I replaced this with my old Netgear router which I had for 4 years . I moved into new house and was struggling with dead spots. This has been sorted as I have WiFi range to the end of my backyard. I have 900 Mbps and now utilising full bandwidth with WIFI 6.
Over all full marks for functionality and only downside is price!
Brilliant router, get almost the full Gig over wifi. Make sure to turn smart switch on in settings so it chooses the best band for the connected device otherwise you won’t have a good experience. Highly recommend.
I’m an owner of a XR300 which in general was happy with. However I noticed some small hiccups in the connection that weren’t due to the ISP. I decided to try this model as I wanted to upgrade to wifi-6 and get a better CPU for the routing services and additionally I didn’t want exclusive gaming features.
After many months using this router on a working from home situation and plenty of video streaming and online gaming I’m quite happy with the purchase. The mentioned networking hiccups are gone completely and QoS features work very well when playing online and downloading/streaming at the same time. Right now I don’t monitor the network often as I was doing with the previous router as everything works very well. Wi-fi performance has improved massively compared to before specially when the network is stressed with uploads, downloads and video-calls happening at the same time from 2 people.
Despite having full fibre (almost gigabit) service at home we still had issues with relatively poor download speeds and insufficient coverage with our existing WiFi router supplied by our service provider. After running out of options we replaced the existing WiFi router with the Netgear Nighthawk 11000. Apart from being told by our service provider that we still have to use the existing WiFi router as access point, installation was quickly taken care by the engineer (I opted for this service,). We are now enjoying the benefits of proper download speeds and coverage. The unit has a quality feel and looks the part – even the name- nighthawk- is cool!
Due to having quite a busy WiFi network due to smart home appliances etc i started suffering issues with my standard service provider router. My first though was trying a Mesh system.
The first one i tried was a total failure and very unreliable.
I then upgrade to a second more premium solution. However suffered issues with this, even after following all the trouble shooting. I constantly had devices connecting to a weak signaled far away node rather than the one 3ft away and then dropping off the network.
Annoying at the best of times, Extra annoying at 2am when your lights don’t turn on! The Netgear was my “last hope” and thus far has proven solid as a rock. Unlike with my previous struggles everything stays connected all the time and the signal strength is excellent and while not the cheapest router in the world was still cheaper than my last attempt with a Mesh.
The stock router that came with my broadband was quite poor: WiFi was patchy upstairs and it would cause frequent buffering when streaming on some services. Now that I’m fully up and running with this router all those problems are fully solved.
However, getting the settings right initially was tricky (some of the information online wasn’t right), but the free-of-charge support from Netgear was very helpful. I then had to contact support again as the router would spontaneously reboot. Again very helpful and once the firmware upgrade was available, that problem too is fully resolved.
So it is great, but it’s not necessarily a 5-minute swap job.
Amazon covers all their electronic equipment with a standard 2 year warranty direct with them regardless of what you get with a manufacturer. However NETGEAR gives you 2 Warranty with them .On top of that NETGEAR gave me offers as I was setting up my new router you could go for extending the warranty with them for a further 1 year so 3 year extended warranty and for a decent price to me of 11.09 !!!..If you went for both Hardware & full software support it was only 36 for both which is still pretty darn good. As I work in IT & electronics industry myself I am quite adept to technical and software aspects of the router so for me I only needed Hardware cover .What NETGEAR also give you as Part of that hardware cover is accidental damage which could be very useful unless you have house insurance contents cover that covers you for accidental damage anyway.
So for me if I start noticing any issues starting on my Netgear router random reboots of ridiculous amounts of WiFi drops then I have a warranty to use that what’s it their for.
All my previous routers suffered from “occasional” WiFi dropouts theirs nothing unusual in that and if the router just now and then randomly reboots itself then not worth the fuss sending it back just for that .
However it it became far more severe and it was a constant issue happening all the time every day then yes definitely I would get it swapped out or change it for another model at worse case scenario.
I just love it. It’s so much faster higher. It’s just so much faster.
