    The Netgear Nighthawk AX3000 Dual-Band WiFi 6 Router provides a solid wireless solution that can reach more than 80 feet away from the unit OUTSIDE the house with the ability to reliably stream from a Roku in the backyard when used in a home environment. What more can anyone ask from a $130 router from Best Buy? Highly recommended!

    I am so glad I found this router. I had a problem putting a VPN on my old router. I didn't know i could buy one with it already installed. Great. Protecting all eight of my devices all the time. Thank you Nighthawk ax3000. Love it and not that expensive.

    Here are a few reviews for the Netgear AX3000 Gateway: ### Review 1: **Rating: 5/5** The Netgear AX3000 is a powerhouse when it comes to Wi-Fi performance. After upgrading from an older model, I immediately noticed the difference in speed and coverage. The setup was straightforward, and the app interface made managing my network a breeze. The dual-band Wi-Fi 6 technology provides blazing-fast speeds, even with multiple devices connected simultaneously. I live in a two-story house, and the signal strength is excellent throughout, even in the farthest corners.

    This router was recommended by a sales person at my local Best Buy. I am impressed with the coverage and speed. I have 1,600 sf to cover and it is no problem. Easy setup. I would recommend this router to anyone.

    I replaced a 13 year old netgear router with this one. I was having trouble with my laptop wifi losing internet. With this new router, I am connecting on 5G and the connection is much more stable. Highly recommend upgrading. It was really easy to keep the network settings the same as the old one so I didn't have to update each device.

    Spectrum went to 300 to 600 bps. I had to upgrade my router. Tplink ax3000 was a disaster. The netgear ax3000 was easy to hookup and works like a charm. The nighthawk is well worth the money.

    This router has been exactly what I needed with my new apartment. It’s small enough to not be cumbersome but also super powerful and fast. This in my opinion is a great option for most people given that most areas are capped at a gig right now anyways. The price to performance is great. I also like that there’s a mobile app you can use for it. A bit of a shame that the parental controls and all of that is subscription based but I didn’t need those features anyways. Overall a great bang for your buck router.

    I’m so impressed with this product! I was blown away when I discovered the free year-long subscription to their security suite. It’s a top-notch product, and the price is unbeatable. Plus, it’s super easy to set up. Highly recommend it!

    Very good router with the protection of Armor, it was able to block a remote Apple device from hacking into my router. It also scans the router often to detect any illegal or unusual activity and lets me know that no virus or hacking had been found , the manager in Pasadena branch recommended this product to me especially after my old router was hacked .

    When our WiFi router got fried, we needed to get a new one. This one had the MBPs we needed & at a great price, since we are Best Buy Rewards members. It was easy to set up. Bonus-it has security & security notifications built in! Very happy with this WiFi router!

    This router was a perfect replacement for the old Nitehawk router I had for 7 years. The old one just kinda "quit". This is as close to the old one as I could get. Very happy with this one. This was as easy to set up and get running as the old one was. And yes, I run my tech til it dies.
