So far so good
Really hate that the range isn’t that great on it. Having to purchase another 450$ add on to get it to work how I want. Other than that, it seems pretty solid. Not much of an upgrade over the nighthawk mesh system I had before though.

I replaced a Netgear Router of over 4 years old still going strong. I wanted something new just in case it went down due to age, and as a backup option. This new router is a better product than the last in its features, and I love it! All Netgear products have proven to me that they are superior. Netgear is my go to from now on!

Replacing a faithful router
I've had a Net Gear 500 system for over 6 years until the other morning it finally quit. great system so I went to the website to find a replacement that was up to date and would. My pick was the Axe 11000, extremely glad I did! My wife logged in after I set it up and immediately noticed the performance difference! The modem is extremely fast and versatile! Well worth the expense and shipping was free. check it out!!

Great Router, Powerful Signal
We just had to upgrade our router again and went with the Netgear Nighthawk. This router is awesome! We can cover the whole house and add on all the devices we need, which we didn't have with our previous router. Set up was super simple and the app lets me know anything and everything I need to about our network. For the price and the number of devices you can connect, not to mention the square foot coverage it has, this is a great router for us!

The router is fantastic. We had been having trouble with our previous router, wondering at first if we just had slow internet. It turns out it was just the router. It couldn't handle so many devices connected to it. When we upgraded to this one, we noticed the difference immediately. The internet doesn't cut out on any of the devices and it's exponentially faster.

Great Router
This is an easy router to setup. The problem that I had was the 6G band and Apple products don’t get along too well. You get limited connectivity with it. Using smart connect the devices don’t want to connect to the 6G network by themselves, they connect to the 5G network. So beware with Apple products. This router is a great router otherwise.

do u have gig internet and want fast wifi? stay away from this
Owned the RAXE500 for almost 3 years now, and it worked well with slower internet speeds (DSL - 50Mb down/20Mb up); running DHCP, ~20 wifi devices and a handful of wired devices. once I upgraded to fiber (1Gb down/1Gb up), this router could not keep up! Both wifi and wired devices experienced similar issues, showed connectivity to network but unable to send or receive data; reboot this router, and it would be ok for about 10-12 days, then same problem over and over again.
In the end, I had to split up the load by incorporating a separate WAP. The RAXE500 wifi has been turned off, so it only handles DHCP and routing now; 160day uptime and counting.

Insane Performance
Upgrading from the router that the company gave us when we signed up for fiber. I barely would get a strong signal downstairs. Switching to the nighthawk the speeds and signal strength and insane. Even in our detached garage I get a full signal which is phenomenal. Best router I’ve ever used hands down. It’s very easy to setup through the app etc…

Good not Great
the netgear was pretty easy to set up. However, I got this one to take care of extra traffic with kids and grand kids and because we cut the cable and are now using youtube tv and other streaming services. It has not fixed the youtube tv buffering or slow start we had with our old router (also netgear). so, this is a disappointment. Also, I got this one to improve our outside security cameras, but it seems no better than what we had. In fact are farthest camera has less wifi strength than with old router. I am looking to see if there is a setting that can improve that or do I need an extender(which I was hoping this moel would help us avoid)

The Solution to my Mesh Nightmare!
I'd been trying to use Google Home/Mesh networking for months and it would constantly lose connection randomly, despite the points at one time being good and not moving. I'd have to constantly mess around with them when this happened and try moving them closer, which was such a nightmare. Now, I have this one router in the conference room where my main point was, and it provides better connection in my office than when I had two other google home devices nearby (including one in my office.) So glad I found this.

This router is outstanding in every respect. I live in a large house and its wide area coverage handles it all. Great security, power and speed round out the attributes of one of the very best wifi routers on the market. Outstanding streaming qualities also, on a variety of devices. It’s definitely worth buying in this day and age in which we live.

This router is a BEAST! It’s sending excellent coverage all over my three-story house. It connected seamlessly with my Nighthawk CM1200 cable modem. My wife works from home and is constantly on video meetings so this router is handling that and all other active devices at the same time with ease. We also love the Netgear Armor service which protects all of our devices on the network with defense at the router level itself. Very cool. Very fast!

RAXE500 is a solid performer
I purchased my router directly from Netgear. It was delivered in three days and within a few dollars as other supply chains (but with only a 30 day Armor trial instead of the 360 day trial that Netgear direct provided). Installation, firmware and smartphone app were all easy and worked as expected. Speed, coverage and reliable connectivity are all rated as excellent. The only item I would grade as average is that the Traffic Meter and the logs are very basic.

This is my 2nd Nighthawk router since 2014. These things last and work really well. The only thing I was disappointed in is the limited range of wifi 6E but that's not the routers fault. It's just how radio works. Otherwise it was installed easily with the nighthawk app and giving me the fastest wifi and Ethernet speed I've seen yet.

Powerful and Simplistic to install.
I previously owned a Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri Band. It was perfect for my requirements 4-5 years ago, but now with the increase of devices I needed, it started to put a strain on it.
so I retired it and upgraded to the AXE11000 which is faster and also handles the newer WiFi 6 which most providers are switching to.
As with the AC3200, the AXE11000 was simple to install and setup all of the previous MAC addresses of my devices plus a few more. I believe the AXE11000 can handle up to 60 devices which is more that I need. It is also much faster that on the data rates than my previous router which is need for my grandson's and granddaughter's gaming addition LOL.
Overall, I give this a 5 star.
Regards, one happy granddad.

Impressive Home Router
When my internet, rated at 300 mb started acting very sluggish I called my provider for help. A review of my service showed 330 mb out of the modem and 60 mb out of the router. Time for a change. With our substantial monthly investment for internet, why was I “cheating” out on my router? Yes, it was kind of pricey for home , but the Nighthawk AXE11000 is quite a piece of equipment that should handle anything a home user can throw at it. Buy it and don’t look back!

Gamechanger
The NETGEAR Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router AXE11000 has far exceeded my expectations, from when I opened it to setting it up. Not only does its sleek design add a touch of elegance to my workspace, but it also hints at the impressive performance that lies within.
Setting up this router was incredibly easy, thanks to the user-friendly Nighthawk app. It guided me through a seamless process that had my network operational in just minutes. As someone who has struggled with complex router configurations in the past, I greatly appreciate NETGEAR's approach to making things simple and intuitive.
In terms of performance, the AXE11000 is truly remarkable. With its WiFi 6E capability, all my devices now experience lightning-fast speeds and minimal interference or congestion due to its tri-band setup—even with multiple tech-savvy teenagers constantly using bandwidth-intensive activities like online gaming and streaming high-resolution videos in 4K. Thanks to this exceptional router, these activities now run smoothly without any interruptions or disruptions.
The level of coverage is truly impressive. I've noticed a significant reduction in areas with weak signals, and even when I'm at the furthest distance from the router, the signal strength remains consistently strong. It's evident that NETGEAR has made substantial investments in advanced antennas and powerful amplifiers to ensure maximum reach and performance.
When it comes to security, the RAXE500 excels as well. With its integration of NETGEAR Armor powered by Bitdefender, I feel confident knowing that all my devices are fully protected against various cyber threats lurking in today's digital world.
If there is any downside worth mentioning, it would be its slightly higher price point. However, given the remarkable features and stability it offers, especially for homes requiring high connectivity demands, I believe it proves itself a worthwhile investment.
In summary, the NETGEAR Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router AXE11000 is an impressive addition to any household network. It offers high-speed connectivity, extensive coverage, and robust security features—all without sacrificing performance. I highly recommend this product for anyone seeking to enhance their home internet experience and unlock its full potential.

