Great Router
I live in a 2 story 2800 sq ft home. This router provides excellent coverage all over. Easy to setup with the Nighthawk app. Mounted vertical on the side of the desk hutch with 2 back antenna vertical and 2 side antenna horizontal to proved full coverage. I highly recommend it.

Easy Set-Up, Great Security
We had a prior Nighthawk that lasted us quite a long time - 8 years. I did my search for a new router and considered many other products. Once again, I discovered the NETGEAR Nighthawk AX6 - Stream WiFi 6 Router (RAX50 well worth the money. I also liked that there NETGEAR has 4 versions from which to choose. Thus, I could choose the best option for my needs.

Purchase Netgear Routers with Confidence
I’m extremely pleased with my Netgear AX5400, it puts out WiFi signal to spare. My old AC1750 was still chugging along, but it wasn’t designed for computers, printers, cell phones, smart tv’s and more. I highly recommend all of Negears WiFi routers.

Out of the box performance
Our old router kept dropping WiFi around the house and was sluggish. Replaced with the nighthawk AX6 and been amazed at the speed and ability to seamlessly manage all our devices in the house. No more lag or drop WiFi. Took us less than 5min to have it up and running and secure. Also like the parental controls additional features. Overall extremely pleased.

Hate myself for not getting one sooner
As the title says I hate myself because for a while I’ve herd and seen reviews on the Nighthawk line of routers and only until recently have I finally purchased one and it completely passed beyond all my needs and expectations with extremely simple setup with the app and I was up and running in under 10min which was surprisingly fast as I had 9 WiFi devices and 7 WiFi lights and a WiFi security cam previously linked to another router and I didn’t have to do a thing cause everything just synced right in. I’m going on record stating that from now on I will only use and always recommend Netgear Nighthawk

Fast, strong signal but…
The router is fast and has good coverage and not to hard to setup. But after hours of of trying to connect my usb connected drive to ReadyCLOUD app without success. Spending a couple hours and sessions with tech support to find out for some reason this more expensive and 8 or so years newer router then my netgear r7000 that ad no problem connecting to ReadyCLOUD this router doesn’t support it. Beyond that it a good router so far.

Great whole house coverage!
Replaced cable company router and WiFi extenders with just Netgear nighthawk RAX50 and the coverage is great! I have no complaining kids anymore regarding WiFi. The range covers my 2,900 sq foot house from basement to 2nd floor and outside from the backyard pool to front yard extremely well. Easy to set up using app instructions on phone. One week using it and have had no glitches. Well done Netgear!

Replaced a NetGear N900 with this new Nighthawk bad boy. Used to be with the old N900 we would lose 75% of our speed on 2.4 and 50% on 5G. Just upgraded to 300 mbps business. Getting 333 mbps on 5 G 20 feet away from this new Nighthawk! Have an old Honeywell Thermostat that only connects to 2.4 54 mbps. Nice to be able to set Channel 1 2.4 54 mbps and have our older WiFi Thermostat connect and function fine! Super happy with this new Nighthawk Router and would highly recommend to anyone! A

Do not buy if you have use Mac
This thing is not designed to work with MacOS if anything goes wrong. I had some network issues during a firmware update, and there was ZERO useful support provided by net gear on how to un-brick it using a Mac. I had to scour Internet forums and do a bunch of stuff (that I didn’t fully grasp in Terminal, download some strange file from another forum, and manually restore the firmware on the router. If you primarily use MacOS, get something else.

Lightning in a box
I had upgraded to the nighthawk from my n-Series router when I was needing a larger range with faster connection in my house. I needed a router that could handle more devices with uninterrupted speed. After some review I came to the decision on the Ax6. I trust Netgear for reliability and easy to setup interface and wasn’t disappointed. Thanks!

Nice router
I bought this and it worked great but after connecting my wifi security cameras, I needed more signal strength. Not really the fault of the router since I have it installed at one end of the house and the cameras are all mounted outside and fairly long distance from the router. The signal strength in the house and even the garage was great. I went with the new RAXE500 and now have plenty of signal even outside through several walls.

New router
I got this router to replace a two month old router that just dropped internet every 5 minutes. The nighthawk has been amazing thus far. The only hiccup I have had is I have had to disable the smart connect WiFi as it was causing most of the WiFi devices to reflect no internet or very slow internet. Otherwise it’s been a great purchase.

