Extremely good connectivity..no uptime conflicts.extremely great throughput..got two of them

**The first picture is the actual router (picture I've sent in to NetGear >=7 times now)**The second picture is the first page of all the support cases I've opened trying to get NetGear to fulfill the warranty, and replace the router which started overheating and shutting down to reboot.***The RMA was refunded after they had asked me to send in proof of purchase for the 7th time, and I hadn't seen the email for a few days. 'Refunded' means they turned the RMA from accepted to rejected, and put me back at ground zero in terms of getting them to fulfill warranty.I apologize for the roughness of this review, I'm going to revise it and collect more evidence (transcripts, pictures, etc.). I wanted to get this news about NetGEAR out now, though.This might have been a decent router, it started out working alright. Then, my Wi-Fi network started going down/crashing at least once a day. After a bit of troubleshooting, I realized the router was overheating, which would cause it to shutdown. Then it would take a few minutes to reboot and get the network back up.Fortunately (you would think), I had the device covered by warranty! I began speaking with NETGEAR support about the issue back in July 2023. I uploaded proof of purchase and picture of the router to several different agents, and finally they sent the case on to the 'RMA' team for approval.The RMA team approved the RMA, and I was asked for credit card information to pay for shipping. I happily did this, looking forward to receiving the replacement router within 1-2 weeks (estimate).I waited over a week, then decided to go to the netgear site to check on the status of the shipment. My RMA had been REJECTED after I PAID FOR SHIPPING. Apparently, the RMA team required a proof of purchase and a picture of the actual router w/serial number. If you remember, I'd sent this in multiple times to different agents.At this point, I've dealt with several more agents and uploaded the pictures at least 7 times now to different people. Since the RMA was rejected after it had been accepted since I hadn't resent in the pictures to the RMA team in time, I've finally managed to get the case sent BACK to the RMA team.Now, I'm waiting on an email from the RMA team asking for picture of proof of purchase/etc. that I've already sent in >=7 times, and uploaded directly to the NetGEAR portal, to the support case, a week ago. If I hadn't spoken to an agent about the issue again today, my replacement would have just stayed rejected. Honestly, I doubt I'll ever get the replacement, and this was a huge waste of money since I'm using the much less expensive router that I had before this, and it's working better.---- The above was written on 8/30/2023. Within a day or two of this, I had spoken with another agent who had messaged the RMA team asking for a resolution to this case within 24 hours.Below section is an update from 9/9/2023 ---------I'm speaking with another NetGEAR support agent now, because the only activity on the main support case with this router has been an email that I've received telling me the case will be closed in 5 days. The Agent said to keep waiting for an email. Also reminded me about the hardware device warranty that lasts 1 year from point of purchase. I purchased this router around January 2023, so I think they may just be trying to stretch this until Feb 2024.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've upgraded to this router (12 stream, 3,500 sq ft version), from an ASUS AC88u router, meshed with a AC66U.I bought this router used for $270 from Amazon warehouse. This listing has that option below the brand new one. I would recommend you buy this router used. The listing said mine has cosmetic flaws, but I think that's just put there as a catch-all description, because the router is flawless.I'm very picky about my stuff, but I knew that routers are items people commonly buy, then return, because they think it's broken when they don't know how to use it. If it's not up to your standards, then return or exchange it.The ASUS system started to suffer after I added 6 cameras, many speakers, and 2 nest thermostats: connections would drop for 10 seconds every few hours, which is a deal-breaker if you do stuff like gaming, or school work.The connection has been very solid, and I can say the advertised range is true. I no longer need a mesh for whole-house 5Ghz.I'm a cyber security professional, so I have a pretty good understanding of networking, and this router really nails the connection, user-interface, and letting you tweak features that actually matter. Tweaking features won't wreck your connection or sacrifice stability, unlike ASUS.Wifi 6 with OFDMA really works. This router feels like it has really good "airtime fairness," which means it doesn't let a few connections hog all the bandwidth. The 2.4 GHz is as fast as my old AC (wifi 5) 5GHz.I just want to warn, that you kind of have to know what you're doing to set this up correctly. Some providers, like AT&T use carrier-grade NAT, so if you don't correctly bridge the modem, configure the correct internet connection for your WAN address (the address you see when going to a site like IP chicken), then port forwarding and other services won't work. Internet will still work, so if you never need to do those things, you wouldn't need to worry.I'll describe the process vaguely, so you'd know where to start if you want to do what I'm talking about. You basically have to set up the WAN or "internet" settings of this unit, to match the WAN of your modem. If you had an old router and did that, and you're replacing it. Spoof the old router's MAC address to the new router.Misc info: the "router" (technically it's a switch, access point, and gateway. Making this distinction to be specific) has a fan at the top that turns on when it's getting hot. It only spins when it needs to. Mine hasn't span yet.

