Slick and Powerful
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.

Netgear Rax10 AX1800, semplice ma potente!!
Mi ha davvero sorpreso questo modello, un best buy uscito nel 2020 di Netgear, questo modello non quello che compare nella foto di Amazon, quindi pu ingannare un po con le sigle , ma involontariamente.

Lo sto usando da pi do una settimana, e ripeto, ha superato di gran lunga delle aspettative, ha una portata Wifi davvero eccelsa, sia sulla 2,4 e 5 Ghz davvero molto stabile, pensate che stavo usando anche un Asus RAX82U, che attualmente uno dei top di gamma di Asus sui prodotti consumer e l ho dovuto mettere momentaneamente da parte, perch l Rax10 riesce a risultare pi prestante sulla portata del segnale, incredibile davvero.

L installazione del tutto immediata, non ho visto problemi o particolari ritardi nella configurazione, la nuova interfaccia Nighthawk semplice e intuitiva, forse un po scarna di funzionalit, ma ripeto questo modello uscito come un best Buy!! Segnalo che sul router fisico manca anche l interruttore on/off e la porta Usb, potevano fare qualcosa in pi, ma ripeto ancora… Non uscito per essere un top di gamma, se volete tutte queste opzioni in pi bisogna andare sui modelli di router pi costosi, oltretutto questa la filosofia della Netgear.
In linea di massima, sono molto contento di averlo preso e attualmente diventato con mia mera sorpresa il router preferito, arrivando a preferirlo addirittura all Asus citato.

Enjoy!!

Top di gamma della linea, potentissimo, impeccabile ed user-friendly
Poco da dire su quello che il prodotto di punta della storica linea nighthawk dei router Netgear ad oggi a 12 stream e con wifi6. sicuramente il migliore in termini di processore e gestione dei flussi, potenza di segnale wifi e, a mio parere, il pi bello di tutti con questo design che, pi degli altri, ci ricorda inevitabilmente Star Wars. Stabilit incredibile del multi stream testata su dispositivi 4 e 8K con multiview e multigaming in casa domotica con pi di 30 device connessi contemporaneamente, non va mai in overclock, non attiva mai la ventola, non perde mai la connessione. il prodotto pi facile ed affidabile da installare presente sul mercato user-consumer, da scegliere per chi vuole la qualit ma non si vuole dotare di sistemi professionali o non vuole sistemi mesh. inevitabile in una conformazione domestica con domotica e con grandi schermi, visti i contenuti attuali digitali in streaming, la profondit dell’attuale grafica del gaming o per chi lavora in web design e si trova in un luogo di metratura contenuta nei 100mq o comunque con volumi, anche multipiano, compatti. Con queste caratteristiche non teme ostacoli, il segnale solido ed efficace anche dopo 4 muri e due piani. Unica pecca: materiale esterno molto plasticoso e le “ali”, dove sono contenute le antenne, sono bellissime ma poco solide alla scocca una volta tirate su.

Great Router.
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.

Great for flats
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

Good strong signal on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. No issues so far.
I bought this to replace a 4 year old Netgear Router (d6220) that was starting to lock up on a daily basis. The AX1800 was a pain to set up but that’s because my modem was non standard (a modem router configured to modem only mode) and the AX1800 wouldn’t see the BT Internet connection. However, that was my fault. This router will work out of the box (only need the standard BT username and password configured on the router) with the standard BT VDSL modems such as the Huawei or Draytek Vigor 130 – I tested both. The Wi-fi signals are strong all around a four bedroom modern house – I.e. thin walls. I noticed compared to my old netgear router the 5ghz wireless is about as good but the 2.4ghz Wi-fi is much better on the AX1800 achieving full broadband speeds all around the house which the old router couldn’t achieve. The router user interface via a browser is fast to load and navigate. I’ve got over 40 devices connected (mostly Wi-fi plugs and lights) and it can cope with them without a hiccup. I’ve noticed that web pages load more quickly too even though latency and Wi-fi speed is no better than my old router. Perhaps because the new router has more memory and more and faster CPUs. Only minor quibble is it has no power switch (which my older router had) and no USB port which in all honesty I don’t use anyway. It also runs warm and not hot to the touch like my old router. Gaming wise it has a good stable low ping connection and no lag. And one thing I like about Netgear routers, and why I buy them, is I always achieve open Nat with just the uPnP enabled (for some other brands I’ve tried this has been a pain to achieve).

Must buy
Excellent piece of kit for the best and most stable internet. Highly recommended

Excellent WiFi Route
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.

Very Impressed
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!!

