Our old Netgear router suddenly failed and so I explored Amazon’s Netgear offerings to replace it. This unit was delivered the same day I ordered it and took less than 15 minutes to setup with the app on my phone. Technology has certainly advanced since our last router purchase. This Nighthawk system is so powerful that it reaches the far ends of the house where formerly we needed a booster to have adequate signal. The booster is retired! And the speed increase for wireless connections is instantly apparent. We couldn’t be happier with the Nighthawk performance.

Super easy setup – literally just made sure I had the latest Nighthawk app installed on my phone (this unit replaced a 5 year old Nighthawk), unplugged my old router, plugged this one in and followed the instructions on the app. Really was a seamless process. We have alot of smart home devices installed (appliances, Alexa, thermostat, lights, etc.) and I was concerned about the daunting task of having to update all of those. With the Nighthawk app, I was able to use the same username/pwd as we originally had so I did not have to update any of the devices. That was a huge time saver and a really big plus imo. As I mentioned, this was replacing a 5 year old Nighthawk which still worked but since I work remotely and depend on wifi, we purchased a new unit during Prime Days. Works really well so far. Very pleased.

This router quickly and easily replaced my old Netgear router. Simple to set up all my devices and get internet going to all of them. Good thing about the Netgear routers is the update support that has always been an easy flawless update process when security needs an update. The updates are quick and your network is smoothly back in business. Always recommend a Netgear Router for good networking!

We had an older model Netgear that started lagging badly. Apparently they get outdated. This one works great so far!

Total game changer! Upgraded from a Linksys AC3200 to the Netgear AX 6600 because, I was tired of slow connection speeds and constantly loosing a signal, even after I upgrading from 500 MBPS to 1 GBPS. Holy smokes! I no longer drop from Teams and Google meetings! There is nothing worse than dropping offline while in a client meeting. Buffering and watching the spinny wheel days are over! I wish I had upgraded to this router sooner! Exceptional speed and coverage throughout my 2800 sq ft home. No need for wifi extenders, even in the backyard! Super easy setup, which was my biggest concern, since I had over 20 devices connected to my previous router. Reliability and speed is what I was looking for, and although it’s a little pricey, this router efficiently manages numerous devices connected simultaneously without sacrificing speed or stability. Totally worth every penny!

I’m one of those senior citizens who so often needs tech support setting up new hard- or soft- ware. In this case, it could not have gone more smoothly. I downloaded the app, followed the directions and was running in 5 minutes (including a firmware update). The signal is stronger than with the old router and I even removed the extender required with our previous router. We really couldn’t be more pleased.

This Netgear router is easy to setup and will provide a good wifi 6 connection. It is not the higher level triband wifi router but for the price this 2.4/5hz dual band should suit your needs. I went with this RAX54s since I tried a higher level wifi 7 (RS280S) and only my laptop and cell had wifi access. I figured my Netgear POE switch and surveillance cameras were not current to take advantage of the latest router technology. Overall good speeds and it is way too early to comment on the reliability. Less than one hour to setup and get everything going at almost half the price of the RS280S.

I’m pleased with the capacity of range and impressive security departures it provides. It came highly recommended from my internet service provider’s service technicians, those who are actually in the field, those who show up at your home to troubleshoot and provide technical support. Definitely a great product I would recommend to anyone!

3 or 4 yrs ago I bought a Nighthawk AC2600. Buying new security cameras, I needed a more powerful and wider range Wifi router and wanted to stay with Netgear. Landed on the Nighthawk AX6 (RAX54S). Setup was flawless and works soo much better, and range is is excellent! Well we’ll worth the money and it’s already paying dividends! Netgear for the Win!

I’m quite pleased with this thing. I’ve never paid much attention to wifi speed, distance and direction. The specifics of the installation location for this device required me to direct the signal down a fairly long all and corner. This device is handling that with ease. I haven’t had to reboot it yet, which most wifi routers seem to require daily these days. I was considering the next level tri-band unit, but when this RAX54S gave me solid 1Gb wirelessly, I was both pleased and contented with my purchase. I do have it managing the PPPoE connection my fiber provider required. I replaced their POS router with this one and haven’t had a single problem.Update: 70 days so far, Zero Problems. Love it.Thank you, NetGear.
