Easy to install. Bought renewed. But ited was in excellent quality. Did not come in original box but it had all the accessories and manuals included. No complaints. Firmware updates easily and quickly. No drops in connection but only less than 20 devices connected. And not all at the same time. Full speed via ethernet also.

Instalación muy simple y mejoras en la velocidad y distancia.

A while back I had purchased a NETGEAR Nighthawk RAXE500 router because I couldn't get decent speeds at the other end of the house where I spend the majority of my time with previous routers and had even tried an extender without much improvement. Still not satisfied with the modest improvement with the RAXE500 because of too many barriers throughout the house, I made the decision to buy this NETGEAR RAXE300 and set it up as an Access Point after running one hundred feet of CAT 6e ethernet cable to connect the two. I called NETGEAR Tech Support just to make sure I had a clean install from the beginning and I'm really glad I did, they were excellent to work with and what was once only a dream, now is a reality because as you can see by the inset picture, I'm getting a solid 700 plus Wi-Fi download speeds from my 1 Gbps download, 20 Gbps upload modem at the other end of the house. The router was simple to set up, no hiccups from start to finish. I get consistent speeds all day long and the app you can download for your phone makes it easy to log on from anywhere to check on it or make changes. The router itself is a very cool looking piece of electronic wizardry and has 6 strategically placed antennas placed throughout the wings. I give this NETGEAR RAXE300 5 Stars for cool design, consistency of speeds, ease of setup and cost to emotional value.

This item arrived DOA. Never get refurbished though Amazon. After 2 weeks of shipping it was annoying to find this router wouldn't even power on.

Este router lo compré para reemplazar el R7800 y estoy muy satisfecho por el cambio, tengo el doble de velocidad de transferencia comparado con el 7800, es súper estable, no lo reinicié desde que lo compré a la fecha que estoy escribiendo este comentario.Tiene muy buen alcance en un radio de 100m2.El único detalle que tiene es que en México no se la banda de 6GHZ, por ende si lo compras pensando usar esa banda, con este router no va, por eso le saco una estrella.Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Finally overloaded my venerable old Linksys WRT 1900 AC router with too many devices & it would just choke up & overheat until I power cycled it. Again. It did that when it was new too, but the signal strength & massive coverage I got with it made it worth the trouble of cycling pwr once every 2 or 3 weeks. Until it was every other day & that’s when I started looking at a replacement.Did the research on latest tech wifi & was totally surprised at finding wifi 6 & 6E. Cutting edge stuff in June, 2021. Not a lot of choices either but then not a lot of comparisons to mull over. (Duckduckgo is your friend) So after reading up on the new tech & available hardware, I decided on the Netgear RAXE500.Like I said, I have a LOT of devices on my network – Alexa, alarm systems, wireless security cameras, assorted laptops, desktops, iPhones, iPads printers & scanners…whew. I figured on a full day or two to set up the new WIFI router but was pleasantly surprised. I just reused the same SSIDs & PWD’s from the old Linksys router & everything just automatically (re)connected to the Nighthawk like old pals. Took like about 5 or 10 minutes.Netgear wants you to do the entire install via the IOS or Droid app which is fine if you don’t care about the finer details like changing defaults or tweaking passwords or other icky stuff. The app is actually pretty slick in that it does ALL the administrative typing of serial numbers, model numbers “unique” SSIDs, PWDs, MAC addresses etc for you & you just have to set up an email address & PWD for your user account at Netgear. Most of which can be edited & changed later if you like via the app or the web interface (192.168.1.1 just like everyone else) which is easier for me but to each his own. Having all the basics covered in the first few minutes is pretty awesome in my mind so all that’s left is to go a-tweaking in the ill-conceived browser interface.Don’t get me wrong, the browser interface works very well if you can find what you’re looking for in it, it just looks like it was designed by a disgruntled, color blind code engineer who hates his job & wants you to hate his boss as much as he does.But I digress. Another thing I noticed about this Nighthawk AXE500 is that it’s pretty big. 13 inches wide by about 10 inches deep is a lot of bookshelf real estate. Antennas are roughly “book height” so no problem there really. It looks cool anyway.Did I mention this thing is unbelievably fast? Well it is.Netgear Community (https://community.netgear.com) leaves a bit much to the imagination. I think it was organized by the same disgruntled engineer who wrote the User Manual & Web Interface. Everything you could ever need is there if you can find it, you just need to be creative. Or lucky. Still, Duckduckgo will get you answers faster than searching their site. It’s a *Feature*.All in all, I recommend the Nighthawk AXE500 highly. With all its faults, it’s still an awesome upgrade if you are in need of a new router. It is brand new technology just hitting the market so you can’t expect it to be totally flawless yet. If you can wait for more updates to WIFI 6E you probably should & you’ll probably be happier you did. But I would still allow my big sister to have one of these without worries even though she’s a crazy artist type who doesn’t actually know bits from bytes or WI from FI, if you know what I mean. She would probably plug in all her cables, stuff it into a wicker basket somewhere in a corner with plastic flowers sticking out of it where the cats would play & it would just sit there & be blinding fast WFI for her for years without her ever having to move away from her iPhone or Mac.Pros:-Seriously faster than AC, even on the same devices/hardware with no modifications. Throughput is phenomenal.-Unbelievably easy setup – like 10 minutes? Coverage is really, REALLY good – way better than what I was getting from the old router even they are both 802.11AC. As soon as it’s plugged in, it looks for an internet connection & will automatically phone home for firmware updates. (In case you’ve never dealt with routers or network hardware before-it just does all the things you should have thought of before calling tech support lol)-The Nighthawk RAXE500 lust LOOKS cool wherever you put it. Like having a miniature X-Wing Fighter on your bookshelf.-WIFI connections to devices are bullet proof. No dropping signal any time even on legacy hardware.-You can make backups of your config file anytime you want manually or set autobackups on a schedule.Cons:-Damned expensive.-Netgear Armor Free Trial installs whether you want it or not & there’s no way to stop it or turn it off once it’s there. (I will add to this review after the free trial period expires to let you know what happens when I decline the $70/month pay-to-play).-Do NOT check the box to enable mandatory use of https for wireless access as it disconnected my Nighthawk app from ever logging back on to the router without a complete factory restore & full setup again. (Web interface was just fine though & if I’m honest, full factory restore & setup is only another 10 minutes out of your day, so WTF? It’s all the little details & tweaks that take up your time anyway right?)UPDATE: -After the free 1 month trial of Netgear Armor was over & I didn’t fall for paying $70 to continue subscription, it just turned itself off & that was it. No having to reconfigure anything or any pain at all. Although I still get “Special Offers” from Netgear at drastically reduced pricing for another year of coverage. (Last one I got was about $30 for 1 year plus auto-renew for ever after at $70. No thanks)Things to think about:-For full WIFI 6E you will need to replace WIFI NICs to an Intel ax210 card.WIFI 6E is out but Windows 10 doesn’t support it, we will have to wait for Win 11 to see how all this shakes out.-Linux kernel 5.11 will support it but I haven’t had any luck with it yet. Ubuntu 21.04 can detect the signal but I can’t get it to connect yet. I think WPA3 is an issue.-On the whole, this has been rock solid for months now & I’m very pleased with it.
