Un trs bel objet
Routeur parfai
Totally fed up with Virgin’s Supplied router on the WiFi side of things ( a “Chocolate Tea Pot”). Solution NETGEAR AX-1800 it has whistles and bells but just have a single Access Point to start with linked with the Nighthawk sw it’s a breeze you can monitor each individual devices connection speed check vulnerabilities add a separate guest sign-in and a lot more. Yes of course you can split the band’s but let the RAX10 do all this for you. Great bit of kit well worth the money-Do yourself a favour let it take all the stress away!!
I have been with TP-Link for a long time, recently switched to NETGEAR AX1800 WiFi Router (RAX10), this has been a great experience so far, easy to setup and offers fantastic options on mobile App to control your router. I love my new router.
I always use my own Router rather then the one the ISP service provides. I decided to get this one. While I know what I am about, I found it easy to set up and configure to my particular needs. It also provides a signal that covers my house and garden which pleases me as I am not a fan of mesh solutions.
Once you know password this works great pc Xbox PS4
Just hope they spelt password right at the base as mine had one letter missing kept coming up wrong password as the Frist word was easy to see might have letter missing I tryed it and went in after 30 mins trying ….. Hopefully just spelling error on mine as say works grea
Awesome product, setup was really simple and quick. The Netgear app is very easy to use and made setup quick and simple. Performance of the router has been great so far and has solved my dead spot issues throughout my whole house. I replaced my supplier provided router and Wi-Fi pods with a single Rax70 and am getting up to 20-30% improvement on Wi-Fi speeds in some rooms throughout the house
I’ve been battling with wifi and Network issues for as long as I can remember. Got new wifi usb adapters for the laptops (in same room as virgin hub 3). I also have used repeaters for upstairs (was last using virgin one).
Wifi would drop off phone. There would be dropped packages over wifi and homeplug just pinging virgin router, fortnite would lose network at times and glitch.
I got this hoping it would help. Set virgin router to modem mode, plugged in netgear. Configured netgear with same SSID and password and everything connected automatically (loads of wifi blubs so would have been a drag otherwise).
No drops now, wifi in whole house (no repeaters). Network so fast over smb. Why didn’t I do sooner!
It looks awesome, like a creature of the night, once I got it working, it really does the job, but it was very hard to configure, I had to reset it SIX TIMES!!!! I followed every step as detailed on the directions. I was ready to give up, somehow the last try worked out. I do not like the fact that you cannot use the web interface out of the box, it forces you to download the Nighthawk app on your phone to get started. After it was working, then I was able to access the router from the web interface. Now it works really good, the signal is very powerful. Purchase only after arming yourself with all the patience that you can get. It will pay off.
We live in an old house with solid brick walls and 3 teenage kids…Virgin whilst providing super broadband provide woeful wifi. Now it works all over the house. Fast and no fade in the middle of my video conferences(important as I am a doctor doing online consults). Great.
une grande amlioration pour ma maison .
1/ extrmement simple configurer (soit avec l’application , soit directement avec son pc ce qui offre plus d’options )
2/ une vitesse de votre connexion internet exploit son maximum . J’obtiens des 70mo/s sur certains sites et une moyenne de 45mo/s quand toute la maison est connect (en wifi 5).
3/ un suivi rgulier de l’appareil avec des mises jour quotidiennes . Je l’utilise actuellement comme point d’accs et il gre sans difficult les nombreux appareils connects chez-moi .
Je possdais auparavant un rpteur de la mme marque et c’est un gain de dbit sans quivalant por moi avec une porte plus importante .
En conclusion un excellent appareil qui fait trs bien son travail .
Prima di comperare il RAX10 avevo 3 access point (sempre netgear: WNR2000v4 e WNR2000v5). Adesso non ne ho pi bisogno!
Unica pecca la non immediatezza dell’interfaccia che, unita all’ignoranza dei call center, non aiuta la prima installazione della connessione alla fibra.
This solved a lot of my problems. However my internet does still fluctuate a few times during the day but I believe this is ISP sided now. The management software on the router is really good, love the app.