AX6 RAX50
As a retired network engineer from a major US telecom, I have extensive experience with commercial grade networking products. For a midrange home router the AX6 has thus far performed beautifully. It replaced an R7000 and there is a notable improvement in performance. There has been both improvement on the wi-fi side of the router as well as smaller improvement on throughput to the Internet side of the router. The setup through the Nighthawk was seamless and very straightforward. One of the reasons for upgrading was the support for WPA2-AES and WPA3 as the R7000 only supported WPA2-TKIP which proven to be less secure. I have paired the router with an EAX15 Extender replacing a pair of TP-Link extenders. The improved wi-fi coverage on the new devices has allowed me to eliminate a 2nd extender. Home is 2 level, 2800 sq ft condo. One thing I would like to see would be support for trunking and VLAN implementation. My place has structured Ethernet infrastructure with outlets in every room. My 4 Rokus are all connected via Ethernet back to patch panel and Gig switch and from there to the AX6. Being to create a trunk to the switch and then separate VLANs to each of Rokus would allow me to get everything off a flat LAN. Just a thought. Overall the AX6 has fully met my expectations.

I live in a very isolated area.

I had really spotty service with my previous router and had to reset it almost once a day. After replacing it with this one over the past two weeks I have not had a single issue with my internet or any device in my home.

Review of nighthawk
The Netgear nighthawk has worked great for all our WiFi needs except for setting up the guest WiFi. It hasn’t worked. Everything else has been great and easy to set up.

No complaints!
The wi-fi speeds have been great and coverage in our house (approx. 2500 sq. ft.) has been no problem. Setup and install was very easy and quick.

Excellent product. Works as stated.
Very easy to set up and connect. The app makes the installation and set up efficient and quick. And the product works great at boosting the existing signal. It provides consistency to an otherwise inconsistent WiFi connection.

Works exactly how I thought it would
We looked into so many different routers, but the Nighthawk Ax6 caught my eye because of its power and price point. So far it’s been awesome, great distance coverage and protection. We are happy with our purchase.

I’m comforted by the security features of it (suck it, Biff Tannen, and have recommended it to my family members and even to my coworkers! The default settings aren’t the best.

Okay - not blown away
We got this one because I was tired of having interrupted connection to wifi, slow speeds and issues connecting. At first this was a godsend. But the next day after use, the wifi changed its name on us and we had to go through this entire reset to figure it out. We had to recreate and reset up the system. Since then it has been working normally. I just was not expecting any issues for the price we paid.

Looks like a space ship
Got the Nighthawk AX6 router and I’ve had it for about a week now. Even though it looks like an alien space ship I can’t help but like it’s sleek design and ability to take on a heavy work load. I usually game online while my daughter and wife stream on tv and this thing doesn’t miss a beat. I’m very happy with my purchase and am looking forward to testing its capabilities even further. Two thumbs up for this item… but it doesn’t come with the cow.

Excellent, fast router.
Bought this router to replace a very inexpensive (and slower router supplied by my cable company. Needless to say, this router is fast and can take full advantage of the speed that we pay for. In addition, it handles lots of devices at one time at very fast speeds (you don’t know how slow you have now until you get something this fast!). Excellent router, and pretty easy set up. Well done, NETGEAR!

Quick, easy, and powerful. Great range.
This router was very easy to set up especially with the use of the Nighthawk App. I had no complications and had it up and running in less than 7 minutes. It has amazing range but I am using it in a large greenhouse on a farm where there is little blocking the signal. The wireless signal form the router reaches places on the farm we have never had signal before.

Good Device; Netgear Account Required
I don’t have issues with the device itself; it works well. The app control experience isn’t that great for me because I had to register for an online Netgear account to be able to control the device, even locally, with the app. It wasn’t an option, it was a requirement. It was inconvenient having to provide my information when I really should not have to. Linksys routers compatible with their app allow you to use the app locally without having to register for an online account.

not as good as my old ac1900
Thought i was upgrading but the signal is not as strong as my old nighthawk ac1900 even on the 2.4ghz band. i bought a “mesh” range extender (also netgear to go with it and it was a pain to set up. had a lot of trial and error with different settings and locations. i blame the extender for most of the confusion. The automatic switching from 2.4ghz to 5ghz option on the router would not work with the range extender so i had to set it to be separate. Still can’t use 5ghz on my phone because the range is so much shorter and doesn’t reach to the areas i was hoping for. i did get wifi 6 5g to my living room tv, which was the main goal of upgrading i guess. every 2 days or so since i’ve gotten this i’ve had to do hard resets on the router. old router was maybe once per month. as far as quality goes, i feel this was a downgrade from my old ac1900 nighthawk router.

Great range in the house, but the technician who made the sales pitch said this would extend to the end of our property with ease which it does not. Overall very happy with the router and wifi range in the house, but was hoping it would reach the end of our property where we have a little pool house.

