Nighthawk AXE7800 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router

I usually sit within direct line of sight of the router and 99% of the time have a perfect experience on Wifi 6E Nighthawk AXE7800 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router Host connected via Ethernet. Client on Wifi. Streaming at 1600p, 120mbs bitrate and 120fps

I have used a Netgear Nighthawk RAXE300 6E router since September 2023 and it is running fine.

You can pull a gig with a wifi 6 router, raxe300 will do you (netgear)

Just did this - 7 people, 3 floors. Went through a few mesh systems (tplink be4800, be5000, XE75). Hated the way mesh worked, walked to another room device would hang on the further node and online games were choppier (higher ping and latency) than a single nighthawk (even had wired backhaul from main to second of the 3 nodes). Then went through multiple Netgear Nighthawks (rs200, rs300, rs500, axe3000). Ordered a refurbed RS700S for $349, its a beast but better coverage, better speeds, lower pings, less latency than any of the Mesh systems. Dead spots where we got 5-10mb/sec now getting 550mb. Using the nighthawk app I could see with the RS500 60% signal level in some of the dead spot areas, now getting 90+%. I've got a 1GB connection from Spectrum and they overprovision so wirelessly with iphone 17 getting over 1gb a floor above or under the router and up to a room away still. Wired to PCs getting 1.1-1.2 gb too. I tested speeds in every room of my house with each system to record speeds. I found a single, more powerful router to be a much better and consistent solution for 3 floors and 7 people.

Netgear nighthawk. Spend what you can afford for the coverage you need.

sadly i have a netgear nighthawk 6e router, was 300$ 4 years ago.
