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.

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

significant increase in speed distrubution and connectivity range compared to my provider equipment. App is easy to navigate and setup is pretty easy and to some degree autonomous
Not too bad.

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.

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
