Q: Does this Router also act as the modem for the internet connection? In other words, is it a modem and a router, in a single device?
submitted by Armis - 3 years ago
A: Hi, Armis! Regarding your question about the Netgear Nighthawk 5-Stream Dual Band Wi-Fi 6 Router (RAX43): This is the router alone. A modem with a built-in router is called a "gateway", which is also available here on the site! If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact MyTGTtech at 877-698-4883 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Definitely an improvement!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the Rax43 has been doing great except for the past couple of weeks! I have been having serious connection issues with my WiFi. I believe that the issue is an issue with my provider and not the Rax43, as I have had ongoing issues with my provider hints why I purchased your device…..! Overall I believe that your device has been an outstanding improvement to my setup despite the issues with my provider! Thank you for the quality product!!

Great performance but tricky install
This product definitely improved the performance of my home network. It's a perfect upgrade. Installing from the app was complicated as I previously had a nighthawk and the app wouldn't recognize the new one.

Fast, Reliable, and Great for Modern Homes
I’ve been using the Netgear Nighthawk AX5 (AX5400) router for a few months now, and overall, it’s been a solid upgrade from my previous router. It’s a great mid-range WiFi 6 option for homes with multiple devices, streaming, and light gaming needs. Pros: • WiFi 6 Performance: The AX5 delivers noticeably faster speeds and better stability, especially in congested environments with several connected devices. • Strong Coverage: I get full coverage across a two-story home (~2,500 sq ft) without needing an extender. • Easy Setup: The Nighthawk app made installation straightforward. Firmware updates are also easy to manage. • Good for Streaming

My internet speed is 100% faster
I love the fact that the app keeps me notified and armor keeps me secure. Since installing the router, my speeds all around have been so much faster and my band width covers my entire home. 10/10 recommend!

The Tale of the Disconnected Router: A Modem Tragedy
This is my third and final Netgear router! When I unboxed this Wi-Fi router, I was brimming with hope. Its sleek design promised performance, reliability, and effortless connectivity. Yet, the reality has been anything but. From the moment I set it up, it has refused to fulfill its one purpose in life: connecting me to the internet. Despite hours of troubleshooting, following every user guide, resetting it more times than I care to admit, and even a few desperate pleas to the tech gods, this router remains steadfastly offline. It taunts me with blinking LEDs that suggest activity, but they may as well be Morse code for "not today." My devices stare back at me, forlorn and disconnected, as if mourning the promise of a fast and stable network that never came to fruition. What makes it all the more frustrating is the complete lack of feedback. It's as if the router exists in its own silent world, unwilling to share why it won't connect or what I can do to change its mind. I've tried multiple configurations, different cables, and even a brief stint of staring at it with disappointment, but nothing seems to work.

Good small home performance but falls short
The RAX43 offers decent performance for the price point (refurbished unit). The wifi 6 provides better speeds than my previous router and I've noticed less congestion with multiple devices. Setup, however, wasn't