Best route
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

What can I say apart from WOW!
I’ve been a Netgear customer for years and love their products. When I upgraded my Virgin Broadband to 1gb, the existing Netgear router could not push out the speed needed so I kept to my ISP’s router. This was the most painful experience ever. Dropout connections and poor Wifi were everyday occurrences. I knew it was time to upgrade and I started researching Netgear’s new range of Wifi 6 routers and the Nighthawk AX8 was the one for me. My wireless devices are getting 600mb+ and my Ethernet devices at times are getting 900mb+. Solid connection, incredible range with the Wifi and no dropouts. Love this product!

RAX70 Nighthawk Review
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

Really good
It’s really good and provides good speed considering the amount of devices I have connect. Very satisfied

The essential connected home upgrade
After so many WiFi issues with our standard BT Homehub in a house with multiple WiFi devices I decided to buy this for an upgrade. Multiple game consoles, Google nest hubs , wireless printer, PCs and Hue lights as well as mobile phones connected. After a few setup changes (with help from the Netgear community) and we are up and running and the difference is like night and day. Almost no dropouts all across our house and the ping for online gaming is insanely good. Well worth the asking price.

Powerful, Stylish, Excellent Coverage, Super-Fas
Great Router, brilliant upgrade from the 7500
WIFI covers the whole 3 bed house and the speeds are tremendous

Awesome Route
This product takes WiFi to a new level, simple setup, awesome execution and an outstanding product!

802.11AX with multi-gig.
RAX120 Review: Great 802.11AX little (well smallish) box. Does all I need plus a 5GB multi-gig connection. Be nice to have, at least, 3 multi-gig connections!

NETGEAR Nighthawk Tri-Band AX8 WiFi Router is amazing
Add this router to my existing 2 Netgear WIFI extenders and now I can walk around the house and not lose connection while on Teams calls. I also have taken the NETGEAR Armor subscriptions and it works very well. The router has a lot more features that I am very happy with.

A substantial improvement in wifi coverage and speed over my BT Smarthub 2
I purchased the RAX120 to obtain better wifi compared to my BT Smarthub 2 router which was OK, but patchy at longer distances to the router.

First the aesthetics: it is quite a big router and does look like something out of Star Wars. But it is well put together and the lights aren’t too intrusive (although you can turn them off). The ‘wings’ do contribute to its wifi performance, but not everyone will like the design, or want it on full parade in the middle of their lounge.

Onto the setup: I have a BT G.Fast connection which limits what I can use as a modem. My BT Smarthub 2 is a combined modem router so I wanted to use the BT Smarthub 2 as a modem and the Netgear as my router. Unfortunately the BT Smarthub 2 cannot work in modem only mode which I thought would mean a bit more manual setup in the RAX120 to sync the gateways, but the Netgear wizard was quick to identify a potential clash of IP addresses on the original BT network and automatically setup a new network passing the internet traffic through automatically – great job and no more than about 5 minutes to setup. Then it was another quick job to change the wifi security on the RAX120 before switching off the BT Smarthub 2 wifi. All done in about 30 mins. I didn’t really get on with the Nighthawk App; the web interface for setting up the router is much better IMHO. YMMV.

So how does it compare?

At close range, my original BT router and the RAX120 were both good – I would have to be moving large files to really notice the difference. However the Netgear starts to show its real strength at range, both in the house, or out in the garden. Mine hasn’t put a foot wrong since I initially switched it on. I can only assume that some of the poor experiences of the RAX120 you can read on the internet are down to early firmware, defective items, or user error.

Would I recommend it?

Yes – but there are some caveats. If you have a smaller home or flat, or a good Mesh network already, this may be overkill for you needs. Likewise it works well with devices that support wifi 6 (such as newer Android or iPhones) but if you have older devices, then its like having a sports car but never getting out of third gear.

Finally, my understanding is that there is a newer version of the RAX120 on the way with a different (improved?) chipset. To be clear, mine is the V1 which works great. As a consequence I got it at a slightly reduced price – still not the cheapest, but quality rarely is.