I have this connected to a CAX80 using the 2.5gb port and combined with a AX210NGW wireless card, I can connect to the RAXE500 from my desktop with a 2162/2140 (Mbps) link speed. This is allowing my WiFi to keep up with my ethernet network even with 30+ devices connected. 6Ghz band works great too! I'm the only one in the neighborhood on it!

Unbelievably fast! Nothing compares!
Disclosure: I received this product from Netgear for free as part of their beta testing program. I am not being paid for this review in any way and the following are my unbiased opinions of the device
If you've made it to the product page for this router, you probably already know this is currently (April 1 2021) the fastest wifi router that Netgear manufactures. BUT, did you also know that aside from the fastest wifi, this router also supports multi-gig internet as well as one multi-gig LAN port?
Compared to my last setup which was a Netgear Orbi RBR50, the wifi speed is unbelievable. On my iPhone 12 Pro, this is the first time I've ever actually seen the full 400 Mbps of download speed over the wifi. From a hardware perspective, I believe this is the best money can buy.
At the same time, this is overkill for lots of people, including me. I probably wouldn't have bought it for myself given the price had I not received the beta unit. But, the great thing is, if you purchase this router, you're all set for at least 5 years. The cutting edge technology in this device isn't going anywhere any time soon.
Overall, this is the best router I have ever had on my home network. From wifi, to the supported LAN speeds, you can't go wrong if you decide to purchase this router.

Works well in 3-story smart home
After I moved into a 3-story, 2,300 sq. ft. home - my old router was struggling with range, and with the addition of HomeKit + a dozen smart home devices including 1080p live-streaming / uploading security cameras and WFH zoom calls with two people, the struggle was real. Was glad to get this router with 6e, the biggest wifi innovation in a decade+; I feel sufficiently future-proofed, forgot about the need for a router (which is great, my smart home devices stay well-connected to HomeKit, and everything runs smooth with a slightly boosted range. Any larger of a home, I would have gone for a mesh system.
FYI, I have 30mbps down / 4 up cable internet (I know, slow) - but it handles all of our needs including streaming 1080p on 4 devices simultaneously, and 16-20 devices connected including Chromecast, Apple TV, Fire TV, 2 smart TVs, laundry machine, multiple light bulbs and switches, security system, 2 cameras, thermostat, phones, homepod, apple watch, and 2-3 computers.

Exceptional WiFi Coverage
While this router does offer multi Gig WiFi and ethernet, not many of us have ISP's or hardware that support that. What this router does real well is cover a large area with strong signals on both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. It also handles a lot of devices. I have a 4,000 Sq Ft home and 20 devices. It handles them easily.

Fantastic router!
I've been using the RAXE500 in place of my Orbi and have come away very impressed with its performance, speed and overall reliability. I wasn't expecting the signal to be on par with the Orbi, as it is a mesh system, but the overall signal is fantastic for a single standalone router. I am easily getting my full speeds from my ISP over Wi-Fi, all around my house without any issues. If you're looking to take advantage of your gigabit internet and want a powerful and future proofed solution, this is the router for you.

Literally doubled my wifi speeds
Just received today and ran several speed test from different areas of the house before install. I have paid for gig download speeds and only been able to attain half of that at best. After the super fast and easy install via the Nighthawk app, I ran the same tests again. I am now achieving the 1gb download via WiFi and my signal range has literally doubled. This is a game changer modem that looks to be future proof for some time to come.

Incredible!
This is my 2nd Nighthawk. Have a ton more devices than in the past due to working from home now and kids getting older. Noticed significant slowing and wanted my fast internet back. Setup was as easy as other nighthawk. Speeds are back and faster than even before. Well worth the upgrade.

No time machine support, restarts on it's own
They dropped AFP support and haven't added SMB support for TimeMachine. So there's no chance to setup TimeMachine by using this device.
The router restarts too often, especially during file transfers.
No option for auto channel for 5ghz.
Promoted everywhere app for iPhone has very few options to control router

Already Returned it
Worked fine for like a day. I was using it in access point mode and it lost internet once and came back, this was per the logs, strike one. Strike two, the netgear was showing all bands active and internet connected yet I hand no internet on any wireless devices until I power cycled the netgear, opened a support case with no resolution. Strike three, the netgear did the same thing I just described the next day, had to power cycle it. Submitted the RMA return and dropped it off at FedEx after only having it three days. I’m not wasting my time troubleshooting a $600 access point. I read there are several complaints on the two previous WiFi 6 models before this one. Not worth the money of hassle. Thank God I could still return it.

Great Router!!!!!!
I very happy with my purchase; this router was worth every dollar I spent on it. With my family mainly working from home, we no longer lose internet connection with several live video conferences going on at one time. And my wireless internet connection is up and running strong with no downtime due to a router issue. Thank you, Netgear!

Works Great
The RAXE500 is really not that different from the RAX80/RAX200 routers which I use to own, but the new WiFi 6E (6Ghz) is really something. about 100Mbps faster than the 5Ghz and about 3x faster than the 2.4Ghz. My Samsung S21 Ultra is the only device that is compatible with the new 6E so can't really compare how the connection handles with multiple devices connected to the 6Ghz. So once more devices are compatible with it such as Laptops and NICs for PC then I can truly test it and see if really makes a difference but for now I'm happy with it and would recommend this to anyone looking to have a future proof router. There is a similar router (RAX200) for $549.99 but doesn't have the 6Ghz connection so might as well spend that extra $50 to future proof your home or office building for when the time comes when the new WiFi 6E becomes the new standard connection for devices. WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 are still gonna be around for awhile possibly another 5 years before they become outdated and WiFi 6E becomes the new norm.

A stable router
Under firmware 1.0.0.52, this router has been stable for family use. It is fast and it does not overheat. We tested wifi 6E in OWE mode and we are getting 1922 Mbps/1922 Mpbs 10 feet away from the router. The other PC which is 20 ft and 2 walls away is also getting the same speed 1922 Mbps up/down. Still, I think Netgear can tweak more to make it more stable for wifi 6E. After rebooting the router, 2.4ghz/5ghz wifi signal comes up immediately, wifi 6E takes a minute or 2 to come up to broadcast. For gaming and video streaming, this is a good router.

