The all-new Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wireless Router has powerful hardware and excellent Wi-Fi data rates on the 5Ghz frequency band. When coupled with an external hard drive
The router also functions as a robust NAS server
The editors didn't like
The router has a buggy 2.4Ghz band and comparatively short Wi-Fi range
And -- when all is working as intended -- it doesn't perform any better than other AC1900 routers. It's also crazily expensive
Future-proof, Great for networking drives, Slick design,
Expensive, Limited 2.4Ghz band, Most users won't see a performance increase,
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...
Abstract: 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 ...

Abstract: Emboldened by the overwhelmingly positive response to the original Nighthawk R7000 router, Netgear’s seemingly taken it as their remit to go even harder with this new successor to the company’s original enthusiast-pitched model...
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...
Fast transfer rates, Space-age looks, Versatile dual 802.11ac Wi-Fi networks
Middling USB transfer speeds, Interface is overly simplified, Dual Wi-Fi overkill (for most)

Abstract: Physically it's designed with that same brooding matte-black finish as last year's model — which basically means it'll still look great sitting in the Batcave next to the Tumbler batmobile from Batman Begins . So how has Netgear leaped from 1.9Gbps AC190...
Abstract: Netgear sent us their Nighthawk. No, it's not Batman's latest vehicle, it's their flagship router, designed to spread the wireless love far and wide.Opening the box, it does appear to have been developed by Bruce Wayne Enterprises, being reminiscent of a...
Excellent at optimizing performance of multiple devices on a single network, Simple setup, Solid throughput and NAS performance, Runs cool
Network Map feature needs improvement, Lacks enhanced QoS feature of previous model, Some connection timeouts at 30 feet and beyond in testing, Pricey
The Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band WiFi Router makes an impressive debut, proving the tri-band concept by deftly handling multiple wireless devices on a single network...