RAX200 la Porsche dei router domestici/piccolo ufficio
Router strabiliante quanto a capacit di trasmissione wireless, copre una area di 80 mq gestendo device come S21 Ultra a una capacit di 1,1 Gbps a 12/14 metri, un PC Win10 con Intel 9560 a 1560/1300 sulla frequenza 5Ghz a circa 16 metri .
Firmware V1.0.3.106_1.0.58 stabile. Non fidatevi delle recensioni US basate sui primi fw che probabilmente peccavano di fine tuning. Niente disconnessioni. Abbinato al U Fiber Nano G di Ubiquity (non facile di installazione in Italia) d il meglio: FTTH a 940/930 standard su speedtest BBell da rete Wind. Picchi di 985 in download. Testato anche con ONT Huawei HG8001H medesime performance, quest’ultimo decisamente meno ostico del Nano G da configurare.
E’ importante avviare l’install del RAX200 dall’apk Nighthawk per riuscire ad attivare Armor di Bitdefender. Una volta avviato il setup esclusivamente via smartphone e apk su rete NETGEAR30 con le credenziali fornite non proseguire per ultimare la configurazione al provider (nel mio caso Wind FTTH), andare alla console sul 192.168.1.1 e modificare (entrerete con le user id e password standard indicate) in Configurazione avanzata/ Impostazioni/ VLAN/Bridge portandolo da 10 a 835. A questo punto completate il setup via Nighhawk apk e avrete l’attivazione Armor (il fwall di Bitdefender).
Per questo applicativo ho contattato l’assistenza Netgear con due ticket e abbiamo risolto il problema di attivazione dell’abbonamento completo annuale acquistato.
In se un apparato decisamente performante e soprattutto flessibile e si pu gestire in remoto in sicurezza ed attivare anche la condivisione in remoto di un eventuale disco collegato alla porta USB3. L’attivazione del servizio DDNS veloce e semplice. Ho attivato il mio servizio VPN usando il servizio Netgear by NO-IP e il file di configurazione scaricato dal router perfetto, basta seguire le indicazioni e in 10 minuti mettete in piedi una vostra VPN al pari delle aziendali.
Quanto all’efficienza di Armor decisamente adeguata, appena entra in rete un apparato viene scansionato a livello HW e SW generando un report, comportamento e vigilanza continua. Diverse chiamate sulle porte di malware sono state intercettare immediatamente.

Che dire ? Router da 10 e lode. Ci sono solo PRO soprattutto per chi usa la rete con parecchi dispositivi in 2.4 e 5GHZ. La gestione wifi6 sorprendente per chi ha apparati gi in questa classe S21Ultra, iPhone, PC con scheda di rete Intel 9560 r AX201/200 su Intel 10Th generation. Per tutti gli altri dispositivi meno recenti WiFi, 5ghz al massimo delle prestazioni comunque.
E’ gi un multiport e quindi nel caso vi abilitassero a FTTH a 2,5Gbps la porta dual perfetta e non vi costringe a usare il modem del provider (es. Fastweb). La stessa porta pu essere usata anche se avete FTTH a 1 Gbps, in automatico lavorer a 1Gbps.
L’aggregazione porte eth stratosferica se avete una NAS degna e capace.

I CONTRO?
-per chi non mastica bene l’inglese, il manuale solo in inglese, ma un problema minore;
-viene evidenziato poco che l’attivazione di Armor deve avvenire con il setup via apk e non dalla console:
-manca una autorilevazione delle impostazioni internet e di default parte con un IDVlan poco usato in Italia, sarebbe meglio che gi in fabbrica fosse definito in 835 (comune per Tim e WIND) altrimenti occorre modificarlo passando alla console web;
-Sarebbe utile come avviene per altri marchi introdurre un setup per i maggiori provider italiani (magari da gestire via selezione campo) dove inserire in unica videata gi da subito, utente, password per accedere alla rete internet e Id Vlan. Nel mio caso l’autorilevazione ha fallito con Wind perch non pu accedere a Internet sulla class ID 10 ma serve appunto la 835.

Conclusione.
E’ un router sicuramente non a buon prezzo, ma le prestazioni tri-band e la capacit di trasmissione gestita da 8 antenne davvero ottima. Se considerate che i provider vi addebitano 5 euro mese per 48 mesi, scoprirete che pagate 240 euro dei router che non valgono nemmeno 100 euro con prestazioni scadenti che vi obbligano a usare degli extender e firmware e setup il pi delle volte bloccato.
Con 440 euro (prezzo Italia Amazon di gennaio 2021) vi liberate per sempre dagli obblighi del provider e qualsiasi cambio operatore vi rende indipendenti e non succubi.
Ultima cosa, il router non dotato di gestione separata linea telefonica, per intenderci usare il telefono e la linea telefonica abbinata alle offerte dei gestori. Potete risolvere con un telefono VOIP ethernet da 50 euro e configurarlo con i parametri che il vostro gestore vi deve dare. problema risolto se proprio non volete fare a meno di usare la linea telefonica che ormai tutti vi regalano a “illimitato”. Io non la ho mai usata per cui per me una caratteristica non influente.

Approvato!
Avevo il modem di FASTWEB…ora finalmente riesco ad avere stabilit e Wi-Fi potente in tutta casa