First, I received the beta version of this NETGEAR product for free. That being said, this has been an awesome experience. The router alone has doubled the speed of my previous router and love the fact that it has a fan built in to keep it cool. WiFi 6E is awesome and love to see speeds measured in gigabits for speed tests. This is a great router and you will be able to use this for many years. 100% worth the investment

The router is not worth the price. It continuously drops internet connections. The netgear customer service is awful! Speaking to someone, if you are lucky, requires at least a 45 minute wait only to be put on hold again because the representative cannot assist with the Nighthawk router. The representatives have strong accents that make it difficult to understand them. After multiple attempts to resolve the slow and inconsistent internet connection, the problem remains. A terrible device.

New product and it was awesome!
Purchased the item through Amazon, bought it new and not used or semi used… setup was pretty easy… just hook it up like they says. Do a few custom adjustments. Relink the rest of the hubs through the house using all the same profile and bang! Everything back online within 15min of setup. I would like to agree w some comments on the Armor sw… I officially decided not to setup since I have a firewall for my house already. So without it the setup was super easy like I said. Did a few customization and did go crazy on it like others. And everything work like a charm. The router automatically did the firmware update immediately after starting up so that help me going to do it manually. So wonderful product. The speed is great and if you don’t have wifi6 compatible it is ok… you are basically future proofing your network since the next gen of products will be moving that direction. Good job Netgear on another wonderful product. Happy to have purchased it to upgrade my x7000 series.

When devices are connected, speeds are blazing. However, being in a house with 10 smart/connected devices some phase in and out of the connection. I’m also questioning the accuracy of the 2500 square foot range, the lot that my house is on is smaller than that yet a few of our connected devices further away from the router get poor signal.

Great Router but has a major flaw
I am running all 3 bands. 5G band constantly drops out with 2.4G and 6G bands running with no issues. I have to reset the router for 5G connection to come back. I am hoping this gets fixed with a SW update from Netgear.. Until then 3/5 since most of my devices are still 5G and will take some time going over to the new 6G band.

Some troubles but, once you get passed them....
I bought this a little over a month and some weeks. The first week worked flawlessly. Once I dealt with Xfinity to add my new device. Anyone not familiar with Xfinity, they don't provide much assistance unless you get a modem/router through them. So back up your wifi settings at least and save it on a USB or even your HD. Then once uploaded to your new router keep it off your computer. Since I've dealt with several associates that doesn't know what settings to choose for ip address, etc. Just changed the password for 2.4, 5 ghz. I disabled 6 ghz band since I have no need for that since I only have 100 mbps. The next week, it was dropping connection like nobody's business. I thought it was an outage with xfinity. I noticed that my speed for upload and download was missing and I didn't see they posted my new modem. It had a question mark or left blank. I told them about this and they told me to power cycle, several times both on router and modem. Nothing, after several reps, they discounted my internet by $10 for a month and offered a tech to resolve my issue. We'll, tech kind of resolved the issue with frequent dropped connection, refuses connection, not connected to the internet. It came back a few days after. This is what I noticed. My logs shows ack scan, and numerous DDOS and DOS. People said it's false positives, but, not all of it was. I've read some people disabling their port scan and DOS protection and that it stopped. Don't do it.
Also, I had the trial version of amor security (through netgear app) and there is an issue that's not resolved with netgear app. How do I know this,, cause several times I monitored how settings were changed on my ssid names. It defaulted to netgear00 netgear00 5g, and it was enabled on to show networks even when i changed my passwords and changed my login several times. I noticed there were so many issues. Ranging from a computer (really old 8-10 years old) probably got hacked into) security updates stopped long time ago, a phone that is old also has been hacked into since my family member said when the phone went hay wired by clicking on things, closing apps, and so many things. I've read to eliminate those devices off your network. Perhaps even the TV might have been compromised. I wanted to make sure all ends were cut off to prevent people from getting into our router. I blocked unwanted devices that showed up under network sharing. A TV, printer, and a ralink machine which I wasn't sure what it was. It didn't belong to me, so I blocked them out. Someone changed my ID for my computer on netgear and put my real name so something is going on. I installed Bitdefender and found my laptop and several devices OS were altered. I updated my windows to the latest security patches. One by one, the problems were going away. I also had Xfinity increased my speed from 100 to 200 mbps and that was another issue and they blamed that it didn't changed speeds cause I have a router outside of xfinity and to contact the manufacturer. So what I did was to hard wire ethernet connection directly to my modem itself
In order for me to perform this, I turned the modem off for a minute and when it turned on, reconnected the cable and ethernet. I did a speed test and it didn't changed and I called Xfinity and told them about this. From then, one associate sent a bunch of test to my modem. The only associate who got it right. He ran through a series of rebooting my modem, asking to see what lights showed up, and after he was done with the test and reboots, I did another speed test and it worked!!! Obviously it was something in their system that was now sending the correct speed. Since I could get over 236 mbps on that test. My conclusion, out of the box, it's not ready to go. There are settings that you need to disable and some you have to enable. If you have frequent dropped connections, refused connections, can't connect to internet
Hide your ssid, change your passwords and make them very complicated. Try not to use the nighthawk app as there is something that's allowing your ssid to be showing. I finally fine tuned the router and now zero dropped connections and I've also secured my connections with Bitdefender. It all helped. Monitor your devices from time to time, change your ip login for your router within a specific range. Read your manual. Update your devices security and be aware if your devices are acting strange. As it might be compromised.

Awful
I have to reboot my router multiple times a day because the wireless signal drops out. Interestingly, the wired signal does not, but I didn’t spending $600+ to solve a tech mystery. Also, their tech support was absolutely awful, condescending, and rude. Finally, I should note that I live in an ~700 sq. ft. apartment and primarily use this within the same room it’s hooked up.

Pretty Good
The RAX500 is fast, no doubt about that. The WiFi 6 works great. There should be more details about the 6GHz not working with Windows until middle of 2021. Overlooking, that it is a pretty good wireless router. However, it does not have nearly the maturity related to gaming as the ASUS ROG line of wireless routers. The link aggregation works, but if you make changes it can break both internal and internet links. Having to pay for security features that are free on other platforms is a bit much. However, I am only looking for a few features and speed, which it delivers.

