After years of dealing with Verizon's terrible proprietary router, I decided to go ahead and just try to manage my own router myself and had prior experience with NETGEAR and their devices so I figured why not, let's try their Nighthawk model. Price tag is steep, so I went with the model I felt most comfortable with for what I needed.Let me tell you, this device is nothing short of amazing. The set-up is so simple and easy that I was really surprised at how uniquely user-friendly it was to put together. It's almost literally plug-and-play, download the app, set up the SSID name and password and you're good to go. That's it!The app is ridiculously good in terms of providing a sense of complete control over your wireless environment and the 1-year free ... MoreAfter years of dealing with Verizon's terrible proprietary router, I decided to go ahead and just try to manage my own router myself and had prior experience with NETGEAR and their devices so I figured why not, let's try their Nighthawk model.

It notifies you the moment a new device connects and it does a vulnerability check to make sure that device doesn't have anything that could compromise the security of your network. It gives you the ability to test the connection speed direct to the router and allows you to create profiles for parental controls.The full parental control experience seems to be locked behind another subscription as well, which is my only gripe about this is that (along with everything else in 2023) there's subscription services attached. However, even without paying for it, it does what I need it to do without a problem.Ever since I started with this, I've had zero connectivity issues (unlike Verizon's router), I've had greater speeds than the Verizon model on all my devices, and above all else, I feel like I'm in control of my home network again. It's great.

Pros: --Very fast 2.5G port can fully utilize my 2G connection. --Built-in SpeedTest.net function. --Many configuration options, but...Cons: --...It's missing basic features, like a bandwidth usage graph (overall and per device), and that log data is NOT saved during a power cycle. --It's physically huge. --Wifi 6E has a range of about 6 ft before the signal starts dropping significantly. --Signal strength is very inconsistent on all 3 frequencies. --Not stable. Mine requires a weekly (or more) reboot. --Bitdefender seemed fine, EXCEPT that in order to use the desktop clients, the router MUST be on the network. My router failed, so I powered it off. Next day all of my Bitdefender clients refused to login and run.Overall: This router is NOT ready for primetime. ... MorePros: --Very fast 2.5G port can fully utilize my 2G connection. --Built-in SpeedTest.net function. --Many configuration options, but...Cons: --...It's missing basic features, like a bandwidth usage graph (overall and per device), and that log data is NOT saved during a power cycle. --It's physically huge. --Wifi 6E has a range of about 6 ft before the signal starts dropping significantly. --Signal strength is very inconsistent on all 3 frequencies. --Not stable.

After disconnecting every device, the upload was still being flooded, and the only device left was the router itself. My best guess is that it was hacked and used to DDOS something.

Purchased this router to replace a Nighthawk R9000 that had served me well for many years. Upgraded to gain access to WiFi 6 and also needed a router that could easily handle the demands of a household with an ever increasing number of connected devices (e.g., gaming, streaming, surfing, smartphone, etc.), especially when kids are home from college. This device has proved to be a winner and delivers performance as advertised. Set-up was easy, signal strength is better in remote parts of my home and the performance has been excellent thus far.I considered stepping up to the Orbi but liked the simplicity of configuring a single device and also liked the more economical price. As mentioned earlier, swapping out an older Nighthawk for this one is super simple.

I bought the original Nighthawk back in 2014. It’s still kicking almost a decade later. Now that I have kids, I decided to upgrade so there’s no issues with the vast amount of demand in my house compared to a decade ago. I have nothing but praise for Netgear. I knew there was no other brand I could consider. When I found out that Nighthawks were still going strong and had only gotten better, I could do only one thing but upgrade to the best router I’ve ever owned. Multiple people will be streaming games and watching tv simultaneously and there’s zero connectivity issues with dozens of devices connected and running at once. It’s able to support my 1GB internet with ease and the WiFi speeds now rival hardwired devices. I love the fact that this router supports all ... MoreI bought the original Nighthawk back in 2014.

I’m looking forward to another decade with a Netgear Nighthawk reliably in my home.
I have about 25 devices on the network, and they seem to all be doing just fine. I did notice at least one device on the wi-fi 6 band, but it doesn’t seem any different than the other bands of wi-fi. During setup, I changed the default SSID and password, and then for some reason it made me restart the entire startup process. Once the setup was completed again, I reset the SSID and password. The router then did a firmware update and made me complete the setup again, for a third time. Once again I changed my SSID and password and thankfully, it has been steady since then. I already had the app installed from my previous router and altogether, the setup took about an hour from unboxing to solid connection to all devices. I did read some reviews about power outages ... MoreI have about 25 devices on the network, and they seem to all be doing just fine.

