Abstract: With home offices becoming much more important for the majority of office workers during the pandemic, it's well worth the effort to take a close look at the heart of your home network, namely your router. What also makes this an especially good time to g...
Excellent performance, Very good range, Future-proof
Expensive, Limited QoS and parental controls, Barebones app,
There will be a time WiFi 6 will be ubiquitous, and the Wi-Fi experience in our homes and offices will, hopefully, be a whole lot better. Unfortunately, that time isn't here yet. While we are starting to see some WiFi 6 devices hit the market, it's still...

Abstract: Netgear's NightHawk AX8 8-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Router (RAX80) joins the Asus RT-AX88U as the first 802.11ax routers to hit our labs. Shaped like a futuristic starship, the RAX80 boasts an impressive feature set that includes five gigabit LAN ports, link aggrega...
Abstract: You can pay an awful lot for a Wi-Fi 6 router. Premium models nudge close to £400 and mesh systems can cost even more. So while the £280 Nighthawk RAX80 is expensive, it's not outlandishly so for a high-end Wi-Fi 6 solution.And for the money, you get s...
Very fast, Ready for new devices with Wi-Fi 6, Neat interface and management app,
Quite expensive, No parental controls,
A powerful Wi-Fi 6 router, the Netgear Nighthawk AX8 delivers some of the fastest throughputs we've seen, even when using older Wi-Fi 5 devices. The only real issue is the price, with this router significantly more expensive than existing Wi-Fi routers. N...
Excellent performance over 802.11ac, 4x4 MU-MIMO, Good physical connections
Not quite as fast as the competition, Unambitious feature set, Only dual-band
If you're considering buying an 802.11ax router at this point in time, that implies that you're willing to pay a premium to get the very fastest performance. If that's so, the Nighthawk AX8 is a tempting proposition but the Asus RT-AX88U delivers even bet...

Stylish design, Excellent performance, Easy to use software, WiFi 6 support
Costly (but can be justified)
If you cast your mind back to August of last year, we tested the Netgear Nighthawk XR500; a network router with a similar feature-set and almost identical price to the AX8 we've delved into today. However, the similar price doesn't describe the performanc...

A powerful Wi-Fi 6 router that fails to shine if you're still on Wi-Fi 5.The Netgear Nighthawk RAX80 is a fantastic Wi-Fi 6 router, but you won't see it live up to its full potential unless you have a lot of Wi-Fi 6 devices. Since it's only a dual-band r...
