NETGEAR Nighthawk 6-Stream AX5400 WiFi 6 Router (RAX50) - AX5400 Dual Band Wireless Speed (Up to 5.4 Gbps) | 2,500 sq. ft. Coverage

I chose this router to update my wifi in the house, my criteria was coverage and speed since the old router was starting to show it's age.After reading the reviews the Netgear RAX 120 was my choice, it has the coverage at 3500 sqft and the speed hit the target, an added plus was multi device usage without the lag.To address some issues I have seen in reviews.1. Set up: From what I saw in most unsat reviews the people that were unhappy used the app to setup the router. I started with this process and quickly saw how this could be frustrating. I would HIGHLY recommend you hardwire setup with pc,

I'll try to be brief. I'm a retired tech and IT professional and well versed in troubleshooting computer networks and equipment. I am shocked that Netgear continues to sell this product. I read the negative reviews, many of which are a few years old, but ignored them thinking either that the problem must be fixed by now, or in my arrogance I assumed I could resolve the issue.When it's working, the router is good, but as many other reviewers have reported, it has an annoying habit of dropping wifi signal. The transmitter is usually down only briefly, perhaps 30 seconds, but when there are dozen

Netgear has been my choice for many upgrades and new installations.Until now, the hardware AND software worked great.The FUNCTION of the device is perfect, no glitches and set up within minutes.The complaint I have is the, in my opinion, poorly written software. I used the computer interface to access the setup and monitoring of the router. It fails to list ALL the attached devices, sometimes missing a couple or more in the list, and from looking at the assigned IP address at the connected device, I not only know it is there, but can enter that address into my browser and connect. Yet the rout

Upgraded from an Nighthawk X6 (R8000) to the RAX120. There are noticable speed improvements over the prior 5 year old router.Pros:Faster, longer range connectivity.Support for WPA3-PERSONAL/WPA2-AES simultaneously.Future proof for upcoming AX/WiFi 6 connectionsAnyone using Android Q will be able to use WPA3-------------Cons:Price: I only purchased this model because it was $100 off at the time.Support: Netgear support is a joke. I'm fortunate to have not been in need of it, but for those that do... good luck.Setup: WARNING this is not for beginners. The Nighthawk app is absolute trash. I bring

Purchased two of these so I can run one as a bridge to a home theater on the other side of my house. Setting the first one up was impossible using their recommended method of: 1) Install the app on my smart phone, 2) scan a QR code, and 3) going through the steps. The Android app absolutely would not connect to control panel of the router, despite my phone's wifi having connected to the router's wifi. OK, so I opened chrome on my phone, went to 192.168.1.1, and logged in with the default passwords. This brought up the control panel with little to no effort.Initial setup will greet you with ser

TL;DR - it's a great router with great capability. I was surprised at the ease of use and ease of configuration. It has great range, can handle multiple devices simultaneously, and has no problems with handling access to network storage. There are a ton of bells-and-whistles options that may or may not come in handy for the average user. It is expensive for a reason but the features are well worth it.This is the best router I have ever used, period. I bought one nearly 2 years ago when they first came out and I bought another one, here on Amazon, recently. This particular one was purchased to

I have had many Netgear routers throughout the years and had good results with the majority. My family household streams television as our primary source of entertainment and we subscribe to 500mbps of internet speed from the local cable company.About 1.5 years ago, my brother bought me the R9000 model and it was a beast until a power surge killed it. Fortunately, he purchased the warranty insurance from Amazon and square trade refunded the money in full.In 2019 I purchased a r6700 from Amazon during a lightening sale as a backup and I am glad that I did. I put this router into service when th

I have been trying to make this router (and the replacement Amazon sent) work with my network for over a month and failed... Which sucks because I been loyal to Netgear for over a decade and their new products (this and the R8500) really suck.TLDR Don't buy it or return it and get something that works (switched to the Linksys Velop MX-5 and that worked out of the box. This router works great when it works but depending on your network your milage may vary.The last good Netgear router I had was the R8000. I upgraded to the R8500 and when COVID started and I had to work from home I noticed rando