Excellent range and performance and very smart
I was a beta tester and know of all of its features now. The range is excellent and the signal quality is excellent in any corner of my home. It has also 5G WiFi which is way faster but not all of my IoT devices are compatible with it. However, the regular 2.4 Ghz WiFi is excellent too and I can use it even from afar in my backyard. The latest firmware update is stable and I didn't experience any bugs and signal loss. I also use it with Armor that comes with Bitdefender (yet subscription is necessary). It has a user friendly mobile app too with which I can control the router and change settings. What I like best though is how it smartly manages my internet connection and how it prioritizes media streams so I don't have to suffer from buffering. In the back is also a USB port so you can attach a USB drive/storage and share it with all who are connected to the router's WiFi. It has many advanced settings which should be a delight for power users.
Excellent range and performance and very smart

Best Router Ever
This is the zillionth time ive bought a router expecting it to perform decently well. This router blew all my expectations out of the water. Not only does it boost my internet downloading and uploading speeds, but it also blocks malfare and other potentially dangerous sites from all of my connected and compatible devices. It started with just the router, but now that i see how well it performs im definitely going to get the latest modem from NETGEAR as well.

Full wifi signal but can't connect to internet.(I confirmed the internet is working
Need to wait 40 second for a Wifi setup page
Each time click "Apply" need to wait at least 1 min during the setup.
No label on the antenna about the rear and side
Actually my old 3 antenna wifi signal is much better than this.

Great quality router
I really like the router so far I’ve only had it a week the features are great and the menus are organized well. The app on the other hand doesn’t work too well with ios13 but maybe that will be fixed in time. The performance of the router is great I am getting 238mbps which is great for the plan I’m under with my isp. The setup of the router was fairly simple and straight forward. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good quality router.

Good coverage and fast speeds
I received this router for testing, and was surprised at the capability. It has signal strength equal to my previous mesh system, and speeds that are better! The router has all the WIFI 6 features plus Netgear's Armor security available and a great app that makes setup easy. You can download a very thorough user manual that will guide you through specialized setup. This is a very powerful router for a big home, a home office, or even a small business. I recommend it!

Stability
I’d previous owned an AX120 and didn’t realize how spoiled I was until I no longer had it. I knew it was the right decision to get rid off as my apartment was far too small for that much wifi power, so I looked all over and through sheer luck came across the AX50, and boy does it ever fill big brother’s shoes! It’s as stable and consistently fast connection to all 8 paired devices, just as the AX120. The big reason why I got it this time is for a take-home standardizes exam. It turns out I was deducted two questions due to faulty connection, but with this AX50 I’ve yet to have any single issue. (HINT: AX120 NEVER did so I’m not expecting any!)

WiFi Range Improvent but...
I purchased the RAX 50s because the WiFi range on my xfinity xFi gateway wasn’t cutting it for my 3 storey home. The RAX 50 WiFi coverage is an improvement and speeds are decent (after a few hours tinkering with the settings). However the Smart Connect feature doesn’t work well. When enabled it’s supposed to combine both 2.4 GHZ and 5G wireless into a single WiFi SSID. However when I enable it, many of my OIT devices and cameras that use 2.4 GHZ WiFi only do not work! I checked the forums and this seems to be a problem many users have been facing for quite some time. Netgear, at this router’s high price point and reputation, buyers shouldn’t be having this type of problem. Please fix this issue and I’ll update to 5 stars. Thank you

The Nighthawk AX6 is very easy to set up, reboot button for quick restarts, and easy customization for access. Combined with a Netgear modem, I have seen great performance for my home wifi. My only gripe is mediocre tech support. The range of this router has been far greater than my Spectrum issued router. It also allows more devices.

I purchased the AX6 to replace my nighthawk AC 1900 router that we have used for years and I am so pleased! I went from getting around 50-100 mbps download and upload to early 1 gig down and up! I also love the Nighthawk app that helps me keep track of everything going on in my home network. Well worth the money spent! We have a constant 12 devices connected and nothing has any lag or what we call “the spinning pinwheel of death” or the loading icon anymore. I couldn’t be happier!

Does not meet expectations
The RAX50 should be, out of the box, one of the top of the line routers out there. It does not perform that way and offer the new User lots of hours of troubleshooting to perform. The advanced features like OFDMA cause the router lose connection to often. I performed a firmware upgrade and it bricked the router. Another couple of hours to get TFTP2 method to restore it and load the newest firmware. Just really unfortunate performance.

I have had fiber optic internet for the past 3 years but never justified the cost to upgrade to a router that would really take advantage of the potential. Now that my wife has been working from home over the last year (thanks Covid the cost for a new router was finally justified. This router not only boosted my speeds to an average of 500 Mbps up and down but it also reaches every corner of my fairly large house. The old router barely reached the office and now my wife is the one getting annoyed with her coworkers for having crappy internet. Oh how the tables have turned, thanks NETGEAR. Also worth noting that the app makes setup and managing your router a breeze.

Upgraded from the r7000 night hawk which I got years ago. Use to be a Cisco customer til that first nighthawk and I can’t say enough that is great about your products. Easy connection cept had a few older devices and had to shut ax in the new router off which is no big deal I am rural and peak at 18mg internet connection and yes I know the ax6 is over kill but I seen the sale price and I know you also get what you pay for. The only area I would like to see added is a option to tether a cell hotspot to the USB to share I can get 50m on my cell. I have seen the asus routers supper easy. Tried to bridge the r7000 and not so much. Have not tried the new router using it for the house the hotspot would have been for work. Ty for a great product will continue to remain a customer and recommend your products.

