an 8 port hub upstairs, then feeds a 16 port hub. It also feeds a lower spec Orbi which is Tri-Band (long before Netgear did triband routers). My current ISP is supplying 500mb, and I have on instances on tests got 501-600mb with a respectable 100mb+ upload. I initially had problems with connection to my ISP, but this was due to a shipped firmware as the unit was bought from Amazon and been in the warehouse.Once I had upgraded the firmware, it connected in seconds and has not given me any problems. The web interface is easy to navigate and laid out to locate all options. My fibre line is still settling, but i am consistantly getting 375-400 up to 500mb. My original ADSL/VDSL router was a Nighthawk and also very efficient, I do love Netgear products and the Nighthawk is a wonderful additional to the network and performing flawlessly.

Got this to replace Vodafone hub as we have a large amount of devices connected as do most houses now with multiple IOT devices. Signal is great and setting up was easy with no issues found on older IOT devices trying to connect to the WiFi. Problem is that it fails in day to day use WiFi wise. I got it as it had WiFi 6 but in the end had to disable it along with the ofdma modes. On 6 the computer experienced multiple timeouts and huge ping times. I used a draytek 130 as a modem but found the sync rate is slower that the Vodafone hub. Initially it was half the speed (10meg) but this was down the the vigour having an old firmware version. Updated it and connection was faster and more stable although still not what it was originally (17meg instead of 25meg) computers and phones have trouble sometimes with the WiFi not responding so that when you open a webpage or an app it just hangs or reports not connected. I have a net gear signal repeater connected via WiFi to the router to boost the signal to the garden for a ipcam (not hardwired just uses the 5ghz for backhaul) and this is set to combined ssd like the main router. If you connect to this with the phone or laptop you have no timeout issues or anything like that which is strange as the ax6 is still handling everything. Some of the built in monitoring features are fair to middling and the big seller of phone app control provides very little control over settings. All in all very very disappointed with the amount of money I wasted on this as most features have been turned off as per the forum advice to try and improve performance

Purchased for our new home, but due to temporary living arrangements, it was required to be used early. The virgin media hub was not able to send a strong enough signal to where I work from. I set the RS6000 Nighthawk up to increase the range. It has worked brilliantly. Before, I was dropping out of teams calls, losing connection and not able to buffer simple instagram videos and now this all works lightning fast. Updating my Xbox series X games over WiFi and I was getting around 150Mbps which isn’t bad, considering before I couldn’t watch an instagram reel. Setup was easy (Nighthawk doesn’t support coax) so to utilise this with Virgin Media, you first need to switch the hub into modem mode and then link via Ethernet from port 1 on the Virgin Media hub to the internet port in the Nighthawk. You can the setup the router via the app which takes about 20-30 mins with firmware updates. The router is expensive but when you rely on connectivity to work, it pretty much pays for itself. All in all, a fantastic router which has plenty to offer in configuration and allows you to get the best out of the fibre you purchase from your ISP. It also looks like a beast!

Works well and pretty easy set up. Phones are set to automatically use WiFi 6

Brought this product AX8 RAX70 to address my bad Wi-Fi, LAN and jitter issues with my virgin superhub 4. Highest test speed I got right next to the virgin router was 500Mbps at best on my iPhone. Running in modem mode and letting this take care of the routing now getting 800Mbps on Wi-Fi at last finally getting the speeds I pay virgin for and not having to reboot everyday as it was killing my Skype / teams meetings due to jitter. Even in the bedrooms I’m now getting 600-700mbps with my iPhone 11. Had a quick look at the subscription features ok but the parental guard has limits and you have to pay to unlock premium features but the basic stuff is fine for what I need. Downloaded the app and the set up was really easy, was up and running in minutes, spent more time getting virgin hub to run in modem mode. Once configured you have to leave the super hub off for 5-10 so the MAC address cache clears from virgin side (virgin don’t tell you this) and also don’t connect RAX70 to the hub. The app is fine for your basic everyday needs but your need to go into the web interface to do the final config parts like having all the bandwidths as one SSID or separate them. Overall impressed with it so far fix my terrible issues with virgin which I thought going to have to leave virgin.

Out of my 1 Gbps bandwidth I get like 600 Mbps on all of my devices in a very small apartment. Huge lag spikes in gaming, every 20-30 minutes I get latency spikes of around 5000 milliseconds (20 milliseconds average). If you are techy and want to debug it, forget it. The capabilities of this device are so limited, that any cheap tp-link would beat it. It has some logs but they are useless, they don’t write any useful info. It’s advertised that it has VPN client features, but in reality it’s limited to only one VPN provider that is of a very low quality. Router has a Broadcom chip and there is no custom firmware available for this platform. And the stock firmware is an absolute trash. Almost all of the features require a subscription. This is an ok router for a regular user, but for an advanced user, gamer or tech guy this is an absolute no. But if you want a regular router why should you spend more on a thing that works worse than any low budget solution. If I still could return it I would, but I had it for a year and now I will just throw it in a trash bin and get some ASUS instead.

