Coming from the Nighthawk R7000, this has been quite the jump. The process of finding a decent 5G band was mostly painless, and I have yet to test any 6G devices. TheMy only complaints really come from small quirks in the firmware's web UI that deviate from the previous router for the same effect (port mapping, attached device management, auto-update). These won't matter much to someone not coming from a previous Netgear router.Also not a fan of Netgear Armor being applied by default if the company is just going to ask for subscription money later. My only other wish would be for one more 2.5Gbps port. For the price Netgear charges, that isn't asking for much.Works flawlessly in tandem with an Arris SB8200

The parental controls and netgeargear security are garbabge, we just leave them off. When we turned netgear security on it would actually drop wifi signal and reboot. This is a known issue and you can read about it from other users, just leave it off. However, once we turned that stuff off we have had no other issues. We have a RING security system with 5 cameras, we have about 20 smart wifi exterior garage lights and numorous other devices. The router says we have around 60 devices. And they all work great. We have air tv to get local channals via SLING, so you hook up you antenna that is hooked up to a hard drvie that then transmits our local channals throughout our home network to are roku devices. Works great, however, this was too much for are previous router. ... MoreThe parental controls and netgeargear security are garbabge, we just leave them off.

Also, we had an issue with our ring cameras not consistently following its light schedule. I thought it was due to the camera itself so i called ring and they sent me a new camera (they have a lifetime warrenty), however the old camera did the same thing. Are old router was the netgear R7000 which i though was pretty nice but our new router resolved these issues. Now everything just works so nicely. So if your having problems with you devices, it may kust be network conjestion. I took 1 star off because their security sucks and they charge for it.

Just recently purchased axe11000, had a cable company wireless router prior. I can already see an immediate difference in terms of device connectivity huge. Upgrade for my family. The app is extremely intuitive and highlights security and connectivity. Was considering the orbit, however, due to the size of my residence and family members gaming found this product to align with our needs well. And price was extremely competitive to ultimately allow me to make this purchase. The 6E bandwidth is extremely synchronous for our compatible devices making it much easier to allow us to get the best speed for our devices.

Coming from the nighthawk series of routers, Netgear does a few things extremely well year over year. Specifically, their NAT. If you have multiple (4+) xboxes or PS, netgear always works well with an open nat where I have found other brands to have issues. However, where netgear struggles is really been high quality launches. I've noticed some instability with wifi that I did not experience in previous products. Though, with each firmware update it seems to get better. Wifi performance and speed is excellent, and it does get slightly more range that my nighthawk did. I wish it went an extra couple of feet but at least it's an improvement. Overall, high quality product that I would recommend. Only thing I wish it had was better information about your network ... MoreComing from the nighthawk series of routers, Netgear does a few things extremely well year over year.

Seriously what an improvement over my previous mesh system. I had eero before and it just wasn't providing my family and I with consistent performance throughout the home. I spent a long time researching routers and this bad boy provides. Easy setup and out of the box performance is incredible. We have 1GB internet and wirelessly throughout the house we see anywhere from 500-700MB/s speeds and that includes outside along the perimeter of the house. Insane! Also, I’m heavily invested in HomeKit and smart equipment. Eero failed to connect them consistently and I was constantly reconnecting them to my network. With this router I have zero issue with my IoT devices. Connect without issue and just work. Overall, super happy with the purchase and highly recommend.
I had a NETGEAR - Nighthawk AX5400 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router. It was great, but I needed more. That’s where the NETGEAR - Nighthawk AXE11000 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router. This router is MORE than I expected. With its wifi 6e 6GHz technology. I was really surprised at how fast this router is! It advertises that it covers up to 3500 sq. ft. And I believe it! I have a single level home at almost 3000 sq. ft. And it has no problems with coverage. I also have four tv’s, five computers, four iPads, and four gaming consoles and have no problems with gaming, watching programming or movies or whatever we are doing when the internet and streaming. The is is a really great product! As time goes on I can’t wait to see what I can more this router can handle.
Solid for the most part. Pulling about 800 mbps down with 1.2 gbps plan through xfinity. Three items of note:1. This router/firmware does NOT have smart parental controls. Was willing to pay for subscription, but it doesn’t have it.2. Smart Connect should be offered for guest network. Not ideal that you have to have 3 guest networks if you want all 3 bands available.3. All of my iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) stay connected to the wifi, but lose internet about once a day. After extensive trouble shooting, realized it’s the bitdefender for armor app. Overall it’s a solid product and will keep armor subscription, but slightly annoying I have to disconnect/reconnect wifi or restart web protection within bitdefender for armor app to get internet to work again.

This is my fourth Netgear router because each one just keeps getting better than the one before it. Two of my prior three are still in service at other homes. This router is the fastest one to date and has the advantage of Wi-Fi 6 e. This is still a relatively new form of very high speed Wi-Fi that runs on a different band from 2.4 and 5 gig. But it is currently available in this router and two of my Samsung Galaxy smartphones are already designed to take advantage of the faster speeds. In all truthfulness this router has the chops to keep up with all 40 devices in our home including streaming televisions in 4K and phones tablets computers and what have you. I'm very pleased with this and expected flawless performance and that's exactly what I have gotten. I paired ... MoreThis is my fourth Netgear router because each one just keeps getting better than the one before it. Two of my prior three are still in service at other homes.

I paired this with the Netgear cable modem cm2000 which helps provide the speed that I need to power the Netgear 6 enhanced router. I never go wrong with Netflix.
I knew I needed to replace my old router so I started the arduous investigation process. Looked at five different brands, many different models and got more and more uncertain. I tend to always look at the 1 star reviews to read the reason for the low rating. I'm starting to think they are all written by that products competitors. :) I took the plunge and ignored this router's naysayers and I'm glad I did. Easy to set up, powerful features, improved performance and much greater security by using the app, guest wifi and Netgear Armor. I love it and would highly recommend it based upon my experience. Unless you have something unusual going on where you are going to deploy this, I have to think you will very happy.
Recently upgraded from an X10 R9000 Nighthawk Router since this router just approached four years old. This new router is almost twice as much as the old one in terms of cost. But so far, this new router seems to have solved my wifi range issues from the old one. My ring door bell on my front door is now reporting much better network connectivity. I can now remove my Netgear Mesh Extender. It seems that all my 2Ghz devices are doing much better as well (cameras, garage, printer, etc.) For cons, the 5Ghz range seems a little slower compared to the old router. I also had to disable Netgear Armor after a day since I had no idea that Netgear Armor automatically installs. Having Netgear Armor slows down my internet speeds drastically from 900MBS to about 200MBS on my ... MoreRecently upgraded from an X10 R9000 Nighthawk Router since this router just approached four years old.

I also had to disable Netgear Armor after a day since I had no idea that Netgear Armor automatically installs. Having Netgear Armor slows down my internet speeds drastically from 900MBS to about 200MBS on my wired connections. I had to reboot the router after disabling Netgear Armor from the Nighthawk app. I was able to print out my old wifi settings from my old router first, and was able to eventually manually configure this new router and it just worked eventually using the web interface initially. Afterwards, I just downloaded and installed my Nighthawk app, and discovered that configuration, firmware updates, etc. can be done as well from the Nighthawk app too. Another con is that I can't seem to connect my MSI Raider laptop to the 6ghz range so far. I'm hoping that future 6E devices can work seamlessly with this new router including hopefully the iPhone 14, etc. The firmware that came with this router seems to be the latest version, so no need to upgrade firmware yet. Overall, I'm satisfied with this new router so far. Here's to another four years hopefully.