Huge improvement in download speed, the BT Home Hub 2 never reached more then 600Mbos, my first speed check with the Nighthawk and the download speed is over 900Mbps, my WiFi app shows a line speed of 1200Mbps, the same app used with the Home Bub 2 never showed a speed higher than 868Mbps. The router is currently balanced in a box behind the tele, when it’s properly set up I imagine speeds will increase again.
Well worth the money and easy to set up using the app – luckily I didn’t have to use an ethernet cable to connect my laptop, I have a DELL XPS 15 which doesn’t have an ethernet port, the app was fine for the complete set up.
Fairly easy install, android app froze up after firmware install. Had to reboot phone and router, Galaxy S21 Ultra, then everything went as it should. Now that it’s up and running. Going from Wifi5 to Wifi6 was a major improvement and solved many issues including increasing the wifi range by a good 25-30%. Very happy with this router.
The design makes it the centre of attention in the living room and gets everyone asking what it is!
For most people a standard router will do the job, but if you’re into gaming or have a lot of devices connected like a smart home then this is for you!
The biggest selling points for me were the port aggregation (I have a NAS drive as a media server so this allows 2 ports to be bonded to make a 2gb port) and the multi gig port is an added bonus!
The coverage of this router is mind blowing, I live in a large 3 bedroom detached house with a good sized garden and I can receive full signal throughout the house and still pretty decent signal to the end of the garden so I think this would easily cover a large 4 bedroom house if positioned correctly!
I have virgin media and unfortunately you can’t just replace the existing router – you can however set the virgin router into modem mode and it works a treat with little setup required!
This router comes with an app which gives you a good overview however this is a little limited so if you need to do configuration this can be done via the Web GUI.
Overall if you’re into gaming or running a small enterprise from home this will do the job and more! The build is solid and it just simply works with no glitches!
Much better than isps router my homes only 1200 square feet so definitely better than what I had kid has 0 issues now gaming love i
Had issue in my house with WiFi, tried some different mesh systems and such. Finally just went back to tried and true Netgear. Easy set up, and great security! Now I have great coverage and AWEOSME speeds. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Upgrading my dual bad router to the Nighthawk AX8 tri-band doubled my wifi speeds. I have 500 mbps fiber service and I’m getting 400 mbps all over my house with this. I have around 30 connected devises and have no buffering or lag with anything. Setup took 5 minutes.
This router is useful if you live in a fairly large apartment. Comes in handy with all your smart devices with its wide coverage. You can also expect speeds of up to 800mbps if you have a 1Gbps connection.
After initial hiccups I thought I made a mistake buying this product but later on it exceeded my expectations and turned out to be the best router I have ever bought. Stable internet higher speeds and no drops at all
For years I wondered why my internet is so slow even though I am paying for fast service. My old Apple AirPort Extreme router was reliable, but I started to suspect the technology wasn’t up to date enough for the speeds I needed. Working from home only made the need for fast internet more desperate. I decided to upgrade my wireless router and the difference was like night and day. The signal is much stronger, faster and coverage area is much wider!
Produit de qualit, application de gestion ergonomique et efficace, paramtrage bien gr, on apprcie le tri-bande avec sa gestion automatique des flux selon les appareils
Good speed and distance and supports a modern house with multiple connected devices
Easy to set up using QR code.
I have a fibre connection with 920Mbps/108Mbps to the router.
Good range and wifi speeds up to 600Mbps on Wifi 6 on 5GHz.
Smart connect works well on most devices.
Easy to setup through the app although the items you can change in the app are limited. You really do need Web access to get to the nitty gritty stuff.
The new router was paired with the Netgear CM 1200 Modem and I immediately saw a jump in speeds to 200 Mbs when I was lucky to get 40 before on a 300 mbs cable plan with Xfinity. My dead zones in the house completely disappeared and my range extender is no longer needed because I can now get over 150 mbs on the other side of my house (it is a little over 2500 square feet). Very impressed with the overall performance.
all our other routers struggle to get signal through our house. not this one. fast speeds and reliable
von der Firewall und der stabilen Verbindung. Das Design ist futuristisch und ein Hingucker!