This is a great product
I bought this and upgraded my modem as well. I previously had a Netgear modem router that I purchased back in 2017. It was a great product for its time. I had issues with it dropping connection into the rooms. It's in the living room so, it has a hard time reaching into the rooms. Not to mention that my internet speed was about 40 mbps or less. Now that I upgraded to this wifi router and the latest modem also from netgear. It connects really fast. I know this sounds silly but, I appreciate having an on/off switch in the back of both the modem and router. As my previous modem router didn't have one and you had to unplug it from the cord or the outlet. So it was so annoying having to power cycle it every few days to a week depending on how much use we get out of it. Now, all I need to do is power the modem and router both off if we leave the house (since we don't have smart cameras or any monitoring devices and turn it back on when we're at our home.
On my phone and my computer, it's faster to connect to wifi. While other times, it would take an average of 5-15 seconds to connect. Now it's within 1-3 seconds to connect. That's a huge improvement. Another thing is, it allows you to connect more devices and I could see who is on my network and as well as how good of a signal that each device is receiving. My laptop and phone have been getting an average speed of 110-119 mbps part of this is because it has more channels, this wifi router is blazing fast. Mind you, I didn't upgrade to wifi 6 because I've read news about the government allowing people to connect to 6e which is an improvement over 6. So I skipped over and waited until this got released. Based on all the reviews I received and having experienced with Netgear products in the past. I knew this was it. I'm also relieved that newer devices will be added to 6 ghz over 6 or 2.5 ghz. I'm sure I'll get a lot of good use out of this. The only thing that I'm having a little trouble with is, if I enable both 2.5 and 5 ghz on, both ipad and mini ipad can't connect to my network. When I disable 5 ghz, it connected just fine. Did anyone notice or know a fix for this? Other than that, no complaint

High end router that has full of potential. It has all the features and is blazing fast. The router is sometimes in consistent but hopefully with firmware it improves. Also, it’s a bit ahead of its time so you need to patiently wait for more devices to work on the extra band. Overall I give it a B

Fast and flexible
If you are looking for a future proof router with all the available features, the RAXE500 is the way to go. For me the flexible wired configurations and port aggregations are key features. It worked flawlessly with my SB8200 that requires the use of two ports to get over 1gbps speed. Just a tip to make sure to enable the port aggregation on the modem before trying to activate on the router. Also remember even though the speed is faster on 5/6 ghz if you are trying to go long distance you may need an extender. I was able to place in the center of my house and it works well.

Netgear RAXE500 vs Asus GT-AXE11000
I got both the Asus GT-AXE11000 and the Netgear RAXE500. Netgear has better build quality than the Asus. It feels more sturdy. The antenna design is more robust due to being two pieces holding eight antennas instead of eight individual antennas on the Asus. The Asus antennas feels flimsy. The range is one bar better than the Asus for the 5GHz band from the far side of my 2000 sq ft house going through 3 walls, a door, and clothes hangers. The router is placed on the other side of the house instead of optimally in the center since the modem is placed there. I was getting 213Mbps. When in the same room as the router, I was able to hit 928Mbps out of 940Mbps advertised speed via the 5GHz band. I like that the Netgear has a more simplified interface/options on the router management webpage than the Asus. It is easier to configure. Overall, I would recommend the Netgear router over the Asus because of the build quality, better range, and user friendly features especially with a 10% discount for first time user.

6GHz Non-Functioning Out of the Box
I bought this router exclusively for the 6GHz band, having already owned a WiFi 6 Router without it before. It is non-functioning out of the box and it took almost three hours on the phone with customer support to finally get routed to someone who was willing to help troubleshoot at a meaningful level. Still awaiting a solution on whether it's hardware or software related.
I will edit the review if they replace it with a functioning router or discover why it's broken out of the box and resolve that.

Amazing Speed
We always thought it was our provider why we had the wheel of death and not the speed we had been paying for over 10 years. I started doing some research and realized it was not our service at all but our router that we had. Once we upgraded we have lighting speed and multiple members can stream and no wheel of death. Defiantly worth it if you have homeschooling students, work from home and do video calls, have multiple generations that live in your home and streaming tv all day.

Was Great Until...
Chose this router for the speed and control and are now finding out that the device control isn't working or Netgear is trying to impose their security subscription to access it. We had set a schedule that a particular laptop of our son's couldn't be used during school hours so that we knew he'd use only his Chromebook. Now we're unable to access the device control to remove that schedule or apply any schedule to any device. Attempting to access the "Access Control" causes a refused connection from the router. Trying to get support to resolve this isn't easy either. After your initial 3 months of support, they don't allow access to their support so consumer's, unless they pay for a support contract, are left hung out to dry. I would not recommend this manufacturer due to the potential difficulties that could be experienced and their policies on how they hand them.

Ok consumer grade wifi router
Coming from an Asus Wifi 5 router, I'm impressed with the increased coverage and load balancing. But I have no tools for prioritizing devices, performance metrics, traffic analysis, or any insight into what the "security" features actually do. Also, my personal rig has reduced peak effective download / upload speed compared to my old router. My house has its DMARC in the basement and no on prem ethernet, so my deployment options are limited. If your space matches whatever their design targeted you might receive better results. But for me, I spent prosumer bucks and got a consumer level product so I'm not impressed.

Great Router Upgrade
Recently upgraded from the RAX200 Nighthawk. We moved into a larger home and I instantly saw an improvement especially with the addition of more electronics that required network connectivity. The RAX200 did require us to have range extenders for our upstairs rooms and basement area. So far, extenders have not been needed with the RAXE500. No lag even with 2 active gamers in the household (Summer vacation off to a good start).
Easy setup with the app that took approximately 10-15 minutes.

Almost a 5
The & 5G work great. Really strong signal that is allowing all of our devices to be on at one time, often with 3 or more streaming videos. However, even though it says it is broadcasting in 6G, neither of my new laptops that have Wi-Fi 6 support/hardware, cannot pick up the signal which is less than 10 feet away. It is still stronger than the Nighthawk that it replaced, and I strongly recommend anyone who has a lot of devices hooked up to the Wi-Fi at once, get this router. I have 4 TVs, 7 computers, 5 iPads, 6 cell phones, and two Kindles, and there is plenty of power for them all. Two of us in the housework from home and we each have two computers running 12 hours a day.

So far so good
Recently upgraded from an X10 R9000 Nighthawk Router since this router just approached four years old. This new router is almost twice as much as the old one in terms of cost. But so far, this new router seems to have solved my wifi range issues from the old one. My ring door bell on my front door is now reporting much better network connectivity. I can now remove my Netgear Mesh Extender. It seems that all my 2Ghz devices are doing much better as well (cameras, garage, printer, etc.) For cons, the 5Ghz range seems a little slower compared to the old router. I also had to disable Netgear Armor after a day since I had no idea that Netgear Armor automatically installs. Having Netgear Armor slows down my internet speeds drastically from 900MBS to about 200MBS on my wired connections. I had to reboot the router after disabling Netgear Armor from the Nighthawk app. I was able to print out my old wifi settings from my old router first, and was able to eventually manually configure this new router and it just worked eventually using the web interface initially. Afterwards, I just downloaded and installed my Nighthawk app, and discovered that configuration, firmware updates, etc. can be done as well from the Nighthawk app too. Another con is that I can't seem to connect my MSI Raider laptop to the 6ghz range so far. I'm hoping that future 6E devices can work seamlessly with this new router including hopefully the iPhone 14, etc. The firmware that came with this router seems to be the latest version, so no need to upgrade firmware yet. Overall, I'm satisfied with this new router so far. Here's to another four years hopefully.