No signal dropping. Strong signals in all corners of house ( 600 sq m). Can control more than 25 iot devices with ease. Can also check status if each device on mobile phone through netgear nighthawk app.
Ich muss gestehen, ich war aufgrund der teilweise kritischen Rezensionen etwas unsicher den RAX200 zu kaufen!
Muss aber jetzt sagen das bis jetzt meine Erwartungen absolut erfllt wurden!
Nachfolgend ein paar Anmerkungen zu wesentlichen Punkten:
Inbetriebnahme: Ging ber die APP sehr schnell und problemlos !
Einrichtung: Ich betreibe den Router als AP hinter meinem Modem von A1. Alle wichtigen Einstellungen fr WLAN, SSID, Passwrter usw. lassen sich ber die Benutzeroberflche gut einstellen. Die Bedienoberflche kann zwar mit ausgereiften Systemen wie z. B:. FritOS nicht mithalten ist aber fr meine Zwecke, im Betrieb als AP, absolut ausreichend!
WLAN Reichweite: Router ist im EG Zentral positioniert und deckt das EG.OG und den Keller durch teilweise mehrere Wnde problemlos ab! ber die 2,4 und die beiden 5 GHZ Frequenzen bleiben alle meine Gerte teilweise mit enormen bertragungsraten (im Vergleich zum Vorgnger) online!
Alles im allem eine klare Empfehlung meinerseits!
My experience with the nighthawk RAX200, setup was very easy to do using the app which explains everything step by step. The RAX200 looks great all antenna’s are hidden, looks like a space ship, cool. I have only been using it for a few weeks but have found that the router is more reliable better range and the wi-fi speed is quicker than it was before using the same speed test. I am very pleased with the NetGear nighthawk RAX200 and would recommend to anyone looking to improve their performance and range within the house
C’est un super router, trs facile d’installation via l’application pour iPhone ou androd. Je cherchais un router puissant et capable de traverser les gros mur de pierre de mon appartement. Aucun problme pour lui 🙂 il est top !!!!
Very fast, easy to set up. Large but neat as it doesn’t have wobbly antennae. Much better all round than our old router.
After weeks of problems with our WiFi at home (with 100mb broadband was often struggling to even maintain an audio conference call) installed my RAX70 router and put my ISP router into modem mode and not a single problem since! Easy to install/setup and even copes with sending a signal through an external wall to an extension on our house 🙂
The advantages for me are faster more reliable WiFi in the home for all the hungry devices, keeps the kids from complaining, but the bonus for me is with a few additions I now have a Faster wired network also, enabling me to take advantage of new ways of working to get the job done.
This has improved our download speeds and connectivity in the far corners of the house. It was really easy to set up with the phone app and has put a new lease of life into our Virgin hub. I wish we had got one at the start of lockdown because I could have avoided all of the stress in Teams and Zoom meetings when the signal dropped out.
I have been using Asus RT-ax82u for 9 months but signal keeps dropping out at far end of our 5 bedrooms house. Changed back to Talktalk smart hub which has more powerful signal.
Finally changed to this one and its powerful WiFi signals now get to every corner of our house. It’s definitely stronger than Talktalk hub and Asus RT-ax82u.
Other negative is that the add on parental control and antivirus are subscriptions services.
The Web interface is a lot simpler than Asus, it looks a bit dated.
So far stable steady Internet. This is much faster, at a distance, than my previous asus.
Habe mir den Router besorgt weil wir immer wieder Probleme mit dem WLAN der normalen Fritzbox hatten, seither ist das WLAN sehr stabil der Ping beim spielen betrgt im Durchschnitt 10ms statt vorherige 30-50ms. Auch die App zum konfigurieren des Routers ist bersichtlich und einfach zu verstehen und zu verwenden. Da ich den Router am black friday auch noch mit einem reduzierten Preis ergattern konnte bin ich auerordentlich zufrieden!
I was looking for a decent router to replace a Virgin Superhub 3 which was giving me very poor WiFi coverage upstairs in our new house. Finally, after much searcing I decided on a Netgear Nighthawk RAX 70. I was still unsure if the RAX70 was capable of doing the job that I required it to do. I can only say that I have been blown away by its performance since purchase. I now have excellent WiFi coverage throughout the house including upstairs. Would highly recommend this product.
