What customers say
Customers generally appreciate the NETGEAR Nighthawk CAX80 for its impressive speed and the convenience of a combined modem and WiFi 6 router. Many users find the initial setup process straightforward, quickly enjoying robust internet performance across numerous devices. However, a notable segment of feedback points to inconsistent reliability, with some experiencing occasional connectivity drops or the need for reboots. While its powerful capabilities are a highlight, the premium price tag means expectations for flawless, consistent operation are very high, leading to mixed feelings on overall value when reliability falters.
