NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S AC4000 Tri-Band WiFi Router, Gigabit Ethernet, MU-MIMO, Compatible with Amazon Echo/Alexa (R8000P)

Have purchased netgear router on 21 st February. And from today I.e 3 rd March it stopped working . It’s switching off automatically. Can you please revert in this . Have purchased it for 32,000 and it’s stopped working . It hardly worked for one week.

Wifi gets discontinued even though internet works

Funciona bien.

OK, so this thing will give you lots of internets. That's its job, and so you won't be disappointed with it. It handles a number of devices without issue, and it has a few different signal bands so that you can enjoy fast speeds close to it and any speed at all if you're outside dorking around. It's not too tough to set up. The app that it comes with does NOT work for setting it up (though it claims to). You still have to get a computer or something to do that initial connection. It took me about an hour or so to come to that conclusion (because it is very adamant that the app will work. The app does not work), but if I had started with a lined connection it would have been up and running pretty quickly. It hasn't failed me yet, working like a trooper since I installed it in February. It gives a fairly strong signal (though I wouldn't write home about the range, it's not bad at all). It doesn't need rebooting every 30 seconds like a Verizon router, and it just does its job well. NOTE: The app to connect to it works fine once you've set it up. It does NOT work to set it up initially. This app doesn't have a ton of features, but it works well enough to access some good stuff. They actually make it TOO easy to accidentally click a button that resets all of the networks to default settings without intending to (think- adding a 2.5mhz band, but it re-sets the 5 and 5.1 if you click that button). It also does not have any way to add VPN. They claim you can buy one right through Netgear, but that is both expensive and ill-advised. I tried every trick- from modding the system to working within its given framework, but it just does not work. 3 or 4 nerds have gotten it to work, but 98% of users run into errors and risk bricking their router with every attempt. IT CLAIMS TO HAVE VPN, but it doesn't. And the fact that a really small number of nerds got it modded enough to work with outside VPNs mean that it's on the whitelist for a number of those sites. But it's all a lie. BUY THIS if you have too much money to blow on a router, because it'll solve your internet connection issues. It's expensive, but darn it-- it does its job. DO NOT BUY THIS if you want to get Tajikistan Netflix or something through a VPN. There are better and even cheaper routers that do the same thing or more than this, but it absolutely does its intended job and will work for most of the people reading this.

NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S AC4000 Tri-Band WiFi Router (R8000P) is excellent gigabit router. I bought it brand new $179.49 in September 2019 and I fall in love with it at the moment of unboxing. Even though the user manual provides useful information on how to manage this router, however the users must have advanced knowledge to discover ton of its awesome features. I specifically like the stabilization of this router, the only router I've ever used that could run from day to day without overheating or connection drop. Auto firmware update will keep you free from security threads, you may "set and forget" to spend your time on your work, your life and your loved ones. Another awesome feature is Smart Connect - Let the router select the best WiFi band for our WiFi connections. With Smart Connect, we can use the same WiFi network name (SSID), security options, and password for all radios for which we enable Smart Connect. It is awesome to have only one Wireless Network Name (SSID) for 2.4G and both 5G radios. Another awesome feature is available on NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S AC4000 is ReadySHARE USB that lets you plug in even more capabilities and convenient features through your router’s USB port. These include USB storage you can wirelessly access at home, free software to easily backup your PC or Mac, wirelessly printing from any PC or Mac and the ability to play, view, listen to, and share your videos, photos, and music on DNLA connected TVs, game consoles, or media players. Last but not least, if you place your other banded router in your bedroom, your sleep may be bothered by the router led indicator. With NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S AC4000 Tri-Band WiFi Router you will never have that issue, there's a small switch in the back side of the router to turn off all the led lights except the power indicator. I have 36 devices connected to this router at home 24/7, both wired and wireless, some of them are high bandwidth usage like 4K TV and security cameras, I have no connection issue at all with NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S AC4000 Tri-Band WiFi Router. Buy it and you will never regret spending money on this wonderful router.

Had an older Netgear router that couldn’t handle all the streaming traffic after I cut the cable cord. Decided to go with the Nighthawk X6S AC4000 based on all the reviews I read. The reviews weren’t wrong!! Without changing my internet service provider and only switching to this new router, my download speeds went from a typical 50-54Mbps download to 450-480Mbps download. Unbelievable performance. The old router also used to routinely drop the connection for my cameras as well due to the speeds but since installing this new router a week ago, nothing has dropped yet (fingers crossed). There are a few “quirks” that I’m not too happy about but can live with. First, the old Netgear app that supported my old router had a Network Map function which displayed how all currently connected devices were laid out; the new Nighthawk app doesn’t have this feature. Secondly, there’s a glitch between the Nighthawk app and the web based router setup. Through the Nighthawk app, each connected device can be edited to specify what each is based on pre-configured choices (tablet, smartphone, bridge, etc...). The web based router interface has different labels for all connected devices (iPhone, iPad, Windows Computer, etc...). If you specify on the Nighthawk app that a device is a “smartphone” and then log into the web based router interface, the device is listed as “unknown type”. If you specify a device as an “iPhone” in the web based router interface and then log into the Nighthawk app, the device is listed as “Unknown Type”. Would be VERY helpful if Netgear could sync both the Nighthawk app and the web based router interface to use the same terminology for devices so they are setup once and listed properly no matter which interface you use. Thirdly, there’s another glitch in the setup process (on both the Nighthawk app and the web based router interface) when enabling the remote access feature. If enabled on the web based router app, it fails a few times and then goes through fully enabling remote access. When trying to enable remote access on the Nighthawk app, it fails all the time and says it’s not enabled, even though the web based router interface shows remote access is enabled (and after successfully accessing router remotely through internet). Again, these are all minor glitches that hopefully Netgear will address in future app releases and firmware updates. But overall, just based on the significant improvement in download speeds and uptime reliability, this is the best router I’ve ever owned (and this is probably my 10th router in the past 20 years; having tried multiple Linksys, Netgear, and Belkin routers over the years).

Great for boosting my network for my fiber optic system
