Great Router !

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2022

I bought this to replace the one supplied by Century Link. It kept going out almost every week and needed to be reset. What a pain. The Nextgear Nighthawk is fantastic ! In addition to being super fast, it never goes out and has a much deeper range than the old one. I'm very glad I got this.

Fast, powerful, easy to use & setup.

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2022

I've always had good luck with Netgear & this is no exception. 50+ devices connected from streaming boxes, gaming computers, console, phones, tablets, VR & a ton of IoT devices & have yet to experience any lag or drops. We put our internet & wifi through a workout, around 1500gb a month & so far, about a year, it's been great. ( Knock on wood)

The Last time i buy a Netgear router

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2021

Let me start off by saying i used to be a hardcore Netgear customer, I have owned 5 nighthawks and have installed Netgear routers in pretty much all my relatives houses when they ask for network help, but this time around, their hardware and support has gone so downhill the past couple of years.

That being said, 2 months ago i purchased an Orbi AX4200 kit. Everything worked great except for the Nest Thermostat bug that Netgear still doesn't acknowledge, even though reviews list this as an issue as well as a thread PAGES long detailing people with this issue on their support forums. Support was no help, they just updated my firmware, which didn't do anything. Good thing i got this at costco, so i'm able to return it.

Against my better judgement, I bought an RAX70 router to replace, and man.. the 2.4 was dropping packets, terrible ping, 1-4mbs on the 2.4ghz. The support had no answers, to the point where the first tech i called "disconnected", I call back again right away, the second tech starts troubleshooting that all didn't do anything, made me change the channels, change MTU mtu size, and i got super annoyed after an hour, he start asking me to disable AX, and factory reset my router, which i did already, so he just hung up on me. i've never had tech support hang up on me 2x before!!!

In the end, I just returned it for an ASUS router, plug and play, UI was fast, set up IP reservations and settings in minutes. The first thing i noticed what how ridiculously fast the UI was. I avoided asus routers for the longest because of the "gamer" look but man... this is what nighthawks used to be. I don't think i'l be going back until netgear changes their ways.

Great Looks - wish it performed - DO NOT BUY

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2020

As a lifelong Netgear user, the Netgear Nighthawk AX8 Router is a total Loser. I've had 2 fail totally over a span of 36 months - 1 just out of warranty, 1 in warranty. From the time I purchased & set up signal loss was an issue, freezing was an issue, have to unplug & restart the norm. Never went even a weak without having to do something to keep it operating. Since I was an early adopter, I purchased the 2nd one in Jan 2020 thinking bugs would be worked out - it was just a bit better & died in less than 4 months of use.

Super puissant, super qualité, bcp bcp de fonctionnalités

Reviewed in France on January 2, 2024

Verified Purchase

Des le premier usage, on remarque immédiatement la rapidité et la puissance du signal.
C'est du wifi 6 à pleine vitesse.

Tout est de qualité, l'appareil en lui même est assez design avec le look un peu star wars. Les fonctionnalités sont très complètes, vous disposez de tout ce qui fait un routeur de qualité avec les filtrages par url, redirection, blocage de ports, ouverture, tunneling etc...

C'est un produit final.... une fois installé, vous n'en changé plus. Il fait le job, le fait bien, avec un style qu'on apprécie ou pas.

Il ne lui manque qu'un port SFP pour ajouter une fibre wan et complètement remplacer une box internet. SI votre besoin est de remplacer votre box, d'autres produits existent.

Top quality router that looks stylish too

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a top draw piece of kit. From the moment you open the box, you can tell that you have purchased a great item. The design is stylish, like Kylo Rens space ship, so it looks quite cool on display. The setup process is so straightforward. Plug in your modem (this is router so you need to use your ISP provided router as the modem, plug in via Ethernet). Download the netgear Nighthawk app and follow the on screen instructions. The Interface is very intuitive and user friendly. I had some issues with Sky Q on my home Wi-fi, with frequency interference and drop outs previously, hence why I bought this. So I configured my Sky Q boxes to remain on the Sky router, and then every other device was connected to this and I use a Switch for various Ethernet devices although with 5 ports there is plenty on the router itself. The security later adds a great amount of comfort and assurance, and if you use a VPN, you can easily overlay that to the router during or after the initial setup making this a really secure bit of kit. The ability to use a guest Wi-fi option is great, simple as turning it on and off using the App means you don’t need to dish out your Wi-fi password to everyone you know, excellent feature. The traffic monitoring tool is very useful, you can see your internet usage rate and check logs for any obscure behaviour, plus the security check for each device that joins the network is reassuring. It doesn’t give you website details at least from what I can tell so your not able to see who is looking at what but you can block website URLs in the Parental control feature. You can turn on/off devices easily, making it simple to control who is on your network at any point in time, plus the downtime allows you to turn off the Wi-fi at certain times too. I also use an extender to my network, which was easy to add. If you use Sonos then you need to know that they don’t work on extenders anywhere, use a boost or plug one into the router, I found this out after hours of trial and error - that is a Sonos issue and will persist with almost any Wi-fi extender, nothing to do with Netgear. Overall, if you are looking for a top quality router that offers control, see less Wi-fi and looks cool, this does the job. 5 stars

Expensive but NetGear make quality hardware

Reviewed in Australia on January 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

A quality unit that is ideal for anyone who has the knowledge to adjust their router and needs all the functions. A combined router modem would be simpler and neater for most users. For me the the ability to trouble shoot between router and modem means that separating the units is preferable. I tend to stick with NetGear and I am happy with this unit.