Superbe routeur au design impeccable, mais avant tout hyper performant. Wi-Fi trs stable et rseau de trs bonne qualit dans toute ma maison (2 tages, 130m). Trs facile mettre en service avec l’appli Nighthawk, contrlable distance, avec rseau ddi aux invits. Connect en fibre optique, j’ai facilement, et durablement, du 700MB/S en Wi-Fi dans toute la maison. Je recommande fortement car j’en suis hyper ravi !
Early days, but router seems stable and fast. Much smaller than my old R7000, so easier to tuck away. Non removable antennae, so no option to use different ones nor extensions.
I tuned the frequencies of my old WiFi router to find the lowest congested frequencies that I could identify using the NetSpot app. The wifi network still performed poorly, never approaching the full speed of my internet connection. It also constantly dropped the throughput to near zero on both the 2.5 and 5 GHz frequencies. It randomly dropped Internet calls and internet browsing would freeze due to loss of signal because of interference.
I put the Nighthawk RAX120s into the same physical locations of my previous routers configured to exactly the same frequencies and transmit power levels. One as the Wireless Router and the second 2 stories up in my 200+-year-old home as an access point. Now I get full internet speed in every nook and cranny in the house. The connection is stable with none of the dropouts nor near zero throughput experiences. I get full speed in the cellar and in the room that has brick walls around where the signal has to travel through another brick wall with a fireplace in it to get to the router. Even my AC only (non-AX standard) devices enjoy full-speed performance.
I can see over 25 networks from my house. Even with my computer in the same room as the previous wifi router, I couldn’t get full speeds. After replacing it with the Nighthawk I instantly saw full internet speeds on my wifi network, just as if I was wired to the Internet Modem directly.
I used Orbi in my last house which was a craftsman made of wood. I had to put an extender in every room to get this level of performance. I should have gone with the Nighthawk.
I had tried another manufacturer router and the set up was not easy and in the end I gave up the Netgear router and the app made it so easy to set up and we were up and running in 10 mins really good product.

Good design and features. Signal strength and speed is grea
It’s better than BT router. very stable and rarely off line
Excellent routeur tant par son design que par les options qui l’accompagnent.
Interface fluide et facile prendre en main.
Wifi d’excellente qualit
Point positif, il m’a permis de remplacer la BBox en le connectant directement l’ONT. (Voir les sujets sur Lafibreinfo)
A acheter les yeux ferms !
Living in an early 20th century solidly-built house, Home WiFi throughout the three stories has been a challenge……..until now: AT LAST, the download speeds I pay Virgin Media for are achieved thanks to my new NETGEAR 4-Stream AX1800 WiFi 6 Router (RAX10). 200+ upstairs…….thank you NETGEAR!!!
Fast speeds, app works great, using same credentials as previous network is a straight swap. Interface settings seems limited but actually holds everything you need. The anywhere network storage still won’t work for me, seems to just reject my account, but local storage works fine. Signal is strong and resilie
kurzum – nach einigen Versuchen mit anderen Herstellern bin ich bei diesem Router
gelandet und nach ausgiebigen Test auch geblieben.
Haus mit 3 Etagen und Keller
Vorher: 3 AC – Router + 3 Repeater
Jetzt: 2 RAX Router + 1 Repeate
I have worked with a lot of equipment in the past. This user interface is very simplified. The versatility of the router is outstanding. There are a few protocols that the router does not support. But for a middle tier home router it does and outstanding job.
We all have iPhone 11 or newer, so we have WiFi 6, we can finally experience the strength of 6 since we got our router. The virgin media hub 3 not only is poor at sending a decent signal but it also cuts out very often. I thought this was my ISP turns out it was actually the router itself because since having my Netgear I have much strong signal, much stronger range, and much more reliability in my internet. On the virgin media hub 3 the PS5 was speed testing at 103 down and 8 up. With Netgear router it is now maxing at 211 down and 31 up. Great upgrade throughout the home.
