abunda_amazon_reviews Disclaimer: Netgear has not paid me to write this review or asked me to endorse this product (AX 8). I was fortunate enough to be selected in beta testing of this router. I am providing feedback based on 2++ months real world use of this product. Pros: 1) Awesome design 2) New Netgear GUI for setup and configuration - very easy to use and fast. I had the router setup in < 5 mins 3) Performance is decent out of the box - I expect with future firmware updates, this performance will improve more. Also performance will be better once you have matching AX clients connecting to the router 4) No wi-fi drops 5) Can handle 20 streaming clients without any issues 7) No buffering or stuttering when streaming wireless or wired 8) No dead spots in a 3500 sq feet home and coverage (3 bars) 30ft outside of house 9) Can create a single SSID which can handle both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz clients seamlessly 10) No issues connecting legacy AC wireless devices (Android and iOS) 11) No issue with VPN 12) Gigabit fiber speed test is 940mb/s up and down with a 2ms ping to testing server Cons: 1) Price 2) You will need AX clients to really take advantage of this product. AX should be taking off in 2019+ 3) You will hear the fan when you first power up the router. Also make sure you upgrade to .36 of the firmware after you setup the router to make sure fan does not stay running under normal use 4) Would have liked to see 8 gigabit ports for this price point 5) Would like to see parental controls, anti-virus add-ons in the future Overall, I am very happy with the performance of this router (even on the first beta firmware). If you have a router that is more than 4 yrs old or have a household with lots of wireless devices, this router is a good choice. The price is a bit expensive, but the router is well built. I expect performance to get better as firmware starts to mature. I have used the router every day for 2 months and it has worked flawlessly. Have not found any wi-fi dead spots in the house. Video streaming, web surfing, gaming all work without any issues.;;Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Solid router and very good performance;;AM ZN;;;Don't waste your time getting the new AX (wifi 6) tech since its not readily available in devices they said. Don't spend the money cause its gonna be like a normal router for a couple of years until more are released. Let me tell you - ignore that. This is a BEAST. I spent 3+ weeks trying out different solutions on wifi. I tried Orbi mesh. While that is a good product, I am not really in need of a mesh. Speeds averaged 460-525 Mbps. (I tested at different times of day but same time frames with other products). I tried the XR500 Nighthawk that is one of the highest rated devices with DumaOS. So many issues that I was losing my mind. I tried several fixes. Separate the bands, channels, etc. My security cams were going offline every 30 mins or so for at least 15. I was so fed up with trying to trouble shoot the device. My speeds were 580 - 670 Mbps with it which I did enjoy. But speed is only useful if its actually CONNECTED to the devices. Last ditch effort I tried this router. The RAX80 and holy moly. Plugged in, used the mobile app and was up within 5 mins. Every device attached with no issues. No disconnects after multiple days use. Speed improvement on every item. I have 38 devices accessing my wifi as part of the smart home. This monster just cranks it out. No problems at all. My speed on several tests as compared to the same day/ time as the ones above - 830-960 Mbps I am not sure why its such a huge improvement but it is. I cannot say enough good things about this router. Not only is is a monster with handling speeds and multiple devices - just look at it. It is not one you want to hide. You want to show this baby off. Several people have asked me what the space ship is. This thing went from being in an Amazon box to installed and cranking out wifi / lan within 10 minutes and NOT a single drop of signal. I am future proof as well. So I say if you can afford it, do not hesitate. You will really like it. EDIT: After 2 months this router is still the best one I've ever seen. Still getting top level speeds right at a gig. I've got 42 devices attached to it (smart home) and it doesn't even cough. I rarely am this surprised. This router is still #1 in everything I tried!;;Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Wow - Blown away;;AnAmazonKing;;;Replaced my Netgear Nighthawk X10 / 7200 with this. I have a full gig coming into my house and with the old Netgear could get almost 925MB up and down from a wired desktop. With this new one - identically configured - I'm only getting 425MB. Wireless 2.4 and 5 are much slower as well - I'm going to keep looking at these settings but unless I can figure out what's going on, I'm going to return this and go back to my X10. Also - I can't notice any stronger penetration / signal strength with this AX8 than from my X10 - I still need 2 extenders to reach my entire house.;;Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2019;;3.0 out of 5 stars;;Jury still out - starting to wonder why I upgraded.;;hgpilot - MM