After two weeks of using this device. This router could keep the 2.4 & t Ghz network up running properly. Device kept dropping 2.4Ghz WiFi signal. Smart devices count on a properly running 2.4Ghz to operate. This device couldn’t keep the 2.4Ghz WiFi signal transmitting properly, sending the Alexa, smart life and tp link device into a constant failure mode.

Game changer!!
I upgraded from a Linksys EA9500 router. I checked speeds before I switched over (pay for 1 g service, on the 2.4 channel I was getting 17 mps up, 9 down. On the 5 channel 238 up and 29 down. Once I switched and everything being equal, I went to 87 mps up and 17 down, but on the 5 ghz channel I went to 883 up and 63 down!! So much faster than previous router. Did have some issues with initial setup but Netgear was helpful. The issues resolved themselves once they installed the the beta firmware. Since then I have no issues with router. It was expensive but worth it for those who want a fast router! I would definitely recommend!!

Love it now, but it would nice if technicians were better screened in the English language or customers were connected to a technician of the same language.

Ethernet is pointless with these speeds!
I’m so happy with this router!! I am in a 1,000sq/ft apartment so idk how it does with “range” but I get Ethernet level speeds on my wireless everywhere in my place! 1g service (not fiber) and am seeing 900!

AXE11000 wouldn’t work in my environment.
Unfortunately, I could not get the AXE11000 working in my environment. I was replacing an X10 R9000 (AD7200) and the AXE11000 just would not connect with any stability to my wired access points, nor to any of my smart devices wirelessly. I worked with their pro support, which I paid extra to ensure I had faster access. The support was not very helpful and the person, while friendly, had such a heavy accent the communication was hard. I went back to the R9000 and wiped it to factory settings. Once I reconfigured the R9000 all was well on the network again.

Another fantastic Nighthawk
I needed an upgrade from my D7000. This one did more than nicely, I had to do the manual (from my pc) setup instead of their suggested Nighthawk app setup. This is a more than adequate replacement and I suggest it if you can fir it in your budget. The rest of the nighthawk line I’m sure has one for you, especially with the advantage of wifi 6 and Netgear’s aggressive attitude to being the best at network infrastructure.

My network is faster. The only problem was I had a few open ports that needed to be closed. There wasn't any information in the manual on how to close them. Did not get any help from support.
They were suppose to call me back on this issue. Through trail and error I finally figured out how to close the ports.

Well Worth the $!
I upgraded to the Nighthawk from a different gaming router I bought in 2019 (few generations behind). I speed tested Ethernet and WiFi before and after install... was pleased to see an average 20%/40% improvement on download/upload speeds, respectively! Also the signal strength and coverage for all devices across my house improved by quite a few dB.
The router is sexy in its design. The control app is fantastic and simpler to use versus my previous router, where I had to use the old school IP address login via browser approach.
Definitely an elegant router for a more civilized age! ;)

I previously owned a NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S Smart Wi-Fi Router (R8000P) - AC4000 Tri-band. It perfrctly suited my needs 5-6 years ago, but I needed a new router that could handle the internet speed I am paying for. I upgraded to the AXE11000 which can handle the faster internet speed and also have WiFi 6 which most devices are now utilizing..
The AXE11000 was simple to install with the Nighthawk app.

Nice Try.
I returned my unit. Not enough power. I have a 1.2GHz plan with Comcast. @ 12' sitting directly in front of the router (behind an LG C2 65") running 6E, the best I would get was 700 to 800MHz download. I bought an Asus AXE16000, & I get all of that 1.2GHz.
Also, I dislike the fact that the Netgear interface is not as robust as Asus. For instance, I cannot schedule a reboot with Netgear. Cool looking router (Darth Vader's shuttle), substandard performance when in contrast with the AXE16000.

Works great, 2000sq ft with multiple levels, we get at least 300 Mb/s at the farthest point in the house and have over 30 devices. Also link aggregation works great, specially with the cm1200 modem. Love the new set up.

Great so far!!
Replaced my aging Nighthawk R7000 with RAXE500 Netgear Nighthawk. Transition went smoothly. Had to allow networks being blocked via AVG. Took pics of my prior settings re: ports opened for torrents etc.Happy at this point. So far so good.

User friendly, great product.
Over the last few years, I’ve only used Netgear products for routers and modems. They are top of the line and user friendly to set up. The nighthawk app is great. I just wished Neatgear offered a true VPN, rather than a remote access VPN (or maybe I’m misunderstanding)

Extremely fast across all bands
Just purchased a new laptop with wifi 6e support and wanted to upgrade from my Nighthawk X4S router. Now I get wired gig/multi-gig desktop speeds on the laptop! Wasn't expecting to see a dramatic increase on 2.4 and 5ghz bands but am pleasantly surprised to see great improvements there as well. All in all, my IOT devices on 2.4ghz are more stable, 5ghz is great for most regular activities and I can reserve 6ghz for extreme gaming! Configured it for wan aggregation with a Netgear CM1200 cable modem and Xfinity service. Purchased this to get ready for multi-gig rollout later this year or early next. Couldn't be happier, well worth the money!

Perfect for a 3400 sqft home
I was a little nervous to get this for my house. I have been having issues with coverage, its not very large house but I guess having the router on the second floor affects the performance. So when I was shopping for a router with good range and support for multiple devices this one always appeared. I am happy to confirm that the AXE11000 will work perfectly for a 3400 sqft home (2 floors). I get strong signal in every room and even in my back yard. I have multiple devices (20 ) and haven't had any issues at all.

Superb router
I was amazed at the blazing speeds I got out the box from this router. My internet provider ugraded me to 1GB but I was only getting around 650 Mbs near the router. Now I'm getting around 940 Mbs almost anywhere in the house which is aproximately 1600 sq ft. Even in the backyard and alley I still have a fast connection. I would highly recommend this router to anyone.

Words can't describe how happy I am with the performance of this router. No, really, no words can express how truly happy I am with this Netgear router. This is my fifth Netgear router in the last 13 years, and each one I've had is better than the last one. This one is no different. Thanks Netgear for some of the best WiFi router's on the market today. I'd love to win the $500.00 but honestly, I've already won with this router. Kudos to Netgear.

Not worth the money
Bought this router as it’s advertised for up to 3,500 sq/Ft home coverage. We live in a 2 story home with about 2,500 sq/Ft and the signal strength is very weak for devices on the opposite end of the house and other floor. I should have bought a mesh system that utilizes a second router to extend coverage.