This review is for the Netgear Nighthawk AX12 12 Steam AX WiFi Router (Model Number: RAx120)MY BROADBAND PACKAGE:Virgin Media Fibre Optic Cable. 220MB Download and 20MB upload broadband plan. Using Virgin SuperHub 3.MY HOME SETUP:Large 4 bedroom detached property (very wide) over 2 floors (No brick internal walls). Furthest internal point in house, from the router is approx 15 meters.I have approx 15 devices connecting to the WiFi network.THE VIRGIN SUPER HUB 3:The only time I ever received Virgin’s advertised upload and download speeds was when I connected my MacBook Pro directly to the router using an Ethernet cable. Great - if you don't mind cables running all over your house.The WiFi was horrendously slow 90% of the time - I was often getting download speeds of just 20MB and that was in the same room as the router. In other rooms or upstairs the WiFi signal would degrade further still, to the point that it was often unusable - frequently I would get faster downloads using 4G (on my iPhone Pro Max). I tried all the usual stuff - turning the router off and back on again - turning off the mobile devices and laptops - and resetting the router back to factory settings. Even resorted to tweaking the router settings, to no avail.Occasionally, the router would give me a faster WiFi connection when turned off and back on again (maybe reaching 70MB) and then within minutes or a couple of hours it was back to the usual slow speed connection. I tried WiFi extenders etc.. nothing seemed to work, and as I work from home, I would end up using ethernet cable during the day to ensure I had a fast and constant reliable connection.Fed up with the slow WiFi and having an ethernet cable running over 10 metres to the study I started to research the Virgin Super Hub 3 router online. If only I had done it sooner. The reviews for it are terrible (and that's from official reviewers - not your average lay person). In view of this and already have spent a small fortune on other devices (extenders etc) I started to look at reviews for the NETGEAR Nighthawk router. Initial reaction was expensive, but the reviews for it were generally very good. Having had enough of my current unworkable setup, I decided to purchase the router.THE NIGHTHAWK NETGEAR ROUTER REVIEW:Arrived within a couple of days via Amazon Prime.Downloaded the app to my iPhone, launched it and followed the step-by-step instructions to complete the router setup. It was an absolute breeze. I had the new router up and running within half an hour of getting it out of the box.Note: If you're using the Virgin Super Hub 3, you will need to change the Super Hub 3 from "WiFi Mode" to "Modem Mode", before you start setting up the Nighthawk router, which can easily be done within the router's settings.During the set-up, you're asked if you want to keep your existing Network SSID and Password... Select "YES" as this means all of your existing devices will automatically connect to the new router (once set-up), otherwise you'll have a New SSID and Password, which you’ll have to set-up on every device you wish to connect to the WiFi. This worked perfectly for me.Post setup, all of my existing devices connected perfectly. Note: The 5G network has shorter range but faster connection, whereas the 2G network has further range but slower speed connection. I managed to get all of my smart devices (TV's, mobile phones, iPads) to connect to the 5G Wi-Fi network without any issues or signal drops anywhere in the house. There are 5 ethernet ports on the back of the router, which I also used to connect some devices (e.g Lounge TV, and PS4).Here's THE BEST BIT ... THE SPEED... WOW - this has totally blown my socks off!!! Most of the devices are connecting to the WiFi at almost full speed (220MB download) most of the time. In the furthest corners of the house I can still gets signals as fast as 210MB. I'm totally impressed and wish I'd bought this sooner.The Nighthawk Phone App is great. It allows you to see all of the devices connecting to the network either via WiFi or wired connection. You can 'pause' internet to individual devices if you like. You can also check the internet upload and download speed between your Router and ISP, which is handy. You can also turn on a "Guest WiFi" network if you wish to give house gets access to WiFi but not 'your' personal WiFi. There is also a traffic meter, if you wish to track how much data you're using .IN CONCLUSION:This router isn't cheap, in fact it's one of Netgear's most expensive. It does however have the latest WiFi standard (WiFi 6 aka "AX") which the latest iPhones, Samsung Devices, iPads can make use off. It is also backward compatible with all previous WiFi standards. It is quick and easy to setup and doesn't require any technical knowledge. Most importantly is the WiFi speed which I've been completely amazed with. You might also be able to get great results with other cheaper Netgear Routers (I didn't want to take the chance based on the amount I'd spent cumulatively on other products trying to sort my poor WiFi signal), however, I can wholly recommend this router if you have the budget, want ultra-fast WiFi speeds, and are looking to ensure any new smart device purchases can make use of the very latest and fastest WiFi.

Was using a wireless router provided by our ISP. Needed something faster, more reliable, and that reached further. This router met all my needs. Also very important because of all the devises we have, including smart lights that each connect to the router. Was an amazon warehouse bargain. Product was great shape, and damage was as disclosed. Would highly recommend the product, and buying an amazon warehouse deal.
