NETGEAR - Nighthawk 4G LTE Modem + WiFi 6 Router Combo (LAX20)

Narrowboat gamer here. I use a 4G router from Net Gear called Night Hawk. It can be connected to an external Arial if needed and has its own internal battery which will last around 5 hours. Most importantly for me it is powered/recharged by USB C. I use it for PC and Steam Deck gaming. The downside is that it’s expensive, I think I payed around £300 for mine.

I did and it completely fixed my internet which plagued me for years. I had a 10 year old nighthawk modem/router combo that I hardwired into and I experienced constant lag and rubberbanding. I upgraded to an asus router and an arris modem maybe 6 months ago. I also upped my internet speed for good measure. Now I have the best connection I’ve ever experienced and have absolutely no issues. I paid a pretty penny for the luxury though ngl.

Dude I bought an Netgear ax1800 router for 17 bucks at a thrift store with WiFi 6 over the whole house. It gives me all of my 300mbps upload and download i pay for. I think you're over paying. But it likely would be in the 100 range new, so I'd go the cheaper option.

Considering that you’re using a very old 802.11n-only device, an upgrade to a decent WiFi6 device will modernize you greatly. These can be very inexpensive. I picked up a used Netgear Nighthawk WiFi6 router for $30 and it covers my apartment perfectly, despite the 200 neighbors. Then, when the future arrives and it’s time to expand, I’d buy something new. WiFi7 prices are only going to fall faster and WiFi7 clients will become all that more common, so it will pay to wait. Network gear is one of those things that you can’t future-proof. The tech changes fast enough, and the prices change fast enough, and the client support lags enough to the point where it’s is more efficient to buy for today, and not for 24 months from now.

Netgear nighthawk for 6. Using tplink easy mesh for 7 and been happy so far

Definitely 👍. I use a Netgear Nighthawk with WiFi 6.

I dont know about this model but fuck Netgeat Nighthawk. I owned a different one few years ago that was supposed to be a a high spec version, and it caused me infinite problems, which all disappeared when I bought a different one.

I agree. I have tried numerous Netgear products, going back to a PCMCIA card, and all of them have had problems. The last Nighthawk I had constantly resulted in "Connected, No internet" for too many devices.

I moved from a Netgear Nighthawk router and extender to an Orbi network... Well worth it to me.

They were all WiFi 6. I used a Nokia linksys Atlas, a TPLink one and a Netgear Nighthawk. Except for the Nokia (wifi5), none of them even came close to the signal penetration I got from the GLinet flint 2.