I have always loved Netgear products and with two Nighthawk routers purchased back to back (one for mobile and the other for home) they do not disappoint! Netgear has made it incredibly easy to setup the home router and included all of the awesome protective features to ensure home online safety and security. Coming from someone who has a background in IT Support, I can't thank you enough for how awesome this product and its features are and I believe anyone could purchase this equipment and also have it up and running in no time. Great job, Netgear!! Still and always a fan!!

better than I had before
The Nighthawk didn't solve my whole house connectivity issues, but it is much better than I had before. Maybe a mesh system would have better met my connectivity needs. This system is fast and setup was fairly easy. PC setup was easier than using the smartphone app. The device footprint is larger than my last router, which is not desirable. It was time to upgrade, and I'm glad that I bought this product.

Hi performance, lots of tech
I recently purchased a new home and using the router offered by my provider. The speed is half of what I’m paying for which is 1gig. My biggest problem is range, I have security cameras that lose signal and my smart TV’s won’t connect. I wanted to try the Nighthawk out in hopes for better performance and range. I gave it four stars based on what this costs, it’s expensive and you can get the same features for far less. My other gripe is having to pay a yearly subscription for security. I feel like it should include this at the price point it’s at. I admit, I probably didn’t need something this fancy but I do like it. My internet speed wen’t from 470ish to 980ish which is great. The WiFi range improved but I’m going to need a mesh system and don’t blame the router, it’s in a terrible spot. Overall, I like it, it’s just pricy but it works really good.

Good performance but lacks advanced settings
Excellent and stable hardware. Firmware has decent options for the most part but the options available seem to cater more to unskilled beginners. A router of this class should offer extensive customization for the advanced enthusiast users also. Take a page from Asus’s book. All in all I’d give this a recommendation for general use in a high-traffic home network.

Improved our home wifi
Bought this router to deliver better signal to my home office computer. That computer is upstairs from the router and roughly 50 feet away. Signal in my office with my prior router was intermittent (sometimes dropping to the point of no wifi). The signal has improved since installing this router. There is still some signal fluctuation, but I have had no episodes of the signal falling to nothing.

Total upgrade
First of all let me say that for the money, in my opinion netgear modems,routers,switches,etc...are the best you can buy.I had a R9000 and it worked great throughout my home and my electronic devices but I have a workshop about 100 ft from my house and I could not get good signal there. I tried moving the router using a signal extender, even buying another router. None really seemed to help, and it being a metal building I knew I had a problem on my hands. Then I got this router and now my problem is solved. I have strong internet in the workshop now, now I can see instruction videos, use the phone and order part's etc...

Better than expected
After trying to use Eeros 6E network and having extreme connectivity issues, we bought this out of frustration. It was the best decision we ever made. Setup only took five minutes and I’ve never had faster download speeds. I did a speed test on google and hit 720 mb/s with 22 mb/s upload on Comcast’s gig internet. When my old router worked I capped out around 500 mb/s. Also no problems with coverage in a 2800 as foot house. Highly recommend

I have a 2,400 sq foot 2 story house with an attach 2 car garage. I have never had good wifi downstairs an especially out in the garage or back deck. I have always bought netgear routers but always in the 300 dollar range. I have a rainbird irrigation wifo controller in garage that has always had some problems staying connected because of weak wifi. I bit the bullet an bought this router to see if there were really any difference between this an a cheaper router an let me say that i have 100 percent wifi signal everywhere now and no more problems at all. Should have bought the higher end router years ago but i didnt believe it would make much of a difference but i was wrong the router solved all my problems it is a beast.

Great Performance and Easy to Use
I've had this router for about a month after upgrading from my 5-year old XR500. Overall, it's been solid. I get my expected gigabit internet speeds over ethernet and WiFi has been excellent as well.
Setting up through the mobile app is seemingly necessary, but it was a much simpler experience than I had expected. The Nighthawk mobile app is responsive, works without issues, and has a nice UI that is easy to navigate.
My only complaint is that mobile devices such as phones and tablets (in this case, from Apple) don't automatically inherit their device names in the Nighthawk app's device manager (ex. my phone connects as 'Apple' instead of being "Clara's iPhone"). The names can be changed of course, but it can be a hassle after already connecting the family's handful of phones and tablets.

Nothing short of AWESOME
I recently upgraded from another NETGEAR router that I had for many years. The AXE11000 has truly impressed me with its speed and coverage of my entire house. I live in a two story house and this route sits in the corner of my home on the bottom floor. I still receive full signal in the upstairs bedrooms on the opposite side of the house. I highly recommend this router!

Great Router, BUT 6 Ghz band a waste.
The 2.4 & 5 ghz 3500 bands are great coverage at 3500 sq ft, versus my previous Nighthawk R7800 2500 sq ft model.. The 6 Ghz is a joke..... only faster than 5 Ghz if you're in the same room line of sight. FCC supposedly limits the 6 Ghz, so why even bother with it. Signal drops off to nothing quickly. I set "autoconnect" on both 5 & 6 Ghz bands on my Samsung S22+ Ultra phone. I started in 6 Ghz mode and 40 ft away on my same level deck the signal drops completely, so switches to 5 Ghz....... only way it goes back to 6 Ghz is IF the 5 Ghz goes lower. 6 Ghz is a useless Toy that would only be usefull on a conference table in front if you. Love the 5 Ghz reliability, but 6 Ghz is a waste.

Blazing fast with a Lot of bandwith
I was using my standard WiFi router from century link but my movies were buffering all the time and I think I had too many devices on it. I have a total of 20 devices including my nest cams, Honeywell thermo, garage opener, computers and laptops and TVs all run without interruption. After I bought this and hooked my TV up to the 6ghz with all the other devices to 5Ghz. My streaming movies from my friends plex server and streaming services have not needed to buffer anymore and my LG C2 tv’s WiFi disconnecting issues have been fixed. IMO this is the best WiFi router on the market.

This router has been a dismal disappointment on every level. This was the most expensive technology at the time so of course I had high expectations. The amount of money spent with my IT personnel trying to troubleshoot has been ridiculous. I can't even scroll through my emails without an issue, so forget FB or Instagram they just won't refresh, absolutely devastated.

Replaced Router R7000P with AXE11000
I am extremely pleased with the performance of my new router AXE11000. My older router (R7000P) and Nighthawk X4 extender (AC2200) would occasionally drop a device or needed to be rebooted. I decided to continue to use the extender with the AXE11000. My home is 2830 sq ft. and the router is located on the first floor near the front of the house (certainly not in the center of the home (wife didn't want router mixing up her decor). Comcast is my ISP, basic plan 200 Mbps. Throughout the house speed test average 160 - 235 Mbps.

