Netgear Nighthawk 5-Stream AX3600 Dual-Band WiFi 6 Router (up to 3.45Gbps) - RAX41

I purchased the Netgear Nighthawk RAX41 primarily because I needed more control over my home network. I run a home server for media streaming and other services, and the Google Fiber puck I was previously using made port forwarding more difficult and unreliable than it needed to be. After switching to the Nighthawk, I was able to configure the necessary ports and network settings much more easily.The router has been a major improvement for my home-server setup. Connections to the server are stable, local streaming works smoothly, and I have not experienced the random connectivity issues I was

Sometime in spring/early summer 2025 I was having issues playing everquest. I put up with it for way too long. After getting a new computer I still had issues. Testing withing everquest was showing 10% sent packet loss. Remoting into work also felt slow.Web packet loss testing was showing 25% sent loss and lower but significant receive loss. Spectrum couldn't find an issue.After installing this the web test shows 0% packet loss both ways and everquest shows 0.0x% loss.The set up was a bit more cumbersome than expected but if you follow the instructions step by step you will be fine. You can th

Replaced my old router with this and the difference was immediate. Covers my entire house, no more dead zone in the back bedroom, and I've got well over 20 devices on it between phones, TVs, cameras and smart home stuff. It doesn't even flinch. Setup through the app was straightforward and I haven't had to touch it since. If you've got a full house of devices fighting over bandwidth, this handles it.

If you are looking for a long range high speed router you should buy this one! It is perfect for all needs!

Avoid Netgear RoutersNetgear used to make good stuff. I purchased the Nighthawk AX3600 based on good reviews. Once received my first clue there was going to be an issue is that they want you to use the Netgear Armor app to set it up. However, you have to agree to the $100 subscription in order to setup the router that you just bought. No problem, just use the ethernet cable and login to 192.168.1.1. After multiple logins and reboots, it appears to work. However, only the 2.4ghz network is broadcasting. the 5ghz network is no where to be found. Then it booted me out from the direct connection a

This router is working great. You can put 5 or 6 devices on it. Reasonable price and has an app that makes it easy to install and controls everything from it. Shows your speed and has a guest wi fi on the app also. Good buy!

This item works but not great but some what good. For it to be an upgrade from my previous Nighthawk, the distance that it supposed to rich it really doesn't and if it did reach it it buffers a lot. Like when trying to use a device that uses wifi in the garage the wifi will lag.
