Most Excellent Router! Even better now after correcting my IP's Poorly Trained Tech's Mistake.
Update: 3.9.35My previous review of the NETGEAR Nighthawk RAXE 300 was not as accurate as it should have been to properly exhibit its awesome ability to blast Wi-Fi signals as they were meant to be. Unfortunately, my internet provider, provided me with a modem that was not the right one for my setup as explained to me by a recent service technician coming to my house for a different problem. Apparently, the modem I had at the time was wasting a significant amount of my bandwidth. He switched it out with the right one and I retested the wireless speeds with the Oolkla Internet Speed Test app. Now, it turns out my speeds are consistently in the 900's (see inset picture) instead of the low 700's (see the earlier posted inset picture compliments of my previously poorly trained IP tech). (My modem is a 1Gig download and 20 Mbps upload.) Since using the right modem, the NETGEAR RAXE 300, has no problem broadcasting and maintaining the faster speeds. There's no signal drop, just solid WIFI. I'm using the RAXE300 as an access point and it is connected to a NETGEAR RAXE600 with 100 feet of CAT 6 Ethernet cable and to now be getting almost maximum modem speeds at that distance is a tremendous tribute to NETGEAR's engineering. My highest recommendations are for this NETGEAR RAXE300 Router for reasonable cost, excellent design and unbelievable consistent range and speeds.A while back I had purchased a NETGEAR Nighthawk RAXE500 router because I couldn't get decent speeds at the other end of the house where I spend the majority of my time with previous routers and had even tried an extender without much improvement. Still not satisfied with the modest improvement with the RAXE500 because of too many barriers throughout the house, I made the decision to buy this NETGEAR RAXE300 and set it up as an Access Point after running one hundred feet of CAT 6e ethernet cable to connect the two. I called NETGEAR Tech Support just to make sure I had a clean install from the beginning and I'm really glad I did, they were excellent to work with and what was once only a dream, now is a reality because as you can see by the inset picture, I'm getting a solid 700 plus Wi-Fi download speeds from my 1 Gbps download, 20 Gbps upload modem at the other end of the house. The router was simple to set up, no hiccups from start to finish. I get consistent speeds all day long and the app you can download for your phone makes it easy to log on from anywhere to check on it or make changes. The router itself is a very cool looking piece of electronic wizardry and has 6 strategically placed antennas placed throughout the wings. I give this NETGEAR RAXE300 5 Stars for cool design, consistency of speeds, ease of setup and cost to emotional value.

Security is great!
The Netgear Nighthawk AX6 (RAX54S) has been one of the easiest routers I’ve owned, it set up in just a few minutes with the app, and the Wi-Fi 6 speeds are fast enough to handle streaming, gaming, and lots of devices all at once without slowing down. Coverage is strong throughout my home, and I really like having the built-in security and parental controls included. The day after I set it up it alerted me that it blocked a DoS attack. It feels like a great balance of speed, features, and reliability without being overly complicated.

Handles All Our Devices with Ease!
We picked up the NETGEAR Nighthawk AX6 (RAX54S) on sale and couldn’t be happier with the upgrade. After years of dealing with spotty connections and high rental fees from our ISP’s router, we finally decided to invest in our own—and it’s made a world of difference.Setup was quick and straightforward, and we immediately noticed improved coverage throughout the entire house. With multiple people streaming, gaming, and working online at the same time, this router hasn’t missed a beat. No more buffering during movie nights or lag during video calls!It’s fast, reliable, and has already paid for itself just by ditching the monthly rental fees. Highly recommend this to any family looking for better performance and savings.

Works great for the price
Great unit! App has worked fine so far and the setup was super easy. Did a firmware update automatically and it was off to the races. Main reason I picked this unit was for the range. Works awesome with the Wyze cameras on the outside of the house and the ones on adjacent buildings about 100ft away. Pretty impressed

Fast and efficient.
I'm very impressed with this router. My old modem is a router/modem combination and you could really feel the slowness. I was getting emailed weekly by my internet providing telling me I could experience better service if I just got an upgrade. While my plan is to also get an entirely new modem which will be from Netgear, this wifi router has been a life saver. I haven't once lost Internet since using it. Our home devices have had 0 issues with disconnects or slowed down speeds due to too many devices being connected at once. If you work from home like me, get this device!I only have one complaint which isn't about the product itself. You are forced to download an app and make a whole user/account set up. I do wish I could just plug it in and be done with it after the initial set up. I definitely miss the times where we didn't need apps or to create entire accounts when buying new electronics. The product is still amazing overall.

Quick and easy set up and better Wi-Fi service than my old router
This router actually works better than my original spectrum router. I got it at a good price and it saves me $10 a month on my Internet bill. Also, it was easier than I thought it would be to set it up and there was some support from The company in case I had an issue setting it up. As a 65-year-old female I found it pretty easy to set up.

Fast, Easy Set-Up, Good Coverage
AX300 6e Tri-Band bought to replace my NetGear AC1750 that has served me well. Ease of Set-Up using my iPhone was very nice. Covers my whole house and patio areas of 2,000 Sq.Ft. NeatGear speed test showed 940Bps near enuff to 1G and 490Bps thru my iPhone Xfinity Speed test @ 11ms. thru my Xfinity cable Internet connection.Not the latest 7 Standard but is more than adequate for my needs and has the new 6GHz band when needed. Because of new standard It’s @ a very good price point now-I recommend!

Netgear Nighthawk is Awesome!
We have a decent size home and needed more coverage. The Netgear Nighthawk has met that need and surpassed my expectations. Easy to set up, great looking unit, and performance is way better than expected.