Been using this for a while on the wan connection, and was doing t best then upgraded to fiber, connected it via the Multi-Gig ethernet port,l unleashed the beast, the speeds are insane. this is a straight connection from the wall to the port., surfing the net is a pleasure download, its blink, streaming,l have more the 15 items connected to this but, no-frills, connections always on, no buffering multi-streaming, and eg pip on 4k
Bought to address WiFi issues with diabolically poor performance from a Virgin “Superhub” 3. High latency and constant dropouts even when within touching distance of the router. Swapping WiFi duties to the RAX70 is like night and day; only been running a week but not a single drop-out. Multiple wireless connections streaming faultlessly at the same time plus numerous wired connections through a brace of 8 port switches. Performance has been spot-on so far. Setup was a breeze using the iOS app. One single issue with a wired LG smart TV that required it’s network settings reset. The RAX70 WiFi signal is rock-solid throughout our 2 storey 1960’s house and into the garden. I procrastinated for a while between a decent WiFi router or a mesh system but finally decided on this and do not regret the decision.
Works great and we get a good signal from the attic to the cellar in our stone built house. Non savvy buyers (like me) should note it’s a router without a modem. I was fiddling with it for a long time before the penny dropped. No worries, I got the freebie from the internet service provider out of the cupboard and connected them together.
Ask any of my friends I am no IT whizz
This was an absolute doddle to set up (once I realised I had to press a button on top of the device- see above)
It is superb, rapid and you should all buy one!
Habitant une grande maison avec beaucoup de volume ce router fournit du haut dbit partout.
Conforme mes attentes.
Ca change la vie en comparaison avec le wifi de la box dans l’armoir lectrique.
Seul bmol sans consquence l’application qui pilote l’appareil plante parfois sur mon tlphone (sans consquence sur le bon fonctionnement de l’appareil)
his router doubled the speed of my standard sky modem/router.
This router has been a total game changer for me – I have virgin media 500mb broadband and the standard virgin hub and because I had 25 devices on it including many sonos – ring doorbell – and Amazon alexas – I was unable to stream well as it would freeze a lot – I turned my hub into a modem and bought this Netgear NightHawk and wow is all I can say – all my devices work so much faster now and stable and I’m getting better speeds also – it was so easy to set up through the app on my phone and I was done in 10 minutes!! Why I waited so long and suffered with poor broadband I do not know but I have told everyone about this Netgear device and to go out and get one. 5 stars

Le TOP des routeurs
I’ve been using this router for a few months now and I love it. The range is great, the speeds are phenomenal, and the interface is very user-friendly. It’s also pretty easy to set up and use on your smartphone or tablet as well. This router has all of the features you need to keep connected wherever you go with its dual band WiFi capabilities; it can handle both 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections at full speed!
This Netgear Nighthawk was purchased to replace a set of three Apple AirPort Extremes which were being used to form an extended mesh network.
It gives better range and with the intellect switching allows for even better range and also device control to disconnect via the app.
The internet now reaches my garden and covers four floors and with wifi6 the speed my devices are getting are great.
The setup was simple and easy, download the nighthawk app, follow the instructions and connected to my Virgin Media SuperHub with high fidelity Cat6e networking cable and your off.
Strong signal and excellent speed throughout my house. Having the 2nd 5Ghz band is fantastic and management and setup couldn’t have been easier. VM router speeds sucked – this bad boy is giving me the line speeds I pay for every month. My only regret is waiting so long to buy.
What a revelation from my out dated router. My Apple devices no longer say “weak security” and I now have full signal on my Mac in the study. The facility to have guest wifi is most exciting too.
Moving to FTTP – Fibre to the Premises with 400mbs I needed something that could handle 5GHz WiFi 6 and many older 2.4GHz IOT devices that don’t work well with smart single named Access Points.
After around a month the RAX120 has been very reliable with all devices from IOT switches, lights and timers, remote controls that need to work every time to multiple high speed WiFi 6 and LAN connected video streaming.