Great 6E Router
Using this router with 500 Mbps internet has been great, generally get just over 500 with rare dips likely related to my ISP. Router was easy to setup for an average user. I use it for streaming, regular internet browsing, and gaming which includes VR gaming. No issues so far with the router, however, as some reviews may note, the additional security packages they offer are on a subscription basis—if you’re looking for the added security measures and parental controls, consider the subscription costs vs other router options. Not an issue for me, however, and I’m happy with the router.

Decent but incomplete
I bought this just over two weeks ago. Once installed it showed 3 different frequencies to connect to, 2.5 ghz, 5ghz, and 6ghz. I put a few devices on the 2.5, most on the 5, and just the tv on the 6. I considered putting phone and others on the 6, but didn’t bother. A few hours later I went to put my game console on the 6, and the 6 wasn’t listed, odd. I then went to put phone on the 6ghz, and it was no longer showing. After initial install it was on every devices list, and as of that moment, doesn’t show anymore at all. I bought it for features that don’t even work.

Great router, very fast.
Added this nighthawk to my existing att supplied combo unit to have more control over my WiFi, and to gain access to 6e 6ghz.
Very happy with how its performance has been.
Range is excellent in a 2800sq ft home. And speed tests have been 700-900 all over my two story home.
Only negatives so far have been. The setup wasn’t great and took a few tries to get working. But getting the att hardware to play nice could have been the issue there.
And the netgear nighthawk app and router gui in general could be abit better. Atad slow to load up. And you have to really dig around to find the more advanced options.
It isn’t organized the best.
But overall very happy with this router. And it has enabled me to fix the issue I was having with my Sony home theater system the ht-a9, as it connects to its speakers on 5ghz and att won’t let you set channels for 5ghz band. So was having channel overlap issues.

Great Router -Very Poor WiFi 6E Performance
Coming from a AX200, this router is a bit better, has a similar interface and easy to set up. Speed is about the same on wired Ethernet and wireless 2G and 5G are good. We have gigabit fiber.
My biggest disappointment is range and signal strength of the 6E band. When compared to 5G, it is simply terrible and no better than 1/2 speed. Sitting in the exact same spot using my 2023 model Razer Blade 14

Hi all
I switched from google Wi-Fi mash recently. Although my google Wi-Fi was good for few years but finally gave up on us. I bought Netgear best of the best Wi-Fi, it was expensive but we need very liable and powerful Wi-Fi. I have more than 40 Wi-Fi equipment to connect. So far it is doing great job and no issue dropping off signals. I gave it 4.5 star out of 5 star. 1/2 star down due to price. It is expensive and hope last is long time.

Router great - app and Armor not
The router performance is great. I don't have Windows 11, so I can't test the 6ghz band. The app is terrible and has Armor started immediately. I don't know anyone who wants that garbage, and considered a competitor because of it. The only way to disable the Armor is from the app as the website to the router has not been programmed for it. It also does not actually update the firmware automatically. It's a great hardware with substandard programming.

Best router
This router does it all. I can stream on all my TV's 4 in the house plus all my tablets and phones. Then I have a bridge in my shop running multiple devices in there. I had a nighthawk 8000. I got 5 years out of it. I hope I get the same performance out of this one. Netgear is the only brand I go with or suggest.

Beware of unreliable connections
I bought this router about 5 months ago as an upgrade to my home network. While it is a fast router and I do see enhanced performance, the network drops multiple times a week and I have to restart the router to get back online quickly. This has been a hassle on more than one occasion when working from home. I've never had this problem with any other router. The low rating is because of this reliability issue.

A Great Performing Router & Investment into the Future of Faster Internet Speeds
The router performs very well after making several adjustments to the router settings which the Netgear customer service team was very helpful in making the setting adjustments. The RAXE500 router was purchased because the top two gateways offered by my ISP (after spending many hours & gateway replacements) provided poor WIFI range and speed especially compared the RAXE500.

Excellent wireless router
Just recently purchased axe11000, had a cable company wireless router prior. I can already see an immediate difference in terms of device connectivity huge. Upgrade for my family. The app is extremely intuitive and highlights security and connectivity. Was considering the orbit, however, due to the size of my residence and family members gaming found this product to align with our needs well. And price was extremely competitive to ultimately allow me to make this purchase. The 6E bandwidth is extremely synchronous for our compatible devices making it much easier to allow us to get the best speed for our devices.

Following after that, I switched over to TP because the Netgear Router kept dropping my connection, it kept choking my speeds, and it had it’s complicated qwerks. Well Netgear has come along way. The AXE1100 smashed my expectations. It took me less then 10 minutes to setup, I have had zero issues, and I am very satisfied with the product.

Great router and exactly what I needed
Seriously what an improvement over my previous mesh system. I had eero before and it just wasn't providing my family and I with consistent performance throughout the home. I spent a long time researching routers and this bad boy provides. Easy setup and out of the box performance is incredible. We have 1GB internet and wirelessly throughout the house we see anywhere from 500-700MB/s speeds and that includes outside along the perimeter of the house. Insane! Also, I’m heavily invested in HomeKit and smart equipment. Eero failed to connect them consistently and I was constantly reconnecting them to my network. With this router I have zero issue with my IoT devices. Connect without issue and just work. Overall, super happy with the purchase and highly recommend.

NETGEAR Nighthawk AXE11000 (RAXE500)
I've now had the NETGEAR AXE11000 RAXE500 for a couple of weeks and it has been a big performer. I had another brand router that was pretty decent but the AXE11000 outperforms it by a mile.
PROS:
I found the AXE11000 to be easy to setup using the auto setup feature
-used the 2.5/1ghz internet input and am -getting 1.35ghz speeds on cable
-not seeing any issues with drop outs or signal strength, even though the router is in a 2nd floor corner room
-easy to use app helps with setting up new devices and performing firmware updates for the router
CONS:
-would like it to be smaller, petty on my part
-could be less expensive
-not many 6e devices yet and I don't have any to comment on
I do recommend reading the manual so that you can use the router to it's fullest.

Replaced router with 6E router to cover more devices and distance. Speed test over 3 story cabin and detached garage is same 114 mbps download. Removed the 3 Netgear 6 extensions because this new router covers property distance and speed impressive. Very happy. Easy setup.
Weird that you can’t have one guest ssid like main ssid. So guest is -guest and -5g-guest. Not sure why can’t be one.
Only had it installed a week. But happy so far.

I don't have one however read below.
I don't have one. Last netgear I owned was I believe R7500 which never worked correctly for me. Worked fine for 2 years for a friend however and with the 2 Asus routers I've had, the RT-AC5300 and the AXE11000, I have found that to keep from having issues, a laptop cooling pad works wonders. I am 90% sure this would have also helped with the last netgear. These routers as with all the higher end routers no matter what brand, run hot and a cooling pad will help prevent most issues that customers tend to have.

