I have another week before it goes back to Newegg as defective. I have reached out to Netgear support to see if there is a fix. If not, back it goes

Great looking unit

I have tested all three channels with about 7 devices now

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.

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

On paper, Netgear's Nighthawk X6 R8000 is one impressive router. Boasting what Netgear has called "Triband" technology a theoretical combined network speed of 3.2 gigabits per second, the Nighthawk X6 sounds like the be-all and end-all of consumer-grade networking hardware.

Future-proof; Great for networking drives; Slick design

Expensive; Limited 2.4Ghz band; Most users won't see a performance increase

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.

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.

Easy Setup; Tri-band Technology; Easy to use Netgear Genie App

Although it's cool looking; It is a little bigger than most so prepare to clear some space

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...

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

No complaints...

Hi to everyone, I am already using Netgear Nighthawk and so far i am satisfied. I plugged the booster 5 meters away from the rooter and 20 meters straight line from my laptop. The signal is weak (2 to 4 lines), but looks fine, I have access to the net all the time and good speed. Thank you