Bought a new netgear router, the rax50. Installation had some difficulties (nighthawk was not working on xiaomi a1 2.4 ghz), so went back to genie (please keep it). After that it went smooth. On two elder products, my mobile phone and lenovo laptop, the 2.4 ghz didnot work. Switch out the ax option and after that it went alright. Typical that you cannot use the ax option on and older devices.

Good performance, frustrating intermittent issues
If I had any confidence that other routers would be better, I'd buy one to replace this. I have never had any problems with throughput on this router, although I have experienced intermittent issues such as the router failing to route (i.e., LEDs are on and blinking, but no packets getting routed and the 5 GHz band dropping. I have also experienced problems with IoT devices not connected, somewhat mitigated by reserving IP addresses; but there is still the frustrating occasional problem of my DropCam not connecting. I am running the latest firmware, after having had the device be available on the market for a year - you would figure this would be more reliable. If you are reading this review, you should consider an Asus router instead.

Great 5G 2.4ghz keeps dropping randomly
Bought this in September 2020 after my old router failed after 5 years. The nighthawk 5G works great. However the 2.4 Ghz network constantly drops and requires a reboot to work again. With a lot of alexa plugs and neat robot vacuumes requiring 2.4, this has become a huge inconvenience.

A Solid Reliable Router with Good Speeds.
I have a 1200 square foot house with lots of corners and my signal was solid throughout the house. My devices that can take advantage of WIFI6 had a considerably more noticeable speed than when connected to WIFI5. I had 36 to 42 devices connected to the router at a time and never experienced a slowdown. I only stream TV and do not have cable or satellite TV while my kid games on a PC and my wife is constantly online. Netgear has done a good job of simplifying setup processes. I received and tested the beta version of the RAX50 router at no cost and this is my honest review.

Amazing protection
It was so easy to set up with the app and step by step instructions! The protection it provides is amazing! It notifies me through the app the moment a device connects so I am always aware and in control of everything. I would recommend this to all ages due to the easy setup and constant threat protection it gives.

The best
My first burned down with my home. Relocating meant hardship and “settling for less” - at least for awhile. And even though I am a guest at this friend’s house indefinitely, I simply could not deal with her unacceptably slow WiFi speed and capacity. So I bought another Nighthawk with Insurance money and now this 4BR/2BA home with 13 devices is running smooth as silk!

Slow speeds
I recently upgraded my internet to gigabit speeds. I got a Netgear cm1100 modem combo with my ac1900 router. After a week my router stopped connecting to the internet. I checked with cox and they said my internet modem had a strong signal. I thought maybe I need to update the firmware on my router, but the firmware was up to date. So I went and got the new RAX50. This router connected to my modem so that was a good sign but I didn’t expect to have slower speeds than I originally had before I upgraded my internet. I’ve rebooted, made sure my modem and router firmware was up to date. If this $270 router is this slow what am I paying for. It’s supposed to be ideal for Gigabit but I can’t even get 1/4 of gigabit speeds. I will definitely be getting my money back

Same as Charter
We bought this router for the range and the way it would disperse the signals through all the devices that were connected. Also the range of the Nighthawk is supposed to be almost 2-3 times bigger than the router from Charter. So far it hasn’t changed from Charter. Our cell phones doesn’t even download feeds when we are on wifi. We are in the fence about this product and will most likely be returning this product.

The single sheet diagram identifying parts of the router would be helpful if it stated the WiFi item was a switch that has to be turned on and lit for the antennas/WiFi to operate. Many cheaper routers do not have an antenna on/off switch so this could be new to many users.

My Problem is Fixed
For forever I had weirdly bad internet even after paying the ISP extra for higher speeds. Oddly enough, researching the issue did not tell me it was the router I had, that was until a hired tech told us that this might be the issue. He recommended Netgear so I gave it a try. We have been unlucky in the past with certain tech stuff but my fears were assuaged as it was plug and play straight away and the issue was resolved, I am quite satisfied. I am still in my first month with the product but so far it is great and I hope it continues to perform well into the future.

OK overall, but...
The setup was easy and uneventful. I have a good signal throughout the house. But there was a glitch on a third day: the router got unresponsive overnight. It came back to senses after I rebooted the device.

Nighthawk review
This routers performance far exceeds any other router I have had to date. Connective range is also outstanding seeming to exceed the range listed in the description of the box. Thirdly, the router design looks very modern and sleek. I have always heard about the Nighthawk routers and now my only regret is that I didn’t buy one sooner.

