    NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S AC4000 Tri-band WiFi Router, Gigabit Ethernet, MU-MIMO, Compatible with Amazon Echo/Alexa (R8000P)

    • This router is pretty amazing: signals are stronger (I noticed that first using my Kindles out on the patio) and load-up time for things like Amazon Prime Movies seems faster (though I'm not sure why that is)
    • If you're wondering what beam-forming is, it's technology that allows the router to determine which of its antennae are receiving the most traffic and then diverting power from the unused antennae to boost the signal to those experiencing all the traffic

    • It sits on one end of a 2244 sqft ranch in our office but so far is providing a stronger signal than we've ever gotten with E series Linksys units or even a previous
    • Router works as advertised; very powerful & strong signal
    • For example my router is right above my ring unit and I’m constantly getting poor signal notifications from ring and or if I try to do a live
    • I originally had a X6 AC3200 router that I've used for the past year and while I had not complaints, this one sends a signal that is more stable and faster at longer range.
    • Wireless signal is awesome through my house
    • Aside from experimenting with antenna placement to improve the kitchen signal it has been a set-up and forget device for me.
    • We have no problem getting excellent wifi signal on the second floor (2 floors up from the basement)
    • Sometimes the TV on the first floor loses the 5GHz signal for a moment, but otherwise no problems
    • This router also has a fantastic wireless signal, I have no dead spots in my house.
    • The signal is strong enough to give me full access all around my yard and even up the street quite a bit

    • This way you're getting the best signal for your house (mostly) regardless of router placement
    • Strong and consistent signal so far (two weeks)
    • We almost don't even need the access point anymore because the signal from this new primary router is so good

    • Netflix WiFi streaming is the same clear HD quality signal I get from the GF box so the quality is at least as good as what I currently have.

    • I love the options it has in regards to networks and optimization’s for newer and legacy products in my home
    • I wanted to upgrade though in the hope I could get a better 5-G signal and speeds in my kitchen where I frequently use my laptop

    • Excellent coverage and fastest speeds on 5G-2
    • As with our last Netgear router, we found that this has a very easy set up