I signed up to the Armor security service, which is very reasonable for the first year at least. This seems to catch denial of service attacks, spam sites etc
Looks amazing too, like a space ship
Netgear just do it right. This is my second Nighthawk product, My old R7000p was great for 3 years and I upgraded to 1GHz broadband from my ISP and decided to upgrade and grab the AX6000 WiFi 6 model. This thing just worked straight out of the box configured in under 5 minutes with the nighthawk app and up and running with Wifi download speeds of 948Mbps and up which was great. My family and I live in a very connected smart home, we have lots of wired and wireless devices from Synology NAS, Philips Hue bridge with 20 wifi bulbs and several smart plugs, Gaming Consoles, Android TVs all relying on stable wifi connections and the AX6000 just handles them all with ease. Finally I would just like to say its appearance is awesome, it looks so cool sitting pride of place in our main room like something sneaked out of Area 51 – I just love it – Well done Netgear …agai
Arrivavo da un ottimo e fedele Netgear R7800, cambiato solo per fare un upgrade ad un sistema pi recente con wifi6 e maggiore banda, passato da un rax50 che ho sostituito in quanto difettoso, e per non rischiare ho punto ancora pi alto con questo RAX70 che per le mie esigenze quasi troppo..ma mi trovo benissimo. Villetta di 2 piani 80mq a piano, ottima copertura anche in giardino e al secondo piano nel pjnto pi lontano, certo magari non alla massima velocit ma si naviga e guardano film full hd anche a distanza. In soggiorno dove ho il router il mio tablet si collega a 1,2Gbps! Top. Trasferimento da pc ad ups ultraveloci. Consigliato
Bien que le routeur soit un prix prmium, les performances sont largement au rendez-vous, je conseille vivement le routeur si vous avez des problmes de dbit en partie d votre box, la nature de votre logement (nombreux murs pais) ou encore si vous voulez tirer parti au maximum des capacits du WiFi 6.
Amazingly fast and it feels like I was transported from Jurassic age to modern age when I started using this router. I bought five of these WiFi routers for the entire house after using the first one.
It’s value for money even though it’s expensive but worth each penny.
Easy to set up, great connectivity and features for managing everything on the home network. Came with a free security advisor tool which scans connected devices for potential issues. Also looks pretty cool on the shelf. Would definitely recommend!
Good product, the intermittent connection as the speeds are not always consistent. The coverage is good as long as the router is in the right open location so the signal can spread.
Also I got this on an Amazon warehouse deal and I am not sure if there was an issue before as they don’t tell you anything. Lesson is not to order a warehouse produc
This Netgear router is fast & stable in a 2 story, maintaining both 5ghz and 2ghz coverage throughout. Devices closer to the unit have faster connections, of course, but good connections throughout overall. Although I am an expert in various technologies, I believe the documentation provides accurate information for setup, and the actual setup was a breeze.
I would have liked Parental Control / Content filtering like I had with my old Netgear. Additionally, I could not find an area that logs websites visited.
I have 1 device that is connected at 2.5gigs. As of this writing mainstream is 1gbs, but the router supports 5gbs. My gaming PC has a NIC that supports only up to 2.5gbs, so that’s the max that I can get on the LAN ATM.
Great router, fantastic for most home network/internet needs, Stable VPN for work- great for Gaming!
I have been working remotely since November 2020 and I have been a victim of lag from day one. My ISP-supplied router, even though it was using “state of the art technology”, just wasn’t enough to keep me linked to my employer’s VPN. My connection would time out every few minutes. Every time I would check my internet connection on fast.com the loaded latency would be over 100ms. The issue was so bad that I had to unplug every network-connected device in the house while I was working. This Nighthawk router fixed all my issues immediately. My loaded latency has dropped to under 20ms. I have been using this router for just over a month and I have yet to experience any connection issues. Setup was pretty simple. The router installed a quick firmware update and the nighthawk app had me connected to the internet pretty quickly. This router has truly been amazing.
It is simply the best Wi-Fi six Router around. 12 data streams. Two 5 GHz bands. Incredible range with a strong signal throughout our home. Armor Cyber Security Software included.
It outperforms all other Wi-Fi 6 Routers (just read the outstanding reviews in all the Computer Magazines – as we did)
What’s not to like?
