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...

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...
