NETGEAR Nighthawk 4-Stream AX4 Wi-fi 6 Router (RAX40) – AX3000 Wireless Speed (Up to 3 Gbps) | 1,500 Sq Ft Coverage

Worked like a charm on 100MBS service.

Don't waste your time getting the new AX (wifi 6) tech since its not readily available in devices they said. Don't spend the money cause its gonna be like a normal router for a couple of years until more are released.Let me tell you - ignore that. This is a BEAST. I spent 3+ weeks trying out different solutions on wifi. I tried Orbi mesh. While that is a good product, I am not really in need of a mesh. Speeds averaged 460-525 Mbps. (I tested at different times of day but same time frames with other products).I tried the XR500 Nighthawk that is one of the highest rated devices with DumaOS. So many issues that I was losing my mind. I tried several fixes. Separate the bands, channels, etc. My security cams were going offline every 30 mins or so for at least 15. I was so fed up with trying to trouble shoot the device. My speeds were 580 - 670 Mbps with it which I did enjoy. But speed is only useful if its actually CONNECTED to the devices.Last ditch effort I tried this router. The RAX80 and holy moly. Plugged in, used the mobile app and was up within 5 mins. Every device attached with no issues. No disconnects after multiple days use. Speed improvement on every item. I have 38 devices accessing my wifi as part of the smart home. This monster just cranks it out. No problems at all. My speed on several tests as compared to the same day/ time as the ones above - 830-960 Mbps I am not sure why its such a huge improvement but it is. I cannot say enough good things about this router. Not only is is a monster with handling speeds and multiple devices - just look at it. It is not one you want to hide. You want to show this baby off. Several people have asked me what the space ship is. This thing went from being in an Amazon box to installed and cranking out wifi / lan within 10 minutes and NOT a single drop of signal. I am future proof as well. So I say if you can afford it, do not hesitate. You will really like it.EDIT:After 2 months this router is still the best one I've ever seen. Still getting top level speeds right at a gig. I've got 42 devices attached to it (smart home) and it doesn't even cough. I rarely am this surprised. This router is still #1 in everything I tried!

First off, I bought this to replace a 6yo Apple Airport Time Capsule. While not the best in any one area, the Airport was reliable, standard AC/Wifi5, and had a great app user interface. This router is fairly reliable if properly placed, the next generation AX/Wifi6, and while the app user interface is extremely basic the browser interface most options available.The main draw to Wifi 6 this early was the OFDMA which speeds up AC devices. With about 45 devices on the network this helps a lot when combined with MU-MIMO. I've not had the connection issues reported by multiple users The only devices that has intermittent connection issues is an old iPad Air and iPad Mini 2, both with 802.11n.There are lots of little problems with this device but most of them from my usage are fit and finish. This includes the lack of control for combining the 2.4 and 5GHz signals (Smart Connect), continuous drop of saved device names and icons, weak VPN configuration options, and 5 out of 7 buttons on the app do virtually nothing (one even tries to sell you a support package; device list and firmware update are the only 2 that are useful). Overall these can be fixed with a firmware update.I’m just hoping they can focus on it before they turn their attention to all the new CES products they just announced. Lots of work to do.Update drop from 4 to 2 stars (25FEB20): The hardware stills seems good but the firmware is just poorly executed. They need to put time into it I stress of pushing out scores of different products. The way it is makes it nearly impossible to manage.Update drop from 2 to 1 star (11MAR20): I now sorely regret this purchase. The firmware and interface are basically worthless. Just trying to mange the devices on the network takes no less than 10 steps, per device, in a browser. You can’t even manage device access by time. Oh yeah, parental controls? None at all. The phone app is pretty much worthless except to manually turn devices on and off. Now it seems that sometimes it doesn’t work, forcing me to reset the router to get the access to those devices back.I’m now trying to figure out how to use the old router for DHCP and this one as an access point. I can then enjoy all the controls this SHOULD have from my now 7yo router and keep the speed of the AX chipset. Wish me luck.Update can't drop any further (13JUN20): Still no updates, no granular parental control (just on or off for all), no refinement in the web browser dashboard, and no new access to the features it does have through the limited app. I think they've given up on supporting the Nighthawk router line; "just sell as many as we can while they're in stock and kick them to the curb". About a month ago I made this router an AP to the Apple Time Capsule. Even as restrictive (and old) as that router is, it is easier to use and has more useful features than this. Bonus, I get the Wifi 6 advantages without the headaches and don't notice when it disconnects without warning.Oh goody, another update (30DEC20). So I still don’t use this as a router which is probably wise. Just used the app to check for firmware updates. “Firmware is up to date” at 1.0.3.102. Netgear website has firmware 1.0.3.106. Another “fail” by the Netgear team. Really embarrassing.This time it is a security update (07OCT21). The iOS app is so hobbled you can’t even use it without signing into a company server and giving Netgear access to every device on your network. Then they require notifications be turned on. What next, SSN? The firmware isn’t capable of downloading the update so I had to Google the firmware update and do it manually. Still no parental controls. For the love of God, DON’T buy Nighthawk. They don’t give a crap about support. Stay away!!!Yet another update (27NOV21). Another Netgear security vulnerability requires another update. Once again the firmware asks if you want to update it but just sits there and cycles the browser. I waited an hour and when I refreshed I was back where I started. Once again I have to Google the firmware, download it, unzip it, and tell this stupid device where to find it. This is becoming tiresome.
