It has an app where you can check the speed and you can also block websites and apps on it, it also shows the speed of your Wi-Fi best purchase I’ve made
Works perfectly. Like others I have read in these reviews I had problems connecting to the internet via ethernet but was able to overcome this by connecting to the mains via the supplied power supply.
Brilliant product A1 for design & construction just plug & play, but remember to download the App & register your product after creating an account on the Netgear website.
Very pleased with my item.
Update items gone faulty & returned for refund, replacement netgear WAX204 ordered.
It is easy to set up and WiFi signal is good. The product interface is well laid out and you can find things easily. I was also able to hook it up to my ubiquiti ap and switch
This piece of kit is a amazing. My virgin router kicks out about 400mbps yet I’m getting nearer 900mbps with this. Netgear clearly better than the rubbish supplied by Virgin media.
Bought this to replace my virgin media router as I was getting terrible signal around the house. Put the VM router into modem mode, plugged it into this router, downloaded the app to configure it and it’s working perfectly. So pleased.
Automatic set up will set the basics to get online and then you can do the more advanced stuff in the advanced tab and then reboot with no need to ever go there again…
GUI options include the option to disable Lights, Which will be super helpful if the router is not hidden after full set up…
Default IP is standard Netgear 192.168.1.1… So is likely to clash with many ISP “hubs” so will need changing..
Default password is set per router and as now normal in tiny text but is a “keywords” sentence not scrambled letters and numbers, this makes login way better for the first time..
You are forced to change it the very first boot off router connection …
You do get a cheap Ethernet cable in the box still…
Plugged in EE simcard, set-up took about 3 minutes and it is up and flying. On average 4 bars gives us 50 mbps on Wednesday afternoon (I guess this is when network got throttled at its hardest), so will let it play for week or two and see how it is, if not – I will add external antennas, not a big deal.
Solid unit, easy to setup, plenty of settings inside and nice design.
Update after 2 weeks of use.
I went for external antenna, – getting ~120 mbps depending on weather. Because we use it to connect around 10 devices it was overheating a bit, so after quick Google for solution we took the battery out and sorted more powerful power source for it. End of the story, it does the job behind the computer screen and never been seen again, uptime 1 week and counting.
Was dreading replacing our old router, also Netgear, but it was very ancient. The new one was super easy to set up with our Virgin Media modem. Vastly improved speeds and excellent coverage.
After suffering from daily connection issues with our virgin super hub, I decided to buy this router and use the super hub in modem modem. I only wish I’d done this earlier! What a fantastic router which has allowed us to use multiple (18-25) devices with zero connectivity issues. A must when wfh whilst others are streaming throughout the day. Thank you netgear for a fantastic product!
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!!
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
Purchased this router as the Virgin Media HUB3 Modem/Router did not seem to be able to handle 2 people working from home (Known issue with that particular model’s Wi-Fi) and connections were constantly dropping out, forcing frequent device reboots.
The RAX10/AX1800 has completely resolved all Wi-Fi performance issues and gives good coverage to all rooms in my small house, without the need for any repeaters. The Netgear app make changing settings very easy, and I was able to give the device the old routers SSID and password, so all my devices connected without any problems. The ISPs device was switched into Modem only mode, as per their instructions and connected with an ethernet cable.
My only complaint with this particular model, is the abundance of status lights. There are 5 bright green LEDs, which flash constantly when connected. This must be have been considered by Netgear as there is an option to turn off all but the power status light, but one must be comfortable accessing the advanced settings via a web browser, as that is how I found the option to turn them off.
I did find that my Xbox was suffering lag/dropped packets in online gaming, but it appeared that the corner I had placed it in was the worst point in the house for Wi-Fi signal (as per a signal measuring app), moving it a few feet to the other side of the desk fixed this problem; so this router is only suitable for smaller houses.
Increase speed on mobile from 1.6 to 20mb in pretty poor signal area connected to external aerial and more in good signal area, i have had 60mb without aerial IE portable and do believe more to be had. can be Little tricky to set up but anyone could do it and once set up very simple you just connect as with any other WI-FI connection. Even has Ethernet connection. Portable as well and can plug in without using battery which is handy. Overall would recommend this product. Only downside it is a little pricey for what it is and haven’t rated tech support as not used as ye
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
Arrived quickly.
Set it up using the Nighthawk app which is easy to navigate. Opened my VM hub’s UI and set it to modem only and then finished set-up on the Nighthawk app. Fairly pain-free installation apart from a few niggles with our AV and VPN which were solved easily enough (which is amazing considering its having to communicate with Virgin Media junk)
The WiFi throughout the home (3 bed semi) before installing this router was awful, patchy and slow (have 500mb VM package) and Virgin Media’s solution was 2 plug-in boosters which is ok until you placed them in another room wherein they lost connection!
The WiFi after booting up the Netgear router was great, good connection throughout the home with average 400-720mb wifi test speeds.
I use this router in conjunction with a Netgear WiFi extender which enables great connection and speed in our garden some 30m and 2 solid walls away from where the extender is situated.
Feel aggrieved I had to go to this length and cost but at the same point wish I had done this years earlier.
Highly recommended (especially if you are a Virgin Media non Hub 5 user)!
Firstly, Build quality and feel in the hand are very good. The M1 is a nice looking piece of equipment.
Secondly, Ease of set up is very good. The manual is adequate and the steps can be followed with relative ease.
Thirdly and most importantly, Performance. Early days to have any real information on this aspect of the router really. I am running my the router with an O2 Data Only sim supplied by “Govivo” (Excellent Service) and with a Poynting Antenna, I had good results in a previously very intermittent data download area.
In summary, nice quality, so far good performance But quite a high price tag (260) when you compare with some other routers on the market bearing in mind it is a 4G only route
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).
This is one honest review from a guy who travels a lot and always ends up in the worst dead spots with work ARMY ! . I needed to put an end to no signal with any smart phone, after watching several videos online I began to notice a pattern with the devices people chose, and they all recommended The Netgear Nighthawk M1. So I went ahead and purchased one just last week. I was sceptical as I couldn’t even get 4G on my phone without going outside 20- 30 meters or so , and then it was intermittent. So it arrived and I plugged it in and downloaded the Netgear app and followed the instructions and booooooom I got 4G in my room ! Then it sed 4G+ ? I did a quick speed test on my phone and it was far better than my broadband at home !!!!!! I know this is a bit of a read but hopefully Iv helped someone with there issues of no signal dead spot, I have taken this home and tested it against my internet provider which was around 65MBS NETGEAR – 100MBS !! I have now cancelled my broadband ! Thank you Netgear I don’t know how you don it but your devices are epic and I could talk to my family and steam movies in a dead spot for over 3 months deployment!!!!
It’s really good and provides good speed considering the amount of devices I have connect. Very satisfied
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
Update: I got 2.5-meter mast for antenna and signal level and speed improved. So I got now 90 – 320Mbps with (3-4 bars Fair or Good signal levels). The web interface on modem provides numeric value/signal level, that you can use to adjust / point antenna close to cell direction. I got an omnidirectional antenna, and my cell not very close to the house and I don’t get a direct view to it. With the directional antenna, you can get better results (not tested, but I believe so). Used it in daily camping outside the city. Kind of nice experience to take the internet with you. Very happy with the purchase.
