    Best Router! It’s a game changer!
    I tried the router provided by my service provider and couldn’t get a strong WiFi signal. I then tried the Google mesh routers which was a little better but still not strong enough for the whole house. I hooked up the night hawk and BAM WiFi all over the house. Lighting fast and has zero dead spots in my house! I highly recommend this product!

    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.

    Compré este Router para reemplazar mi Asus RT-AC68U que he tenido por 9 años. Creí que tendría un alcance mayor pero solo mejoró ligeramente con respecto al router anterior. La banda de 6Ghz no se ve en México. Es muy fácil de configurar utilizando la app. Las velocidades de transferencia son buenísimas. El router luce fenomenal. 1 punto negativo sería los servicios de suscripción que deberían venir incluidos ya que no es un router precisamente barato.

    Este router lo compré para reemplazar el R7800 y estoy muy satisfecho por el cambio, tengo el doble de velocidad de transferencia comparado con el 7800, es súper estable, no lo reinicié desde que lo compré a la fecha que estoy escribiendo este comentario.
    Tiene muy buen alcance en un radio de 100m2.
    El único detalle que tiene es que en México no se la banda de 6GHZ, por ende si lo compras pensando usar esa banda, con este router no va, por eso le saco una estrella.
    Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