An excellent WiFi solution
I wanted to replace my Fios wireless with WiFi 6. I started with Netgear RAX15, then with Netgear WiFi 6 Mesh Extender, and now I am using Netgear RAX50. I have been getting about 300 Mbps on my 200 Mbps internet only service from Fios. My TV viewing is from video streaming for multiple TVs, and many devices like doorbell, automobiles, garage door openers, oven, and most of all smartphones and personal computers anywhere in my 3200 square feet home. So far, no problems and it works like a charm for all my devices. I see no need to purchase a higher rate of internet service from Fios.

So far much better than our old router but still experiencing some lag which I’m not certain is the router’s fault as just changing routers has already improved out speed. I like having parental controls right in the app versus using a separate app for that. Being able to test our upload

I replace my internet providers router with the Netgear Nighthawk. With the providers router the best I could get intermittently was 250mbs to our second floor. I installed the Nighthawk and was about to get and maintain 450mbs to our second floor. No comparison it is well worth the money. Also I no longer have to pay monthly router rental.

Finally got a new router
After 5 years of having a nighthawk router I decided to upgrade. My older nighthawk went to my parents place where it works perfectly still. My new router for my place immediately made my connection and ping much faster. I’ll never get anything but a nighthawk!

Awesome!!!
After having so much issues with internet on my house, and changing providers, using mesh systems, I did a good research and found this router as a possible solution. I was astonished by the job this router does. Now my cameras, doorbell, alarm, and all my devices have. The house has the right connection because the router will choose the best option for each device and my PS5 is flying now. Thanks.

Easy set up
The router was easy to set up and speed increased from 80mbps to 114mbps. I had trouble connecting Chromecast to router, so I called technical support. The call was answered by a real person who walked me through setting up a guest network to allow Chromecast access to wi-fi.

Super fast wifi router at an affordable rate
I was a bit skeptical when i bought this router, as i had a very bad experience on my previous two routers to get the speed that i paid my service provider. RAX50 gave the exact speed that i subscribed for consistently. Also the coverage range is excellent. I was able to connect devices from my parking lot.

New router
Easy to install new router needed for added security for a home network. Cable service provides modem-router but question security of system and also ability of system to reach all areas in and outside the house (patio, garage, etc.. This system did improve connectivity in these areas above the modem-router device and it still allows guests to use the cable network and not have to inadvertently affect the home network.

Wide range top speed router
Is capable of providing fast WiFi to the second floor of the house. I used to use a WiFi extender due to poor coverage upstairs. In addition, also allows me to access the Internet on the top speed that I pay my internet provider for.

Needed to upgrade from my old router to get WiFi coverage to my backyard and patio. The Netgear Nighthawk AX6 (RAX50) solved the problem. Very easy setup and performance has been great.

Nice upgrade from the R7000
I have the RAX50 model. I upgraded from the R7000 router which is actually a pretty good router. The R7000 provided good coverage on my 1700 sq ft home and I had no pressing need to upgrade. I just wanted to upgrade to the newer wifi 6 standard. And get better coverage in the back patio. I used the Nighthawk app to set up the new router. Just had a couple of minor hiccups. But eventually, all my previous settings from the R7000 transferred over to the new RAX50. I have been using the new router for a couple of weeks and so far it works great. The coverage and bandwidth have increased nicely in every room. I even attached a portable WD USB hard drive hosting videos to the readyshare port. It streams videos to all my four TVs just fine. I also make use of the ethernet ports to connect to an older non-wireless printer and my Mac. So far after a couple of weeks of use, I can attest the Netgear RAX50 is a good router. Time will tell on the long-term reliability. (My older R7000 works as good as new.) Highly recommended.

Pretty Good
I purchased this router after upgrading my home internet to gigabit fiber. It works pretty well, but doesn’t deliver the full gigabit speed. There is a setting within the router that limits the speed to what it thinks your device needs. Luckily, you can turn this off.
I’ve not experienced any drops or random cutouts. It’s good for what you paid.

Powerful device, easy self setup
It seems Netgear has really thought things through with this device. As a non-IT professional, I was able to setup the Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream WiFi 6 Router (RAX50) myself. Not only was I able to set it up, I was also able to set up a guest network for temp users visiting for the day or the weekend. The iPhone/smartphone app makes it a breeze to do the initial setup and manage the router functions on an ongoing basis.
Handling the unit, it feels solid, and visually, it looks like it was designed by those that designed the military's stealth fighter jets.
Since installing the Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream WiFi 6 Router (RAX50), there are no more wifi deadspots in our home and even sitting outside on our back deck, we still get a great wifi signal.
Netgear hit a homerun with the Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream WiFi 6 Router (RAX50). I like it so much, I'm going to order one for my office!

The router works fine and I am able to connect with 5G throughout my home. I had problems with the Nighthawk App needing a QR code. My RAX50 didn’t have one and the app didn’t allow me to manually enter the information. A request to Netgear did not produce a QR code from them either. Why they cannot they provide a simple QR for their products when it is required by their App; I don’t know.

