    This router/modem combo is perfect for my gaming setup. I went from turtle slow internet at home to lightning fast internet when I moved out, and this gives me download speeds 50+ mbps faster than the speed I pay for per month from Xfinity. CoD season updates that used to take 2 days to complete are now done before I get home from work. 10/10 would recommend.

    I have the 250mbps with cox, and it works just fine. It's also rated to work with the 500mbps with them, so if I decide to upgrade my plan then I'll already have a capable modem in place. Also with the 4 yr warranty, this saves me at least 4 years of modem fees.

    This router replaced my previous Netgear router which had the wireless output fail after about a year. The unit functions exactly the way I would want, and without glitches or problems. Speed is near the max of what my provider allows, and the up time is about 99.9%. As long as I get good longevity out of it, I would buy again as well as recommend to others.

    I recently replaced my Xfinity modem/router with this one because I don't need the phone ability. This one gives me higher peak speeds in both 2.4 and 5. It does get warm on occasion, but probably because I ideally have it on the bottom shelf of my stand next to the PlayStation. Recommend keeping it on a top shelf or elsewhere to maximize heat dissapation. Overall it will be awesome when I finally pay this sucker off in saved leasing fees. Cheers!

    This modem router combination functions as advertised. The signal is strong and we do not overwhelm this product with a large number of devices. I am discovering that a problem exists with Mediacom and the strength of the signal. The maintenance of a strong signal is required for this device to operate at full capacity. There seems to be a problem with our cable service. There will be more investigation on our end.

    I was renting the basic router from my cable company paying every month for a router that didn't provide the service needed. After a service call to check said router technician adviced to stop paying for their router and invest on my own. After thinking about it made the decision and bought this from a local store, it was very easy to install and just like that my wifi went from barely getting signal to having the best signal up to about half a block away.

    This nighthawk router is superior to my previous netgear cable modem in every way, was dropping internet and couldn't log into modem with other one, but this modem is super easy and haven't dropped since I purchased, has plenty of wifi and internet strength to accommodate 3 people streaming or gaming at once with zero buffering, would highly recommend

    Prior to getting the Nighthawk we had a much lighter weight modem and router. Our internet was spotty at times and live tv would freeze to catch up when we streamed. Alexa wouldn't work from time to time or would lose connection while playing music. Haven't had a single issue since we installed the Nighthawk. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to this if you have a lower grade modem or router.

    Product works better than the Xfinity provided modem/router but still isn’t perfect. With an infant and 2 year old, we stream their cameras when napping and overnight. It continually cuts in and out during the night. Not sure if it’s just too much action on one router but I wouldn’t think so. Still better than what we had before but I assume there could be better out there. Good for the price. Setup was very easy, app works fine.
