NETGEAR Nighthawk 6-Stream Dual-Band WiFi 6 Router (RAX54S) – Security Features, AX5400 Wireless Speed, Up to 5.4 Gbps, Covers up to 2,500 sq. ft., 25 Devices - 1-Year Armor Subscription Included

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.

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.

I got this router for my home office as a remote pharmacy employee. I have 1 GBPS fiber with a company supplied modem and in the 2 weeks I've had it there have been no faults in the router or interruptions to my service. It claims it's good for 3 bedrooms 25 devices and it's good for that. I have a 5 bedroom house with the router set up in the basement and it reaches up to the 2nd floor flawlessly with very minimal even negligible loss of connectivity. It was a breeze to setup with the app, only took 10 minutes start to finish! Strongly recommend this router especially with all the opportunity to increase the bandwidth in the future.

Simple set-up, I prefer the Web page router set up over the App, but that is a personla preference. Speeds are good, WiFi range is good.

Purchased this to get updated (faster speeds) from old router which was bogged down from all the wireless items we use. This unit also provides a larger coverage area for wi-fi, which has eliminated dead/weak spots. It also handles up to 25 devices, so I am covered for not just my desktop computers and TV's, but also our laptops, tablets, cell phones, Alexa devices, Roku, Xbox, and wi-fi cameras around my property. Easy set up and great performance including for gaming. It is everything I needed.

Ordered this router because my network provided router wasn’t enough for our house. This router came recommended and it was so worth it!!It is wicked fast, strong signal throughout the house, and easy to set up! I would order again in a heartbeat.

Works fine as a router. However, when the kids came home from college for the summer we bumped up against the ISP's monthly data usage limits. Without device statistics I have no good way to point at anyone to tell them to cut it out.Moved it over to a bedroom as an AP and grabbing a new main router for the house.
