Review on πŸš€ NetGear R8000 Nighthawk X6 - AC3200 Tri-Band WiFi Gigabit Router: Top-Notch Network Performance by Tim Thornton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great speed, annoying security check, helpful techniques, long queue for tech support chat

This test relates to the NightHawk R7950 X6-AC 3000, which looks identical to the R8000 Pro: Impressive speed. Configurations include 3 nodes for guest or child access. Android/iOS apps to monitor usage and change settings (guest SSID/password can be easily changed). Competent professionals if you can get through. Cons: There is almost no setup information in the box. Online user guide link was dead. Long wait for chat support. Recorded message from phone support. Annoying security testing feature that cannot be removed until a trial month is up (biggest annoyance for me). Pros/Cons: Goofy aesthetic. It was only used for a few weeks so I can't comment on durability.

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Not everything fits