Router is great but the App sucks
I love the router and the speed provides but the IOS app sucks. It’s missing a ton of features that this router provides. Also I feel like I am getting forced to buy or subscribe for the security feature. Turning off that feature errors out no matter what I try

Great Router at a Great Price
This router was on sale on Amazon and we gave it a try. Our fiber internet runs at an advertised 1 gig speed and I was able to speed test the wifi at 950 meg up and down. Amazing! I recommend this router for people who have a fiber modem. It was plug and connect and you can use the Netgear app for easy setting up further.

The AX6 6-Stream Exceeded Expectations!
The family has owned Netgear routers over many years upgrading them as the technology improved. Needless to say this router is the best one We have owed offering improved security, easy installation, greater coverage, wonderful app interface, and monitoring of devices connecting to it. Netgear has upgrades for protection of individual devices with products that compete with the leading edge protection software. You can customize to the degree that you feel most comfortable, at home and away. After installing the router, the protection that has a trial period picked up malware on two devices that the devices themselves did not detect. That confirmed my purchase, and along with my experience with Netgear, I can continue to use the internet with confidence and know that I have the best product available to safely navigate as well as protect my family’s investment at home. Did I say I liked it, if I did I meant to say “I love my AX6 6Stream. Thanks Netgear!

Not bad…
The router seems to be doing a good job handling my wired and wireless networks. In fact, a much better job than the one from my ISP. Range on the wireless is great and reaches from end to end in my 2100sqft home. The only place I feel something is lacking is the app. No landscape mode on my iPad Pro?? Lots of “things” to click on but I don’t feel they are adequate explained or called out for purpose and why I’d want to use them. Overall this router is doing an excellent job but I feel let down by the supporting software.

Amazing Router!
The inability to configure our internet service provided router lead me to search for a replacement that could fit our many device needs. Due to the unique aspect of our business - a tech oriented non-profit organization - I also needed a router that could handle many different connections without issue. The Nighthawk AX6 checked off all the boxes, setup was a breeze, configuring the router was easy to meet the needs of the smart systems we operate and I couldn't have asked for a better router!

Stopped working after a week
Set up my router, everything seemed to be working fine but after a week it stopped working. No amount of rebooting made a difference, I switched back to my ancient cisco router and it worked fine (slow, but fine. I suspect that something is wrong with the firmware but couldn't figure out how to connect to the router to update through the app since the router was offline.

I have many devices so it took a while to arrange them all on 2.4ghz or 5.0 ghz. My Apple pieces liked 5.0, the others needed to be on 2.4. My internet light turned red even though it still broadcast just fine. With a little troubleshooting and resetting it was ok. I'm no programmer, so just follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

BAD
I've had several Netgear routers. When I got this one I couldn't get it going. I didn't have a QR sticker to use auto setup so I called support. Turns out you can't use a Netgear product unless you buy a support agreement for $250 and when that expires it will stop working until you buy more. The support guy told me that everyone requires a support agreement. Now I am enjoying my new Linksys router and guess what, they don't require my money. They don't disclose they are going to cheat you when you buy from them. Don't buy from them, they're not the same company.

Fast but limited range
I bought this router for our 1 gig internet that my husband and I use to both work from home. By far the fastest internet I’ve ever used and love the extra armor/protection. I live in a 1800 ft 2 story condo and the router is on the 1st floor. My office is on the 2nd floor. The telehealth service home page I am a provider for tests speed at the shift start and reported slow speeds and occasionally my service disconnects. I would expect more for the price and features.

I have to buy one of these things every 3 years or so. My last one died at 2 years a nighthawk. But this one is awesome. Full speeds all though out the house. And now network in the backyard without extender. Wifi 6 is so cool. Thanks, Dad.

A whole new experience
We had an older router that came with our service it was not keeping up with multiple people working from home so a friend of ours recommended nighthawk to us we purchased one and got it installed and it is a world of difference.

Better Routers out there form the money
This took a lot longer to set up than expected. It is not as feature rich as say the TP-Link higher end routers which can be purchased at a cheaper price. The Armor software is practically useless and ended up blocking my VPN devices. I just disabled it and will not buy a subscription. Again, the TP Link security is better and comes with lifetime subscription. It is faster than the older router I replaced but that is about it. The VPN server is much harder to set up than competing brands.

The set up of the NETGEAR Nighthawk AZ5400 was pretty easy. I did have to try three times before it worked successfully, but overall, it took less than 30 minutes with minimal frustration. If you have ever been frustrated with setting up a router, this one is pretty easy. The app didn’t work well, so I had to go online to finish the set up, but otherwise - great!

Before I installed this router our speed test ran at about 278 Mbps. After installing, which was easy using the mobile App, the speed test ran at about 368 Mbps! Very nice improvement! I like that the advanced and more detailed configuration is managed through a web browser interface, and just the basic stuff is in the mobile App.