Fantastic equipment, easy to use with simplistic instructions to set it up and it has a great WiFi signal. The app which controls it is amazing and netgears customer service support so far has been second to none. All in all a great router. I would highly recommend this product.
A quick tip for anyone on Virgin, set the hub to modem only mode and you need to use port 1 on the router to connect to this router. Also if you do need to access the virgin hub once in modem mode the ip address will have changed to 192.168.100.1.
I used the nighthawk app to set this up, all done in 10 mins and has been solid since. Recommended.
Unfortunately I was unable to use this and returned it as I didn’t have a separate modem
Small issues when setting up that were easily fixed via watching a YouTube guide, since then has been flawless working with Virgin.
This is a great router, I turned my vigin hub 4 into modem mode and connected the nighthawk as the router. This seems to be working well with a good WiFi signal, not exceptional but good enough. I also connected to this a nighthawk WiFi extender placed on my bedroom windowsill to cover my garden. So far all has been very stable, everything is connected ok without any issues.
Note you can turn off the led’s if you wish there is a switch at the back to allow you to do this. All in all very pleased.
I love this unit. Tech support is very beneficial. The only problem I have had, the app and the unit have a link to a speed test, i was worried as i was getting speeds all over the place on the app and router when i tested directly from the nighthawk Lan and got 930 downloads every time, works well with virgin hub 4 in modem mode, great deals from Netgear for 3 yrs support which includes accidental damage. Happy upgrade
I recently purchased this router for home, compatible and very easy to connect to Virgin broadband. I can honestly say that I am very happy with the device and it was very easy to install. The wifi signal is strong enough for the whole family to use right throughout the house and garden!! By purely installing the Nighthawk the wireless internet speed has increased significantly. I thoroughly recommend this router for anyone who is looking to upgrade their internet services at home or work.
Gran Router, la calidad del material y elegante que es lo puedes sumar a la gran potencia que tiene.
Fcil de instalar, el Wifi 6 es una pasada.
Lo tengo conectado a un pc, ps5 y varios dispositivos a la vez y todos cogen la potencia que te ofrece este Router.
Lo recomiendo para aquellos que quieren una conexin estable y sobretodo que te ofrezca en todo momento la conexin que tienes.
Sin cortes y con una estabilidad en la conexin.
Facil de controlar con la aplicacin de Netgear.
Con la aplicacin puedes controlar todos los dispositivos conectados y programar el Router a tu antojo.
Todo un producto a la altura de lo que buscaba.
Netgear smbolo de calidad y eficacia.
The wi-fi signal on my system has improved from 40% to 98%. Easy to setup and use.
I needed to upgrade my router to cope with all the internet linked devices that I now have in the house. My previous, 5 year old router, was becoming unstable. This router, after a bit of trouble setting it up, is now performing well. My broadband upload and download speeds also appear to have increased by 3 Mbps!
Easy setup, works great with my 1 Gig connection. I get the complete 1Gig wired and I get great speeds via WIFI 6 with a new PC I built. I have very solid, thick walls, a real test for any router, and I get 0.5Gig using the old WIFI standard on my Ipad, iPhone etc., at the furthest point in the house. This contrasts with my ISP modem, which delivers around 0.25Gig, and that’s with an extender. I’m delighted, the device is very stable, and I use the Internet a lot. I have TV, PlayStation, phones, Macs, Pc all connected, and things run very well. I paid 410, so the current 350 seems a great deal. I like the software which runs on IOS, Mac, Pc very smoothly.
I’m not a technical expert; I wanted a router that could consistently deliver fast speeds throughout my house, without the need for a mesh system. I’m more than happy that for my needs this router does that. I attach an external USB 3.0 hard drive to the router via one of its USB ports, and it works very well for quick internal file-swapping and sharing.
I’m happy to recommend it, particularly at this new lower price.
Easy setup, works great with my 1 Gig connection. I get the complete 1Gig wired and I get great speeds via WIFI 6 with a new PC I built. I have very solid, thick walls, a real test for any router, and I get 0.5Gig using the old WIFI standard on my Ipad, iPhone etc., at the furthest point in the house.

