NETGEAR NightHawk 4-Stream AX1800 WiFi 6 Router (RAX10)

I bought this model because of price, performance and from the many positive third party reviews
Personally, I found the app not great and I thought it was rather a messy setup which, after several false promises, didn't work at all.
For me, I preferred to setup manually with a web browser and I was up and working well in a few minutes.
The user interface was structured well and it didn't take long to find the wan parameters which needed changing to work with fibre.These settings were not supplied in any documentation.
It is working well, multiple devices, enough speed for multiple movies without any problems.
I would recommend this mod...view more I bought this model because of price, performance and from the many positive third party reviews

PB Tech staff have always given me great service.

Needed a new router as the one supplied by Spark was not up to the task, mainly was not allowing my Panasonic TV Viera link to access files from my ReadyNAS and occasionally dropping the connection for no reason. I was given very good advice and shown a range of product that would suit my requirements. What was pleasing is that the sales assistant was very upfront and did not attempt to push a more expensive product. I came home and after initially having problems with the set up found there was great guide provided by PBTech. https://kb.netgear.com/30947/How-do-I-set-up-my-NETGEAR-router-if-I-have-Spark-NZ-Fibre-or-UFB was an easy to follow...view more Needed a new router as the one supplied by Spark was not up to the task, mainly was not allowing my Panasonic TV Viera link to access files from my ReadyNAS and occasionally dropping the connection for no reason.

PBTech is one of my go to places when needing tech and advice. Keep up the good work.

A huge improvement on my older version of Nighthawk. The older machine was a pain to set up and manage. With the Nighthawk phone app., this model was a breeze to set up and is very, very easy to manage.
It is also very fast: I'm getting downloads of 93 Mbps and uploads of 54. A huge improvement on my older version of Nighthawk. The older machine was a pain to set up and manage. With the Nighthawk phone app., this model was a breeze to set up and is very, very easy to manage.

Great for a 3 bedroom single story house. No dead spots.

Pros:
Very easy to setup.
Great WiFi range
Speed is a little slower than advertised
Can WiFi stream multiple devices with no problem (Laptop streaming movies, AppleTV streaming, iPhone video) all at the same time, no buffering.

Cons:
Spammed by Netgears filter
Don't switch on the automatic WiFi selection - it plays havoc with Echo Show's. Other smart devices are ok (Yeelight, Echo Dot, AppleTV, Sonos speakers, Samsung smart TV) Great for a 3 bedroom single story house. No dead spots.

Router was bought to increase coverage in the house - SO far works great with no complaints.

I bought it as a replacement and it's been working perfectly. The setup is a bit tricky through the mobile app but once done everything is great. I bought it as a replacement and it's been working perfectly. The setup is a bit tricky through the mobile app but once done everything is great.

I got this as a result of the router from my service provider failed. This has been perfect for what I need. The setup was seamless and has been working without a single problem since.
