Review: Beat Router For Home Office - Total game changer! Upgraded from a Linksys AC3200 to the Netgear AX 6600 because, I was tired of slow connection speeds and constantly loosing a signal, even after I upgrading from 500 MBPS to 1 GBPS. Holy smokes! I no longer drop from Teams and Google meetings! There is nothing worse than dropping offline while in a client meeting. Buffering and watching the spinny wheel days are over! I wish I had upgraded to this router sooner! Exceptional speed and coverage throughout my 2800 sq ft home. No need for wifi extenders, even in the backyard! Super easy setup, which was my biggest concern, since I had over 20 devices connected to my previous router. Reliability and speed is what I was looking for, and although it's a little pricey, this router efficiently manages numerous devices connected simultaneously without sacrificing speed or stability. Totally worth every penny!
Review: Excellent Coverage easy to install. - Relaced my older Netgear router with this new Nighthawk because the old one could not keep up. I was having to use multiple extenders throughout my house to accommodate all my equipment, especially outside security cameras. After installing the new router, I could actually hook up all cameras to one wi-fi channel and the cameras react much faster when I need to use them from my app. Not to mention the strength of the signal to my computers, tvs, and smart home devices. No more losing my wi-fi at the most inconvenient times.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the ssid name and password be changed so i don't have to manually change my 48 smart home devices one by one?**
A: Yes you can keep the same SSID and password from your previous router setup. You should power cycle all those smart devices so they can reconnect to the new SSID router. Also you seem to have quite a few devices, you should consider a Netgear Access point such as WAX218 or WAC540 those can handle over 200+ wireless devices and can run on POE+

**Q: Is this a good upgrade to a nighthawk x4? I am paying for 1 gig service but i am getting only 550mbps over Wi-Fi.**
A: Frankly, I gave up on the nighthawk x4 and went to eero 6 pro. The night hawk just had to many problems.
The eero was easy to install. It has functioned very well and on 600MPS service I get about 620MPS. It does need a gigabit switch if you have more than one item plugged into your router.

**Q: Why does my connection keep reverting to 1.2Gig a second speed using my ax210 and ax211 adapters? I have to restart router each day for 2.4Gbps**
A: It might be your provider! Spectrum caps internet speeds if you don’t use their crappy devices that you are also paying a monthly fee to rent. I had a tech out here and he told me that unless you use Spectrum’s modem and router you wouldn’t get any much than around 1gig , he did say that there is a work around for getting what you’re paying for, but wouldn’t tell me. They just installed fiber optic all over my neighborhood, and I am absolutely sure that they will get my business as Spectrum is trying to monopolize on the fact that they are the only service except for DSL, which we tried and it was terrible. It’s all coming from a satellite anyway, so either they couldn’t afford better quality Satellites or they didn’t want too. 

I’ve owned 3 different NETGEAR routers and modems and never had any issues with them, except for the fact they outlived the newest technology and they had to be replaced. Im a firm believer in owning my equipment as the stuff the provider rents to you is junk! I also have had several issues with Motorola modems and burning them up. I can’t just get NETGEAR at any local store and if they have it, it’s way overpriced. 

Overall, I’ve been extremely happy with NETGEAR, however I wasn’t exactly happy with they did a firmware update on my Nighthawk X10 and I was robbed of one of my streams for some 60Ghz band that I don’t have a clue what it’s for or was suppose to be for. That was an expensive router and had plenty of ports, like 6 plus link aggregation.

**Q: Would this work with cox internet? i will be getting their top internet choice that’s $100 a month**
A: Yes, because it's just a router. You only worry about the cable modem for activation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy - excellent router!
*by S***O on March 13, 2021*

Really happy with the product. Setup was a breeze and everything is lighting fast. I signed up for FiOS and my old router could not make use of the FiOS gigabit speed. This new router is AMAZING. I am on WIRELESS and getting double what I was getting on the old router. Wireless is supposed to be slow! Or so I thought. This router has a lot of great features including a guest network, dynamic DNS, and automatic switching between two high-speed 5GHz networks. The router interface is extremely similar to my old Netgear but its just cleaner and more modern which makes it enjoyable to use. The Nighthawk app, eh- take it or leave it. It's a cool option to have but sort of unnecessary in my opinion. My only complaints are as follows. Documentation is lacking on what the "high-speed" port is on the back, and how to make use of it, and the option where you can combine two ports into one super-speed port. There isn't a description of this or really any explanation how to turn this on. There also isn't a good description of how the antenna work so you are left testing it out yourself or guessing if you can mount the unit to a wall without affecting its performance. If you are deciding between a bunch of routers, the RAX70 is the best router to get. If you have the money for a more expensive one, go for it, but I don't think you are getting too much more for your money, likewise, I wouldn't choose any of the lesser models as there are some important features exclusive to the RAX70. I wouldn't go with any other brand. Netgear has excellent products and I have always had Netgear routers and never had one fail on me. All of them I had to replace as I got other equipment but never due to the product itself failing in any capacity. Overall I'm impressed with the product. Setup was a breeze, and I couldn't be happier with my new Netgear Nighthawk!
