Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is incredible. I use to have the Netgear N600 and had dead spots all over the house and dropped internet when multiple devices were on the network. This eliminated all of that! No problems at all since the upgrade. Flawless fast internet even when all devices are connected at one time (e.g. Netflix streaming, xbox gaming, laptop, iPads, Nest Thermostats, and iPhones). Use to drop internet to ipads and phones all the time. No more!

Great signal throughout the house. Doesn’t seem to drop randomly like my old one did

When our service got a bump from 40mbs to 300mbs the routers supplied by our cable company just never seemed to be up to the task. Enter netgear! We now have coverage for our entire property and beyond. No blank areas. Set up was a snap even for the not so teckno inclined !

I had been using a different router with my Xfinity internet with blast speed. It was terrible. The range was awful as it wouldn’t reach my whole house, and it only transferred a fraction of the speed I should have been receiving. Once I got this thing fired up, which was as easy as any other modem/router, my range is massive. I can use my internet while out in my yard. I have a full signal at all locations of my house now. Also, I am currently receiving the full speed through Xfinity that I should be. This was a much wanted and pleasing upgrade.

I have Comcast as my cable service and I used to pay $14 a month to rent their cable modem. Their modem worked just fine, but I wanted to lower my monthly bill, and decided on this modem/router from Netgear. Folks, you won't be disappointed! I know it can be confusing which one to buy, because there are so many options. However, if you stream Netflix, have kids at home online for school, game online, have multiple phones connected at once, or use multiple devices online at once, this modem will do the job and then some! It has plenty of speed for your everyday activities. It is a great price and will be a great money saver in the long run. Now, something to keep in mind in case you are not tech savvy. Getting this set up with your provider (Comcast, Cox, etc) will take patience and about 10-20 minutes. Once it is up and running, you will notice that the wi-fi signal will not reach its full strength and signal until it has been plugged in, and on for about an hour. This is completely normal! Test and see for yourself. Use www.speedtest.net and watch how your signal and strength will improve after about an hour of use. This router/modem combo is excellent, and will provide all of your needs for years and years. Purchase with confidence :)

The modem/router is bing used in place of Xfinity equipment. It is actually reaching farther thant their equipment. It works fine, but if a I had it to do over, I would get DOCSIS 3.1 and at least wifi 6.

Purchased combination Modem/Router to free up space. Use with Spectrum Internet, very fast, wireless coverage is pretty good (2,100 square foot home). Purchased based on recommendation of Best Buy sales associate. Did not want to pay equipment lease fee from Spectrum and it is on their list of approved Router/Modems. This is the second one of these I purchased in the last 3 years. Typical of Netgear their units last 2-3 years before starting to fail, not happy about this but while the units are working they perform excellent. Easy to set up. Only have a USB 2.0 port vs USB 3.0 which should have been upgraded by now. Overall satified with the unit.

We cut the cord with cable several years ago and since the cable company never upgrades your modem but still charges you per month for it, I decided to cut another bill with them again. I purchased this modem which is strong enough for at least 3 cell phones, an additional wi-fi extender, tablets, and all of our streaming (2 roku's) and never boggs down, and no more black outs with Sling! Plus I saved over $10 a month off my internet bill. So worth purchasing your own modem! Extremely easy to set up had it hooked up and running in about 15 minutes.

Works great! Reasonable cost. Has a great range!!!

I initially got it set up very easily. That's the good. But a couple of weeks later, I noticed my IPv6 address was going stale. Even disappearing upon restarting. (and reappearing upon cycling power). I've got that solved now. [1] the VirtualBox "Bridge Networking" driver needed to be removed, by uninstalling+reinstalling VirtualBox with that adv option turned off . that was definitely causing the problem. also, [2] Norton firewall DHCPv6 and ICMPv6 settings seemed to be interfering (I'm not so sure). [3] I also set the Netgear Genie IPv6 Address Assignment to "use DHCP server" while fumbling+debugging. (Comcast). That turns out to be a good choice I think, and the IPv6 addresses assigned to my computers are actually public on the internet. But here's where my complaint begins. The Netgear documentation is atrociously bad. It has words that fill space but explain nothing. And the Genie interface is astonishingly badly implemented in the basic things. The "Attached Devices" often are not sync'd, the device names incorrect or absent. etc. I discovered after hours and hours of testing and rebooting that you need to enable the "Security - Access Control" option and manually edit-in the devices. then what it shows is stable. sheesh. Anyway, now that I've got that sorted out, it seems to be running absolutely great. Really fast. btw. the USB 2.0 port on modern equipment is a disappointment, practically an insult. I doubt I'll bother connecting a hard drive to it for a network share, considering how slow it would be. I'm glad to see, at least, that the ReadyShare device can be disabled so it isn't another distracting unused icon cluttering the Windows Network page.

