After a lot of hype, the Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wireless Router is just a disappointment. Positioned as a major upgrade to the previous R7000 model , which is one of the best -- if not the best -- home routers from Netgear, the R8000 is impressive on paper.

The all-new Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wireless Router has powerful hardware and excellent Wi-Fi data rates on the 5Ghz frequency band; When coupled with an external hard drive, the router also functions as a robust NAS server

The router has a buggy 2.4Ghz band and comparatively short Wi-Fi range, and -- when all is working as intended -- it doesn't perform any better than other AC1900 routers; It's also crazily expensive

This may strike some of you as a bit odd but the first thing i do whenever i go to a hotel, restaurant or cafeteria I've never been in the past i always check to see if they have WiFi available and if so what is its strength and range.

A s the amount of data available to stream continues to increase rapidly, we as consumers need a way to connect to that data just as fast. The ability to stream 4K is becoming the new norm, so of course we need the proper hardware to maximize the speed for seamless playback and downloads.

Almost half a year ago our pages presented a review on NETGEAR R7500 wireless router, which allows user traffic transmitting via a wireless network at the speed up to 2,33 Gbps. Even then the vendor intrigued us with a new model that was just awaiting its arrival to Russia.

The web-interface is not completely translated; and to change localization Internet connection is needed; Relatively high price; IPv6 and OpenVPN cannot be used simultaneously

The Nighthawk X6 has plenty of bells and whistles and is geared towards either the individual that has multiple devices such as gaming systems, laptops, mobile devices, etc and not for those that have just one or two devices.

Netgear Nighthawk X6: Netgear's Latest Flagship with Tri-Band Wi-Fi Netgear has released their latest flagship wireless router, the Nighthawk X6 R8000 which is an Tri-Band 802.11ac.

Nighthawk X6 works great! Our WiFi signal is much stronger than before and now covers every bit of our 3400sqft house. I can also get good signal in the detached garage!

Easy set up

It's a large router

I usually have great success with netgear products but this one seemed to have some issues with its range. not sure if its a problem with the apartment that I'm in or the device. devices seemed to have been constantly disconnected and needed to be reconnected quite a bit and lots of router reboots.

Purchased in October 2017. In August after update the router started dropping off wifi signal. Reset and worked for 6 hours then reset wirked for 2 hours and so on. Until it would not reset. Calked customer support. After an hour of me telling them what i did. They had me do a hard reset.

I have had other routers from other company's and netgear is the one I keep coming back too. I had a netgear 3700 that was working great without any kind of problem, but I had a friend that didn't have a lot of money to spend on a good router so I let him have 3700, I have looking at the ac3200 like...