Valt regelmatig uit. Oogt softwarematig 'beta'/onvolwassen. Voor dit geld verwacht je 'perfect', en dit is een ding dat je constant aan het resetten bent en dan dit weer heeft en dan dat weer heeft.

Hat eine übersichtliche Menüführung hält was er verspricht. Habe mich für ein stärkeres Modell der gleichen Modellreihe entschieden, da ich doch etwas mehr Geräte als gedacht im Betrieb habe, die eine Hochleistungsinternet benötigen. Super ping Zeit. Leider hat er Route recht wenig Einstellungsmöglichkeiten. Wenn man ehrlich ist, stört das aber nicht besonders vereinfacht die Handhabung des Gerätes. Der einzige Wermutstropfen ist, dass, wenn man die automatische Netz Wahl zwischen 2,4 GHz 5 GHz und 6 GHz aktiv hat, dass man keins der Netze deaktivieren kann ohne die Automatik zu verlieren. Andere Route haben die Möglichkeit eine automatische Netzwahl zwischen 2,4 und 5 GHz weiterhin zu ermöglichen, ohne 6GHz aktiv zu haben.

Dopo ben 7 anni di servizio il mio NETGEAR D6400 cominciava ad avere qualche problema di connessione, decido così di cambiare il mio router principale con un altro sempre della NETGEAR, visto che, mi ci sono trovato benissimo. Opto quindi per la loro serie di punta i Nighthawk. Ho scelto il RAX70 perché i modelli superiori, nel mio caso, non mi servivano. Non ho tutta questa necessità del Wi-Fi perfetto, più copertura o di più porte, volevo un altro top di gamma che mi duri anni, affidabile e prestante e dio mio se questo lo è! Sono rimasto piacevolmente stupito dalla rapidità e facilità di installazione e settaggio del router tramite la loro App. Tramite quest'ultima infatti non ci si può sbagliare, basta seguire quello che dice ed il gioco è fatto, poi certo ovviamente, per i più smanettoni come me, c'è la possibilità di collegarsi direttamente tramite browser e modificare tutto quello che si vuole, ottima anche l'interfaccia di quest'ultima che è rimasta sostanzialmente la stessa del mio vecchio D6400, ovviamente graficamente rivisitata, quindi sapevo già come muovermi. L'App oltre che per il settaggio iniziale è molto utile per monitorare la propria rete in generale, si possono leggere le varie statistiche e info del router, visualizzare i dispositivi connessi, bloccarli o raggrupparli per cartelle e categorie, gestire il Parental Control, il Wi-Fi, le statistiche del traffico, Speed Test e molto altro. Ovviamente il tutto anche da remoto, non per forza quindi bisogna essere connessi al Wi-Fi stesso del router. 📦 All'interno della confezione troviamo: - Router NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8 Router WiFi 6 RAX70; - Cavo ethernet; - Cavo di alimentazione; - Manualistica varia. 💶 Prezzo: Acquistato per € 174,50 (159,50 + 15 di spedizione)prezzo a mio parere ottimo per ciò che offre. ✅ Lati Positivi: - Ottime prestazioni; - Qualità dei materiali; - Facilità installazione; - App assocciata davvero ben fatta. ❌ Lati negativi: - Ad ora nessuno, è una bomba! 🤔 Considerazioni Personali: La serie Nighthawk è oramai sinonimo di qualità e affidabilità, in ogni caso qualsiasi prodotto prediate varrà assolutamente l'acquisto, fate voi le vostre valutazioni tra i vari modelli a disposizione e acquistate ad occhi chiusi, non ne rimarrete delusi. Ovviamente questi tipi di router è per chi un minimo ne capisce, infatti fate attenzione al fatto che non è un Modem-Router bensì solo Router, significa che il collegamento che dovrete fare sarà a cascata con quello del vostro provider. Io personalmente ho il Modem-Router del provider a cui ho spento il Wi-Fi e lo utilizzo solo da intermediario tra la loro infrastruttura e la mia rete, a lui ho collegato solo il mio RAX70 e l'ho impostato da crearmi una nuova rete (192.168.2.1). Risulterà così che, il provider vede un unico dispositivo collegato ad esso, il RAX70, mentre a quest'ultimo si collegheranno tutti vari dispositivi (smartphone, pc, tv, dispositivi smart, ecc) che solo lui gestirà autonomamente, ad ora ne risultano collegati una quarantina è va da dio! Acquisto assolutamente consigliato! (La recensione è basata sulle mie esperienze personali, per questo le cose dette possono non rispecchiare al 100% la vostra esperienza che potrebbe essere diversa) Abito in una piccola città quindi i tempi di attesa possono essere non immediati, dopo aver fatto l'ordine, contattai direttamente l'azienda che lo vendeva, "musicinn_strumentimusicali" per sapere se si poteva fare qualcosa per i tempi di consegna, visto che era prevista a circa un mese, molto gentili e disponibili mi hanno risposto subito dicendomi che avrebbero controllato e provato a sollecitare ed evidentemente qualcosa hanno fatto visto che dalla conferma dell'ordine mi è stato consegnato 9 giorni dopo. Complimenti al venditore! Spero di esservi stato utile! 👋 Simone.