I’ve had a lot of issues with different wifi setups being in a flat with a lot of nearby wifi networks and thick brick walls. Google’s mesh network didn’t really help much, so a friend recommended this. The 2.4GHz channel is really great for IoT things and having the triband is fantastic because I don’t think anyone else is using it, so I am getting at least 600mb speeds on the wireless devices, whilst the wired ones are getting the full gigabit internet. The range of the router is also impressive, It has more coverage than the two node google mesh network I was using, and compared to the “superhub 4” it has about 3x the area coverage. For those put off by the price, I rationalised it as a buy once use forever sort of device, but even short term it’s such a nice feeling to not be annoyed by the constant dropouts, and lag I was getting on the old setups. 10/10 recommend for those with gigabit internet to get the most out of i
Bought to replace an older Netgear router. Set-up was straight forward and has been 100% reliable so far!
Purchased this to replace an ageing Apple Airport router. This was an easy install and provides so much information and options for putting devices on to different networks. Love it. My sons gaming PC has its own WIFI network now and not had any complaints so far. Obtaining a constant 220Mbps download with my provider (Virgin). Replicated my guest network for the freeloaders 😉 that visit. All is good. OK, its expensive, but I think it is worth the expense.
Excellent router with very high bandwidth on ax standard. Firmware is rock solid and quad core processor is snappy! Thermals are excellent and looks are eye catching too. I have uploaded a detailed video review on my channel M-DIY Exposing Lies so I won’t be able to explain all that in text, so look it up.
Bought this so I could use my ISP hub as a modem only after suffering unreliable signal and weak spots. Wi-if is now strong around the house and working continuously with download speeds not dropping below 160Mbps. Also comes with good security.
At first I thought I was having a problem with the router. A call to tech help and the settings were adjusted and it worked great, for a day. I called again and settings were checked. Then I called my internet provider and it turned out I had too many devices (9) for my data plan. I upgraded the plan and the new router and modem have had no problem since. Highly recommend the products and their support people.
Apart from the great design, this is working very well. I’m using it as Access Point with Sky Broadband. Very easy to setup.
Connecting a Devolo power line adapter to my Sky router and then connecting this one to another Devolo power line upstairs.
I replaced a Linksys Velop AX4200 that didn’t work with this one.

This is an awesome router with wonderful coverage. My house is an old house, where there are big depth walls. I get good signal when I am on terrrace too. Specifically, this model is more stable as compared to a Wifi 6 router of Tip-link with same specification. One will not regret after purchase. Should go for this product, if you have old house like mine.
This router, although a little more expensive than I was looking to pay is worth paying for. It gives a more stable signal than my old netgear router and the signal works all round the house. As 2.4G goes further, I use the 5G signal on my fixed location devices like the TVs and media boxes and the 2.4G on mobile devices like phones and tablets. Also has a guest setting if you want visitors to use a different password. Device works in all areas of the house inc loft conversion room, would definitely recommend this router to friends and family.Alsoso easy to install with the Netgear Nighthawk app.
Excellent piece of kit for the best and most stable internet. Highly recommended
This router is everything I wanted it to be and more. Previously in my office I was getting speeds of 120 mbps, I was considering running an Ethernet cable to the office but instead thought I would try and make use of WiFi 6 and make use of all the advantages that come with it. Now I get 550 mbps, it’s like having a cable to all your wireless devices. Would highly recommend, if your still thinking about it go for it, you won’t be disappointed!
After trying several other WiFi Routers, really impressed with the capabilities and range of this device. Setup was straightforward, software very comprehensive, connection is stable, good coverage throughout my 3 story house.
Purchased to sort out poor wifi on Virgin Superhub 3. Put Virgin hub into modem only mode, connected up Nighthawk, updated Firmware to latest and the results are like night and day. Huge performance from this router on wired and wireless. Happy family of demanding device users! You will not regret buying this router!!
I have tried many routers but this is one found best router.
As mentioned in description, you will get proper speed during connect with multiple devices.
