Review: Easy! And a good solution for a frustrating problem. - Worked great right out of the box. My house already has a wireless router from Spectrum. But my network backup system is Ethernet only. I had to find a way to back up my wife's laptop which is wireless only and no Ethernet port (ARG! I HATE THAT). So after trying a wireless bridge that only sort of worked, I put this up and connected it to the backup NAS. Named that network something different. Now all I have to do is just connect to that network Sunday night when everything is done and the computers back up their stuff without any hassle. Yeah, there might have been a better way to do it, but this is quick, cheap, easy, and works every time. I always trust Netgear stuff. Review: High Quality at a Low Price - The Netgear AC1000 setup was easy using Router Login. You don't need to use the Nighthawk app. The signal is strong extending all through my 2400sf house and at least thirty meters out into the yard. Amazing coverage with no dead spots. I called tech support because of my unusual network and they were top notch. This router has every technical feature you'd want and I worked professionally in networking. Use it as a router or as an access point. If you have Gig internet service then you need a router with gig ports which this doesn't have but that fact apparently isn't obvious to some of the complaining reviewers. Streaming, gaming - it all works great. I turned off the 5g band because it's largely useless and just use 2.4. This is an excellent product all around. ## Features - Maximum Range : 1000 Sq Ft - FAST WiFi PERFORMANCE: Get up to 1000 sq ft wireless coverage with AC1000 speed (Dual band up to 300 + 700 Mbps) - RECOMMENDED FOR UP TO 15 DEVICES: Reliably stream videos, play games, surf the internet, and connect smart home devices. - WIRED ETHERNET PORTS: Plug in computers, game consoles, streaming players, and other nearby wired devices with 4 x 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports. - SAFE & SECURE: Supports WPA2 wireless security protocols.

Most people get the latest and greatest because they WANT it not because they need it. Keep in mind, that transfer speed between your modem and router are the true throughput limitation. If you have a device that streams 4K video, you will never be using more than around 25 MBPS. If you have Four 4K devices streaming simultaneously you can utilize a 100MBPS modem. You might actually be able to add a 5th streamer on that same network without discernable lag. If your are streaming 4K on a single device that's connected at 100MBPS..What does that get you? Nothing. If you are connected with a cell phone to your network and are surfing the internet on amazon.com or something the difference between page load times of 25MBPS vs 100MBPS . Would be something like 1 second vs 1/2 second . Why only a 50% gain? Because after 1/4 second the page is already downloaded and local processing is taking place to process and display the page. The only time you will really utilize a higher speed connection is when transferring files. Most people will not need more than 100MBPS unless they are downloading LOTS of large files, or they have many users splitting the modem bandwidth..or they have no patience whatsoever. You can start your game download and go make a sandwich. The most common case of multiple users splitting bandwidth on a 100 MBPS device connection is still usually overkill . For instance, we had 50MBPS internet. I was sharing it with my brother. We could each stream 4k video to our TV and surf the internet on our phones simultaneously without any discernable lag. Comcast gave us a free upgrade to 100MBPS. Amazingly, we both still stream video AND surf the net simultaneously with absolutely no change in our experience. Why ? Because we weren't utilizing the 50MBPS in the first place. So in reality a 100MBPS connection for a single device is usually waaay overkill for 90+% of the cases out there. If you NEED a 100+MBPS connection for your device, you will know it, because you will be one of the professionals in those industries that already knows all of this...and it will typically be a work related need, not a recreational need...except for those that are trying to download the entire internet. If you verify a 100MBPS modem connection and a 100MBPS device connection and your internet is still slow or you are having streaming problems the slowdown is 99% likely to be on the other end of the connection which is feeding you the data. In this case you can upgrade to a GBPS connection and you will still have the same prpblem. But your provider is not going to tell you that. They are going to tell you that you need more speed because that's how they make more money. And now you know. **Q: what are the two bands?** A: I believe the dual bands refer to the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks being available simultaneously. 5ghz allows for fasters speeds, but has reduced range. **Q: Do you have to connect to the internet?** A: No, there are private networks that use the same data protocols: the TCP/IP family and various versions of IEEE 802.3, among other requirements. In reality, most people would use this for either their private LAN or for connecting to the WorldWideWeb or email servers via the internet. **Q: Can you schedule for the wifi to turn on and off automatically at certain times using the app?** A: It does not provide a way to turn the Wi Fi on and off on a schedule; however you can configure the access control rules to allow or block certain devices on a schedule. The devices are identified by MAC address. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy! And a good solution for a frustrating problem. *by H***N on February 15, 2024* Worked great right out of the box.

This is an excellent product all around. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong signal, difficult documentation *by K***N on March 15, 2024* This seems to be an older model but gave me a good strong signal through several walls of interior drywall and exterior brick. Documentation is marginal. The website documentation offers the quick start guide it comes with and that directs the user to the Nighthawk app. Going through the Nighthawk app pushes sales of Netgear soft products and free trials which are difficult to work around. The device does the job, but was not the easy set up that I have experienced with Netgear products in the past. The product is working well. ## Frequently Bought Together - NETGEAR WiFi Router (R6080) - AC1000 Dual Band Wireless Speed (up to 1000 Mbps) | Up to 1000 sq ft Coverage & 15 devices | 4 x 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports | 5 GHz - Amazon Basics RJ45 Cat 6 Ethernet Patch Cable for PC, TV, Tablet, Router, Printer, 1Gpbs Transfer Speed, Gold-Plated Connectors, 5 Foot, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/47169559-netgear-wifi-router-r6080-ac1000-dual-band-wireless-speed-up](https://www.desertcart.us/products/47169559-netgear-wifi-router-r6080-ac1000-dual-band-wireless-speed-up) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