What happened to simple? My first couple of Netgear routers were simple to set up. I took several tries and a good portion of the day to finally get connectivity but the security wasn't right and wouldn't even let me get into the router to change it. I am not sure where the security step was but I apparently missed it. I will try again when I have time to mess with it.

Couldn't even go 100ft in g mode, free WiFi 6 router from isp was far superior. Tried everything from changing channels, no samba support in ready share final blow. I've always used netgear products and I know better than to deal with their horrid and rude support and this was unsolicited spam, I didn't ask to be contacted. Hours of my time wasted.

Nighthawk AX5400
I have been using this router for a week now. I am very happy with its performance. I used this one to replace an older Linksys that was dropping out and I was also using a couple of wifi extenders for coverage. With this new Nighthawk, it is able to cover my house without the need for the extenders. It has great coverage and speed tests are faster than previous router. Set up was pretty easy using the app. I did have an issue where it was failing to do firmware upgrades but apparently completed it eventually. Software GUI is easy to navigate. You can set up priority connections for each device. I wish they would let you do bandwidth limitations for devices. Overall, very happy with performance.

Received my RAX50 last week and got it installed right away. This replaced an AC1750 from a few years back. I'm noticing a big difference in speed and performance !

NightHawk AX5400
We bought the Netgear NightHawk AX5400 router recently because our old router just wasn't doing the job. Since installing this new router, our speeds have been so great and we've been able to do all the streaming and browsing we want! We can have multiple devices online all at once and the service is still great with no lag. This router reaches throughout our whole home unlike our old router. The NightHawk app allows us to see all the devices currently connected and gives us the ability to block those devices for any given time if needed. The NightHawk app gives you complete remote access from anywhere, you don't have to be in range of the router/at home.
We are loving the NightHawk AX5400!

Setup was a breeze
Setup was a breeze using the iOS app. I thought I was going to have a lot more trouble getting this unit going. I kept the same SSID name and passwords, so pretty much everything reconnected to the new Wi-Fi router without major issues. Speed doubled over my old Apple AirPort Express, and appears only to be throttled by DSL cable modem speeds now. Probably got with a Netgear NetGear Nighthawk Dual-Band AX5400 DSL modem next

Perfect solution for home network
I bought this NETGEAR Nighthawk AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 Router (RAX50) in conjunction with the NETGEAR Nighthawk 2.5Gbps Internet Speed Cable Modem with Voice (CM2050V). The CM2050V does not have an internal Wi-Fi router, which is what I desired. In the future, I did not want to be forced to upgrade both modem and Wi-Fi/router functions when one or other became outdated or defective.
In the process of installing the modem and router, I installed a NETGEAR 24 Port Gigabit Switch (JGS524v2). I retraced and tested all my Cat6E wired ports throughout the house. I plugged in my patch cables, and I was off and running. Except for a few older pieces of hardware running at 10/100, 96% of the LAN was running at 1 Gig speed. First thing, I logged into the modem and router, seamlessly, and with ease, changed the login passwords, and tweaked a few settings. Most of the factory settings were spot on for Xfinity ISP service.
For my outside, wrap-around porch area, I added a NETGEAR Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Dual Band Multi-Gig Access Point (WAX620). The access point integrated flawlessly as well. I now have incredible LAN speeds both inside and outside.
I am recently retired and not an IT professional. If you can read and follow the directions, you can install these products without a problem.

Easiest router to setup!
I have worked in IT for over 20 years. This was the easiest Wifi router to setup I've ever used. It is full of great features. The app on the phone is a great feature that allows me to view the status of the device and monitor and manage all the connected devices. One of the biggest differences I noticed was the speed of triggering connected smart plugs/lights. I have several lights that work via Alexa. My old wi-fi router had a delay that could take several seconds to turn on/off a smart plug or light. With the new Nighthawk, the lights turn on/off almost instantly. Very pleased with the NetGear Nighthawk AX5400.

GET THIS ROUTER!
I recently started a work from home job and needed a reliable connection. I live in a rural area, so thought that my connection issues were related to that. I have a friend that works in IT and recommended for me to get a new router, specifically the NETGEAR Nighthawk AX5400. I am used to dropping connection at least once a day, but I have not dropped my connection a single time since switching to this router, and my speeds are faster than ever! Definitely would recommend!

I do not like the fact I cannot set it up in bridge mode (or disable the NAT) so that my firewall can see the traffic from the devices behind it. I have crawled the settings, but see no where I can I configure this. There is no logging or anything either that I could leverage to achieve visibility, it just NATs to the external IP of the NightHawk.
I really wish they’d add the ability to disable NAT, or bridge the connection, so the upstream firewall can scan the hosts traffic and report the connection flows.

