On paper, Netgear's Nighthawk X6 R8000 is one impressive router. Boasting what Netgear has called "Triband" technology a theoretical combined network speed of 3.2 gigabits per second, the Nighthawk X6 sounds like the be-all and end-all of consumer-grade n...

  • Some might call the Nighthawk X6 overkill, while others might call it future-proof. Whatever your opinion, this behemoth of a router feels a bit circumstantial, especially considering its AUD$399 price point and the lack of an integrated modem. If you're...

In benchmarking, the X6 also proved to be a bit of a let down in some areas. It's longer-range 5GHz results, for example, were actually not as good as the R7000's, and we found that one of the two 5GHz radios worked significantly better than the other at...

A few months ago, we took a look at the Netgear Nighthawk R7000. We came away quite pleased with the features that were put into that solution, along with its build quality and performance. After that review, not a month later, I caught the release of the...
  • The Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 wireless router is quite a beast. In fact, the normal shelf I set my router on didn't have enough room to deploy the antennas fully when setting it up. Not that it's a bad thing, but do make sure you have enough room wherev...

After three years of 802.11ac, we've already arrived at the fourth generation of routers that support this standard. The Netgear R8000 is the first model that we'll put to the test. This device is a very different animal from the R7500 Nighthawk X4, whi...
  • The Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6 is, without a doubt, the fastest router that we have tested thus far. This isn't because of the introduction of all sorts of hip new technologies, such as Multi-User MIMO, but mainly because of the addition of an extra rad...
