    • High-Speed, Reliable Performance for Modern Homes
Review Image by Philly Philly
The NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 6 Router (RAX43) is a powerhouse for anyone seeking fast, reliable, and future-proof internet performance. With WiFi 6 capability, this router offers 4.2 Gbps wireless speed, which is more than enough to handle a high-demand household with multiple devices streaming, gaming, and browsing simultaneously. One of the key highlights is its dual-band capability, allowing it to handle both high-speed tasks and standard internet use without lag. The router manages smart traffic distribution exceptionally well, maintaining stable connections even during peak hours, and is ideal for families or shared spaces where several devices compete for bandwidth. In testing, I noticed minimal buffering and impressive speeds even in the farthest rooms of my house, thanks to its advanced signal range. The setup process is straightforward with the Nighthawk app, making it accessible even for those less tech-savvy. The app also provides useful features like parental controls, security updates, and the ability to prioritize certain devices, which adds an extra layer of convenience and customization. For anyone upgrading their home network or investing in high-speed performance for gaming, 4K streaming, or smart home connectivity, the NETGEAR Nighthawk RAX43 is a top-tier option that combines speed, stability, and ease of use. ... show more

    • Solved our dead zone problems
We’ve used this for 4 1/2 years with Xfinity and still working great. The range is great and we can access Wi-Fi from every spot of our 1/2 acre yard and home without an extender. If you’re having issues with dead zones like we were prior to purchasing this, this may be your solution!

    • Reliable Router, Does What It Says
Happy with this router. It provides strong WiFi 6 coverage throughout my house. While I've read the firmware isn't the newest version available, it hasn't impacted performance for me at all. It's been a set-it-and-forget-it kind of device, which is exactly what I wanted. Good value.

    • Works like a Champ
Very glad I chose this router over other brands. It was easy to setup and the extra features like speed test, devices connected, and usage are an added plus. I liked it so much I bought a second and set it up as an access point. The router strength is much stronger than my Starlink router and faster also. ... show more

    • Shockingly Poor Security, Antique User Interface, Need to Pay with Auotrenew for More Security
I replaced a failed Netgear R6700 Wireless router with this RAX43 and run it for one month now. Unfortunately past the return date or else I would based on the scary poor security the router offers. Read on for our impression: EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING SECURITY: There is not much to select in security and its below basic. For example there is no option to block an IP address or group of IP addresses. Shocking actually that was not there. The log shows its detected DoS attacks for example but does not say if blocked or if the sender is aware a connection was made. Scary actually how little insight the router provides. DID NOT DETECT TROJAN ACTIVITY: The router did not detect a trojan nor report the hacker traffic that was sourced from a device on my network. A security camera NVR on the system had the trojan. When using the netgear router this trojan was allowing a hacker to use up my bandwidth and drop my network every few minutes. Another brand router detected and reported the trojan allowing me to take action to physically locate the device. HAVE TO PAY FOR MORE SECURITY! ... I was going to subscribe to their Armor security after the trial stopped but then the only option is auto renewal which I though was very tacky, not giving you any other option. The only way to cancel is to let it charge you then cancel the service and who knows how difficult that would be, probably frustrating to cancel. So based on that single money grab characteristic I did not renew. For that very tacky and unsettling approach to business I remove stars. EASY SETUP: I followed none of the instructions nor used the built in install Wizard or phone app. Connecting the router directly to my PC I logged into it at the default IP address 192.168.1.1. From there I was able to enter all the same names and passwords for the 2.4 and 5GHz wireless and basically recreate all the same parameter that were on the original R6700 including lastly to set the LAN to my IP of 192.168.0.1. After resetting the router I then installed it into my network, connecting all LAN cables and the cable the cable modem (Netgear DM500). Power both the router and the cable modem up the router quickly booted and connected to ISP service as well as the rest of the wired and wireless devices. IT was all very seamless. GREAT RANGE: I have another R6700 that is used as an Access Point in the far opposite corner of the house from the main router as the original routers wireless level was too low there. The signals measured when using the RAX43 at that same far corner are excellent, easily picked up by other devices such as my smartphone. I measured about -70dBm at this location which is 75ft away, through 3 walls and 1 floor. Its strong enough that I may not need the Access Point any longer. A STEP BACKWARDS USER INTERFACE: I was hoping for a modernized interface but the RAX43 was actually a bit less than the original R6700 router. The R6700 used colors such as green to indicate good but the RAX43 is all gray scale with no color. Conclusion: I was shocked how little options are available to set up security features and how poorly it reported issues on my network traffic. For example there is no option to block an IP address...shocking actually. When I attempted to purchase the extra Armor security its states it will auto renew for $100. The security was bad enough to dump the router but when you add the tacky business practice of charging more for inadequate security, this router is going to hazardous waste. ... show more

Pretty good! Covers 2,500 sq ft house and nearly an acre yard very well. Good speeds. The app is annoying and I don't use it at all after initial setup.
