  • Our take on the Netgear Nighthawk CAX80

    The Nighthawk CAX80 is a cable modem router combo: a DOCSIS 3.1 modem and a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router in one chassis. It tops out at 6 Gbps combined (1.2 Gbps on 2.4 GHz, 4.8 Gbps on 5 GHz) and adds a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port plus five Gigabit LAN ports, so it can feed multi-gig internet and wired gear without a separate modem. That makes it a one-box upgrade for cable households with fast plans, while mesh systems and tri-band routers beat it on whole-home coverage and on flexibility if you later switch to fiber. Owners like the setup and the wired speed; the common complaints are its size, its price tier and middling range at the edges of a large home.

    Best forCable internet households on fast plansReplacing a separate modem and router with one boxHomes with wired devices that need multi-gig portsGamers and streamers who want low-latency wired links
    Pros
    • Built-in DOCSIS 3.1 modem handles cable plans up to multi-gig
    • Wi-Fi 6 dual-band with 6 Gbps combined throughput
    • 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for high-speed wired connections
    • Five Gigabit LAN ports plus one USB port
    • One device to set up and manage instead of two
    Cons
    • No mesh support, so coverage depends on one unit
    • Dual-band only; no 6 GHz band like tri-band Wi-Fi 6E routers
    • Large footprint for a shelf or cabinet
    • Single USB port limits attached storage or printers
    • Modem side is cable-only, so it is useless on fiber or DSL

    What reviewers say

    Reviewers rate the CAX80 well for setup, wired speed and stable Wi-Fi 6 performance on fast cable plans. The recurring criticisms are its bulk, its range in larger homes and the fact that it locks you to cable.

    What people mention
    • SetupPraisedOwners say the app walks you through activation and setup quickly.
    • Wired speedPraisedThe 2.5 Gigabit port delivers near-plan wired speeds on fast cable tiers.
    • SizeCriticisedReviewers call it large and awkward to fit on a shelf or in a cabinet.
    • RangeMixedWi-Fi 6 is fast up close, but coverage thins at the edges of larger homes.
    • Modem lock-inCriticisedBuyers note the cable modem makes the unit useless if they move to fiber.

    Questions and answers

    Does the CAX80 replace my cable modem?
    Yes. It has a built-in DOCSIS 3.1 modem, so it replaces both your modem and router. You activate it with your cable provider instead of plugging into an existing modem.
    Is it worth it over a separate modem and router?
    It saves space and one power brick and gives you a 2.5 Gigabit port in one box. A separate setup gives more choice and easier upgrades, especially if you may switch away from cable.
    Does it support mesh or Wi-Fi 6E?
    No. It is a single dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router with no mesh pairing and no 6 GHz band. For whole-home coverage or 6E, look at a mesh system instead.
    How many devices can I plug in?
    There are five Gigabit LAN ports plus one 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, and one USB port for storage or a printer. That covers a small switch, a console, a PC and a NAS.
    Will it work with my internet provider?
    It works with cable providers that support DOCSIS 3.1. It does not work on fiber, DSL or fixed wireless services.
    What is in the box?
    The modem router, a power adapter, an Ethernet cable and a quick start guide. Coaxial cable and any provider-specific filters are not included.