Great increase in performance!
I knew I needed to replace my old router so I started the arduous investigation process. Looked at five different brands, many different models and got more and more uncertain. I tend to always look at the 1 star reviews to read the reason for the low rating. I'm starting to think they are all written by that products competitors. :) I took the plunge and ignored this router's naysayers and I'm glad I did. Easy to set up, powerful features, improved performance and much greater security by using the app, guest wifi and Netgear Armor. I love it and would highly recommend it based upon my experience. Unless you have something unusual going on where you are going to deploy this, I have to think you will very happy.

My 4th Netgear router
This is my fourth Netgear router because each one just keeps getting better than the one before it. Two of my prior three are still in service at other homes. This router is the fastest one to date and has the advantage of Wi-Fi 6 e. This is still a relatively new form of very high speed Wi-Fi that runs on a different band from 2.4 and 5 gig. But it is currently available in this router and two of my Samsung Galaxy smartphones are already designed to take advantage of the faster speeds. In all truthfulness this router has the chops to keep up with all 40 devices in our home including streaming televisions in 4K and phones tablets computers and what have you. I'm very pleased with this and expected flawless performance and that's exactly what I have gotten. I paired this with the Netgear cable modem cm2000 which helps provide the speed that I need to power the Netgear 6 enhanced router. I never go wrong with Netflix.

Purchased this to replace a RAX120 that was working ok. But it was having trouble covering the whole house. Extenders introduced more problems
RAXE500 solved the range problem. WIFI 6E is impressive bit it does have a short range

I upgraded from the Netgear R6300 AC router which I had since 2012. The range in which the RAXE500 maintains the strong signal with optimal speed is beyond what I expected. Had it for a bit over a week and it is well worth the money that I paid.

This router is well worth the money! Trust me when I say- as time progresses, it will only become more and more clear that you made the right choice in purchasing this router as more and more devices adapt and are able to utilize the 6G WiFi Band. If you haven't had the opportunity to experience it yet, please trust me when I say it is absolutely PHENOMENAL! Not to mention the security measures and plethora of other features this router comes with- like I said, you WILL NOT REGRET THIS PURCHASE IF YOU GO THROUGH WITH IT!

A Prosumer Networking Solution
Coming from the Nighthawk R7000, this has been quite the jump. The process of finding a decent 5G band was mostly painless, and I have yet to test any 6G devices. The
My only complaints really come from small quirks in the firmware's web UI that deviate from the previous router for the same effect (port mapping, attached device management, auto-update). These won't matter much to someone not coming from a previous Netgear router.
Also not a fan of Netgear Armor being applied by default if the company is just going to ask for subscription money later. My only other wish would be for one more 2.5Gbps port. For the price Netgear charges, that isn't asking for much.
Works flawlessly in tandem with an Arris SB8200

The setup was simple but the only annoying thing when you open the app is the Armor trial ad that pops up before you have to close it and then get to the app itself. Only thing that prevents a full 5 star rating.

Good router, but good support is lacking.
The RAXE500 is a good router, and my surveillance cameras do not drop out like they used to.
The support from Netgear is a different story. Support is obviously outsourced somewhere outside the US so there is a slight language barrier and the support agents are not at all knowledgeable on Netgear's product portfolio, even when you filter down to your specific product.
I would give Netgear support 1 star.

Good range, amazing speed, high quality nat
Coming from the nighthawk series of routers, Netgear does a few things extremely well year over year. Specifically, their NAT. If you have multiple (4+) xboxes or PS, netgear always works well with an open nat where I have found other brands to have issues. However, where netgear struggles is really been high quality launches. I've noticed some instability with wifi that I did not experience in previous products. Though, with each firmware update it seems to get better. Wifi performance and speed is excellent, and it does get slightly more range that my nighthawk did. I wish it went an extra couple of feet but at least it's an improvement. Overall, high quality product that I would recommend. Only thing I wish it had was better information about your network utilization.

Awesome high speed router
The parental controls and netgeargear security are garbabge, we just leave them off. When we turned netgear security on it would actually drop wifi signal and reboot. This is a known issue and you can read about it from other users, just leave it off. However, once we turned that stuff off we have had no other issues. We have a RING security system with 5 cameras, we have about 20 smart wifi exterior garage lights and numorous other devices. The router says we have around 60 devices. And they all work great. We have air tv to get local channals via SLING, so you hook up you antenna that is hooked up to a hard drvie that then transmits our local channals throughout our home network to are roku devices. Works great, however, this was too much for are previous router. I thought that we had poor reception because it was constanly buffering, but once we hooked up this router it works like a charm. Also, we had an issue with our ring cameras not consistently following its light schedule. I thought it was due to the camera itself so i called ring and they sent me a new camera (they have a lifetime warrenty), however the old camera did the same thing. Are old router was the netgear R7000 which i though was pretty nice but our new router resolved these issues. Now everything just works so nicely. So if your having problems with you devices, it may kust be network conjestion. I took 1 star off because their security sucks and they charge for it.

Great Router
We have 17 devices on our router including 3 gaming devices. Great speeds with no lagging when all three are gaming at the same time as well as 2 streaming devices going. There is no loss of speed throughout the home. Would definitely recommend.

Best upgrade for my home internet!
After buying other brands of products, I keep coming back to Netgear, and the reason is quality and reliability! Always will keep using their Nighthawk line of products as they are the best for what i need!

Quick Set-up, and running as described
The set-up was quick, and the NETGEAR Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router AXE11000 is running as described. Looking forward to adding several wireless devices.

Best router
Our WiFi in our home was having severe issues with unstable connections. Purchased this router and it’s been the best I’ve ever owned! It fixed all of the issues I was having and can keep up with all my TVs, tablets, game consoles, laptops, etc.

Top notch router for 2024
Since we got several devices that support WiFi6E, it was time to upgrade my ASUS AC3100 and I picked this one. First, the looks is nice and sleek. No more ugly antennas to move around. To the important performance - it is simply fast and reliable. It was very easy to setup and I had all my devices connected quickly (although I think ASUS has more fine tweak options but I don't really need that). Overall, my house network is more reliable and better overall throughput. Thank you BestBuy for stocking this and Netgear for an outstanding device.

Wow, noticeable difference!
During the pandemic, I purchased the previous gen of Nighthawk router to get us through. That AX8 was a huge upgrade, wired connections were 100mbps, and WiFi was decent…but started to age out dropping some connections erratically, so it was time to upgrade again. This new Nighthawk has HUGELY enhanced my network. All the wired connections max out my 550gbps, so I finally know what gigabit Ethernet can mean. WiFi is now almost the same 550mbps. I don’t need to use QoS now, since all devices are blazing now. So glad I upgraded. The Armor protection gives me peace of mind too since it seems to find the vulnerable IOT devices in my home and gives reasonable if sometimes cryptic names of the connected devices. 3 floor 2500ft^2 home very well covered. No 6GHz devices yet, but feel like I’m ready for those when the inevitable upgrades happen. No regrets!