Excellent security. Excellent security great Wi-Fi speed and range and did i say excellent security? Also super simplified setup makes this a 5.5 stars.
Has filled a 4 bed house with a strong signal. It is good that it shares out the wifi over 3 transmitter to whoever needs it most that you can monitor on the app.
Excellent WiFi, much better down stairs with no loss of connection or speed, actually it’s much better than my older Netgear router.
Brought this product AX8 RAX70 to address my bad Wi-Fi, LAN and jitter issues with my virgin superhub 4. Highest test speed I got right next to the virgin router was 500Mbps at best on my iPhone. Running in modem mode and letting this take care of the routing now getting 800Mbps on Wi-Fi at last finally getting the speeds I pay virgin for and not having to reboot everyday as it was killing my Skype / teams meetings due to jitter. Even in the bedrooms I’m now getting 600-700mbps with my iPhone 11.
Had a quick look at the subscription features ok but the parental guard has limits and you have to pay to unlock premium features but the basic stuff is fine for what I need.
Downloaded the app and the set up was really easy, was up and running in minutes, spent more time getting virgin hub to run in modem mode. Once configured you have to leave the super hub off for 5-10 so the MAC address cache clears from virgin side (virgin don’t tell you this) and also don’t connect RAX70 to the hub.
The app is fine for your basic everyday needs but your need to go into the web interface to do the final config parts like having all the bandwidths as one SSID or separate them.
Overall impressed with it so far fix my terrible issues with virgin which I thought going to have to leave virgin.
Je m’y connais pas trop en rseau , dbit , box , rpteur , routeur , ect … j’ai opt pour plusieurs appareils mais seul celui-ci a vraiment rgler le problme de wifi la maison ! Connect par cable ethernet la box principale situ l’autre bout de la maison : rsultat , une vitesse de connexion hallucinante ( 3x plus qu’avec la box principale) dans une zone initalement hors de porte du signal. Juste la porte du signal en qui est pas incroyable mais vrai sinon satisfaction totale !!
Tout juste install, routeur mis l’tage pour distribuer le wifi et connexions filaires, l o le signal de la box situe au RDC ne parvenait pas. Les tests sont trs prometteurs, les connexions wifi avec Smartphone passe de 71 460 Mbps et pour les ordinateurs auparavant connects en CPL, passe de 12 plus 800 Mbps, que du bonheur. Je recommande. Pas encore plong dans les rglages du routeur.
Increble router. Slo lo podra mejorar aadiendo ms puertos ethernet.
A nice looking piece of Tech. Easy to setup. Quiet operation. Armor doesn’t slow down this beast.
Cons: WiFi not so configurable. Can’t run wifi5 only on 2.4 band and Wifi6 on 5ghz band
Easy to install whether using a modem or in bridge mode with another router. WiFi all over the house. Brillia
I have recently upgraded to a Netgear Nighthawk RAX200 router to replace my useless Virgin media hub 3.0. The new router has been a revelation. I purchased two Netgear extenders and now have full wifi coverage throughout the whole house with no blackspots. It was easy to set up although there were a few technical blips, nothing I could not sort out myself and once set up I don’t need to do a thing. I have had the router for a week and it is managing the traffic really well. We stream a lot and game on PC and Xbox series X and so far we have not noticed any lag or buffering at all. A much improved service that the VM hub 3.0. The armour security app also gives a lot of reassurance as it checks each device connected to the network for weaknesses and attempts to access. We also use the Web protection that blocks malicious sites and it seems to work better than my Norton online security. I am very pleased, thank you Netgea

Does exactly what it says on the box. Great functionality, the high speed wifi 6 is a dream. The antennas are strong enough for the 5ghz band to cover a 3 storey home and then some. Mobile app is great, so you can edit settings on the go. Overall very impressed.
Weve had terrible wifi for as long as i can remember. Recently switched to virgin and still rubbish so bought this router to plug into the virgin one. Wifi is now amazing, wishnid done it years ago!
