Review on NETGEAR Nighthawk 6 Stream AX5400 Router by Craig Walters

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not for the average end user. Right now.

First of all, if your phone or PC doesn't support 802.11ax, then this router is useless to you. It may be better than other routers, but your internet speed from your ISP will be the bottleneck. What good is 3 GB of bandwidth if you only have 200 Mbit/s internet. Also, I have configured many routers in my time and this one was the best to compile. If you are inexperienced with a router I would drop it or find someone with good networking experience to install it. I love that it has the option to put it in hotspot mode, it supports WPA 3 and it has VPN support. Not common in most routers. It feels a bit cheap, the plastic feels brittle to me. All in all I got it, I installed it and it works.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Unreliable