I am using fiber internet with Syotech router which the worst router but you have to use it because there is no option to connect direct fiber cable in Netgear router.
You can use RJ45 cable between both routers
Bought this to replace a BT HomeHub 2. It’s like night and day: I have a lot of Echo, Homepod, Hue, and other devices that are all running fast and stable for the first time. Setup and management is simple.

I’ve recently upgraded from my 6-7 year old Netgear 6200 to a RAX 70 Nighthawk. Initial setup was a breeze using an app on my phone. I also renamed the supplied SSID and password to match my original WiFi from the old router. This saved going to every device already connected and changing them. You can also use a Web based interface to access settings too. Once you enter your Service provider login details, you are away. It took me about 45 minutes to make the change over. WiFi coverage is far better than my old router. Connections are much more stable and faster too. It comes with a 30 day subscription to Bitdefender. I’m not sure if I will continue to use that or not. It keeps reporting the same devices as new devices.
I thought it’d be difficult to set up a new router but it was actually very easy.
The accompanying app makes it all very simple. I set up the guest network to be the same as my outgoing router so that everything would stay connected while I changed over the networks on each device. I could have done this for my home network but wanted to take the opportunity to have a much stronger password.
The nighthawk is so much better than my old router, I no longer need to set up separate networks for those devices that only operate on the 2.4ghz band and I handles the traffic effortlessly. WiFi coverage is now much improved and areas that were problematic and required extenders to reach are now covered by the router itself. I’ve given my extenders to friends now!!
Another nice touch is we can turn off all the lights on it (apart from the static power one). Which means if anyone comes to stay they are not disturbed by all the lights as the router is in the spare room/office.
Overall I’m very impressed with the RAX70 router and would certainly recommend it.
Also it kinda looks like a sting-ray :o)
This router is fantastic. It looks dangerous, is easy to set up and use and the app is really user friendly.
I was able to get rid of the wifi extenders I originally needed because this router reaches everu corner of my Gaff.
Netgear again showing why they are top tier.
Bought to replace virgin super hub and immediately gave far better coverage around the house
I was skeptical about this NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8 8-Stream AX6600 WiFi 6 Router (RAX70) at first due to reviews on Amazon. However, take Amazon reviews with a grain of salt due to their reviews can spread over multiple routers of the same make.. this is why I added my product name to the top of the review.
I live in a 4 bedroom ranch style house. Router is located on the main story on one side of the house (my entertainment system area). I currently work from home and work downstairs farthest away from the router & still have full bars. Even outside of the house on my half acre, full bars outside at my garage. Hope this gives a better idea for range. As for speed, I see 850/900mbps as I’ve been checking occasionally throughout the week I’ve had it. The triband is a nice feature as well, especially for someone who has a lot of smart home connections. Definitely a great router for the price and works great with Xfinity/Comcast.
This replaced my nighthawk 1900 and let me say it has the simplest setup out of any router I have ever set up. I am finally getting the internet speeds that I pay for and the coverage in my house is so much better. We have a lot of smart devices and they were starting to overwhelm our old setup. This upgrade was well worth the money and I am glad I made the step to better and more reliable wifi
Could be more customizable but overall not bad product for your money
It’s really good and provides good speed considering the amount of devices I have connect. Very satisfied
After having fibre optic broadband installed to the house, we weren’t particularly impressed with the speed around the house, so we were advised to get a Netgear Nighthawk…this router is simply amazing…we have fantastic speeds around the house and conservatory, and the app is also brilliant..i thoroughly recommend this produc
A bit difficult to set up (they want you to use the app, but you can force it to use your laptop) but once it’s running it’s a pretty good basic Wifi 6 router. Better than CCP-owned companies with backdoors and at a lower price too
Pros:
WPA3
Wifi 6 speeds and device handling (no more dropped smarthome devices as with Wifi 5)
Good signal quality/range
Cons:
Ugly
Lots of flashing lights on the front, but these can be switched off in the setup options
Needs a fairly good understanding of computer hardware to get running properly with all settings tuned the way you really wa
Well worth the cost. Strong stable wifi throughout 4 storey home and garden. VM customer.
