Nighthawk AX12 12-Stream AX6000 WiFi Router (RAX120v2)

Top options are the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro for strong performance, the Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 for reliability, and the Synology RT6600ax for good features. These offer solid coverage and handle multiple devices well without huge speed drops.

I bought a Netgear RAX120 in 2020. It has a 2.5gb wan interface, very strong radios, and supports LAG on the Lan ports. We have a Samsung TV 40' from the router through 4 walls and it doesn't skip a beat. It is mated to a Nighthawk cm3000 which pushes the limits its of the ISP. I'm certain Netgear has later models, however, I no complaints with my current configuration. best regards James

Netgear Nighthawk AX12 is really great router and can easily handle more than 10 users. Though if you want to change and If budget is not an issue then, I would suggest you to get Mesh Router with Wifi 6 or 6E like TP Link Deco series or Netgear Orbi series.

Yes, definitely Netgear Nighthawk AX12 will perform way better than TP link.

You were right. The Netgear blows the TP Link out of the water!

very happy with my spaceship router

i have a $400 netgear,,,bought a couple years ago.. has the fold out wings...very happy with netgear

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 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.