WOW
Installing the Nighthawk has been the easiest installation I've ever done. Adding all my devices was just as easy. I am no IT guru but, I felt like one while installing this router. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Router, Easy Setup, Great Price
After a lot of thorough research on routers, I decided to go with the Netgear Nighthawk RAX50 because it fit perfectly in line with my needs. The mobile app provides a streamlined, very easy way to setup the router that can be done in less than 10 minutes. It comes with an abundant amount of features such as the built-in online protection which is great and also gives a sense of comfort. The performance the router delivers is VERY fast and reliable and long gone are the day of my internet speeds being throttled by my old router. Compact, wall-mountable, solid features, great range, amazing speeds, reliable performance makes me very content with the purchase and it's been a very pleasant experience overall.

Solid, Stable, Consistent
The Nighthawk AX6 provides consistently strong, reliable signal and is very easy to setup. The only reason it doesn't get five stars from me is because it needs to be managed via phone app, and the app itself is configured to provide an overwhelming number of push notifications by default. But those settings can be changed on the fly.

So far so good
I had bought RAX50 a year and a half ago because I thought my RAX80 was bad. At the time I could not find another RAX80 so I bought the RAX50. This router is great for a mid size house with average usage. I have inlaws always streaming videos and two young adult kids always gaming and an extra large amount of devices. Well my Rax80 finally died after receiving a large power surge through the house. The RAX50 isa great router just is at its limit at my house, therefore only 4 stars and I'll have to go up another level soon. Otherwise my wife can't work at home.

Works with CM2000 but not CM600
The instructions in the app were clear enough and easy to follow, but I first installed my new AX6 (RAX50) router with my existing Netgear CM600 cable modem and had major issues--couldn't get a wireless connection on any of several devices. This was very frustrating. Replaced the CM600 with a Netgear Nighthawk CM2000 cable modem and everything worked fine the first time.

Flawless Operation
Received my router a couple weeks ago, it has been working flawlessly. Some others mentioned difficult setup but I used the Nighthawk app for android and the setup was a breeze. Also, I added a Nighthawk extender as well and all through the app with zero difficulties. I enjoy the great security notifications for any device that connects to my wifi. I also like that I was able to set up a guest network. Overall, this router gives me a lot of control over my system and I would highly recommend.

Great Wi-Fi 6 Router
I purchased the Netgear RAX50 to replace another brand AC2300 router (2 years old) which seemed to be losing it ability to fully provide the Internet download speed that my ISP was now providing. This problem was confirmed by a technician from my ISP who came out to diagnose the issue: the AC2300 router was the bottleneck. The Netgear RAX50 worked very well to deliver the full Internet speed that my ISP was providing to me plus I got a Wi-Fi 6 technology upgrade to boot. Setup was fairly easy. So far, it is working well.

Except that one would hit the garage. I guess that sells more mesh systems by stating a higher range than its capable of. Hmm. Well at least I have internet. Thanks Netgear.

RAX50 Router is decent but some quirks!
Bought this router at the beginning of 2022 after reviewing 25 other routers. I've been in the IT business for 30+ years and needed an ultra-reliable solution for my business network without having to migrate over to NOC level aspect. The cost for this router was comparable to other high end routers. I also purchased the CM2000 Modem and discarded my ISP's equipment due to their unreliable functionality.
Unpacking and setup was very simple and all equipment appeared to be brand new with easy instructions to get started. Changing the default login info was effortless and I was able to configure the entire process with no problems. Updating the firmware was also unproblematic and the phone app installation when well too.
Several months after the initial installation, I had some issues with the phone app. The app would not sort the list of devices connected and the reset function would not work on the app. Shortly thereafter, the phone app was updated and everything worked fine again.
A couple more months later, I ran into a few new issues with the router. First, I cannot change the QOS function. If I try to define my internet bandwidth - the router interface does not save the setting and reverts back to the "SpeedTest" setting. Second, the "Security" says it is not enabled on the Home page of the router after logging in. Even though there is security setup on the routher and the phone app, it still says that it is "Not Enabled."
Lasty, I am unable to turn OFF the "WPS" function and button on the router. The "LED Control Settings" just turn off the lights on the actual router device. This is not what I need. The WPS button can still be pushed and a device can be connected.
The "WPS Wizard" get to a point when it asks to input a "PIN Number" if chosen not to use the recommended "Push Button" option. If a 4-8 digit PIN is not entered, there is an error requesting that a PIN be entered. And at this stage, nothing more can be done to disable the WPS feature on the router.
So, minus the listed issues; it is a good router but I think I am going to go with the NOC network option and hopefully there will be no feature holes or discrepancies.

Happy with purchase
Live in a small ranch and my 10 year old router just wasn't doing it anymore. Did some research online and this one got good reviews. Good thing I did because there was no one to help me at Best Buy. Followed the instructions after downloading app but when router still couldn't be found needed to do the usual unplug and replug modem and router. Works great! Like the app too. Not the most attractive thing so for now I have it hidden in a cabinet until I get some suitable shelves and hide it behind a plant. Overall happy with purchase.