I did read some reviews about power outages requiring a new setup, but thankfully my power supply is quite reliable and have not encountered the problems other reviewers have mentioned. I have a smart tv, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 connected via LAN and don’t notice any improvements over my previous Nighthawk (which is now discontinued). My fiber internet is labeled as 100mb to the modem and with the Nighthawk app I am getting a constant 114-115mb download over wi-fi. Overall a good router for LAN and wi-fi.
I recently purchased the NETGEAR Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router (RAXE300) and I must say I'm thoroughly impressed! One of the standout features is its powerful 1.7GHz quad-core processor, which makes a noticeable difference in speed and performance.Setting up the router was a breeze and the user interface is very user-friendly. I appreciate that the router comes with ample Ethernet ports for connecting multiple devices, as well as a USB port for external storage. The tri-band technology allows for more efficient data transmission, resulting in faster speeds and improved overall performance.What's even better is that this router is Wi-Fi 6E compatible, which means I'm future-proofed for years to come.

Overall, I highly recommend the NETGEAR Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router (RAXE300) for anyone in need of a reliable and high-performance router.
The Netgear Nighthawk RAXE300 not only resembles a state of the art stealth fighter, it also takes total command and control of the WiFi air space just like stealth fighter aircraft take complete ownership of their air-based environment. Quite seriously, since installing the Nighthawk router, I have experienced nothing but WiFi bliss. Unbelievably easy to install and operate using excellent step-by-step instructions provided by NetGear; a well designed and user friendly phone app for monitoring everything important about the router and its performance; and most importantly, a super reliable speed-of-light connection to the internet. And even though the routers specs indicate a coverage area of around 2500 sq ft, I live in a house that is somewhat larger and every ... MoreThe Netgear Nighthawk RAXE300 not only resembles a state of the art stealth fighter, it also takes total command and control of the WiFi air space just like stealth fighter aircraft take complete ownership of their air-based environment.

And even though the routers specs indicate a coverage area of around 2500 sq ft, I live in a house that is somewhat larger and every single inch is covered with excellent service. I am not a robot, nor am I a computer guy, but as a reasonably normal human I swear that the Nighthawk RAXE300 is a fantastic router that will far exceed expectations. I didn’t know that WiFi could be so sweet simply by installing a NetGear Nighthawk router. And with the name “Nighthawk,” it even sounds cool.
I bought the RAXE300 to replace my R8000P which had been great until it began to fail. I picked the RAXE300 due to having a family that streams a lot. The wifi 6E feature was a curiousity. So far I am really impressed with the coverage the wifi is providing compared to teh R8000P. I have full signal strength through my 2400 SQFT house, where the R8000P has dead spots. During the initial setup I tested the router with my cellphone to make sure the wifi was working. I put my cellphone in airplane mode and notice the 6e signal disappeared. Not that it was a problem, just the unexpected operation of the 6e network being tied to my cell antenna.The setup is the typical netgear web interface.

I have attempted to do with with 4 different routers in the last couple years, and this one is no exception.All in all I am very pleased with the router after a week of service.
Exceptional hardware which is shackled by overly simplistic software. You cannot change the name of the admin account from 'admin' for example. This is Basic Networking 101 and the foundation for every further security step in even basic networks. You cannot blacklist IPs from attempting to probe your network. The router cannot lockout IPs for XX minutes after Y number of failed admin logon attempts. These are all rudimentary security options.I expect a router with this price tag to carry at least the bare minimum of simple security tools to protect customers. If the security suite for this router can be implemented this would be the perfect router. Great wireless range, ample wired ports and fantastic transfer speeds.
I now have Netgear Xfinity cable data and voice modem, separate Netgear router and a Netgear wifi extender. They replaced Xfinity rental modem/router. No amount of telephone contact could get the Xfinity equipment to work. Several hours of SMS chat with Xfinity got the Netgear purchased modem working. The router and extender setup with the Nighthawk app was seamless. Speed tests show a dramatic improvement between Xfinity rental equipment and Netgear. I've been paying for 600 mbs for years and never got more than 250 mbs download. With Netgear the measure of download is 700 mbs on the Nighthawk app speed test and 260 on OpenSignal app? I use Opensignal app for speed tests. With Xfinity modem/rounter many apps and devices stopped working. Everything now works.

I shall go through it to see what I can do with the router. The network disk drive looks interesting. I need to know more about Netgear Armour before I try it. I will look for the documentation. I have Apple iPhones, iPad, Apple TV, Windows 7 and 10 computers, Android cell phone, Samsung Android A7 tablet and a Sonicdust HDHomerun ATSC 3.0 OTA TV tuner on my home network. All are now working. I could not say this for the Xfinity modem/router.