This product was easy to setup and improved my download and upload speeds significantly, compared with the Ubee modem/router provided by TWC. Before I purchased this model, I had tried a similar model with 3 antennae that were adjustable. However, I noticed WiFi weak spots as I moved further from the router (2 story home). I was told the antennae were directional but would provide stronger signal where needed. Not True! I returned that model to Best Buy and bought this one. It has much better coverage with a strong WiFi signal in every part of the house.

The app and setup are easy to use! No more rental fees from my ISP. My connection is great, both hardwired and wifi. I've had 0 issues so far and it has been a couple months. I love that I can monitor everything from the app and also set up guest wifi for when others visit. For the price, it's been well worth it. I have multiple devices connected at once, both hardwire and wireless, and I never see drops or lag.

Set up in a new 3200 sq ft home. The 2.4gz band covers the ENTIRE home, even all the way out to the garage. The 5gh is strong for the immediate areas (haven't tested it's range as of yet), but I have no issues with the connectivity whatsoever. The set-up was simple, and I'm definitely sold on the one device.... not one modem and one router taking up space. A+.

Excellent Router. Set up very smooth with Comcast. You can activate the device yourself using comcast app or web which is so nice not having to wait for support. Love the combo modem router as it eliminates a box and a power supply and the cabling from modem to router. Also since these devices are made by the same company compatibility config issues are eliminated. Now I can easily move this device which is fairly compact easily from one area of my home to another if I need to. One hint I would like to give the small pct of people who are getting dropped connections is to install a wall timer that reboots the router in the middle of the night.I had a R7000 nighthawk that seemed fo get messed up especially when connecting multiple times to netflix and or amazon prime. The timer turns off at 2am and back on at 201 am. That solved all my dropped connection issues. I will see if I get similar issues with this router and if so I will plug it into the timer. So far (only 2 days) but working perfectly. Wifi signal strength is very good and even a little stronger than the R7000 which is amazing as it has no external antennas. One more tip for those who do not see the 5g wifi signal. Change the “channel” for the 5g band from 156 to 48 or test other channels until the 5g signal shows up.

Bought this to replace the modem I was renting with my cable company and it’s a lifesaver. Setup was quick and easy and I haven’t had any issues with wifi speed since switching to this modem. My old modem had lag issues but I have not experienced that with the Netgear modem.

Got this to replace an older Nighthawk that died after 5 years. Easy to use. The router/WiFI combo is always nice to have. Was up and running in under 10 minutes (had to call Spectrum so they could add the MAC address to their systems). Once that was done I was pulling down about 200Mbps/25Mbps. I have about 10 devices hooked up to this and they all run fine. It easily covers about 1500 square feet.

Great modem router combo for an average size house. My place is 1300 sq ft and it reaches all areas of my house no problem. I have Arlo cameras and they have no trouble connecting outside from 40 to 50 ft away. I don't have a ton of devices, 7 total. A few cameras, 4K Smart TV, tablet, phone, networked home audio receiver. No issues at all with this many devices working at the same time. It seems like it would be good for 1500 to 2000 ft house with 10ish devices. I think over that you would need to get something with more range. I've had it for almost a year and work from home 5 days a week. It's been very reliable and it's only been restarted a couple times for any Wi-Fi issues. Comcast cable, not so much.. lol

Really easy installation. I replaced a Verizon FIOS router with this product and it has certainly increased my speed. I have 3 other routers connected through the ethernet ports of this unit. Works perfectly in all corners of my house. I have both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands working for 2 wifi networks

I purchased the Nighthawk Router to replace Router being rented to me by ISP. Now getting full 200 Mbps download speeds as service is rated for. 2G band reaches everywhere in 2700 sq. ft. home. No more extenders, no additional wire routers needed. Accepts many devices with simultaneous access without issues. Wired and wireless devices getting pretty much same results in speed tests. I am very happy.

Ah, the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Router with DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - it's like a race car that was the envy of every driver... a few years ago. Back then, it zoomed through the internet superhighway, leaving lag and buffering in the dust. With its sleek design and powerful signal, it was the cool kid on the block. But alas, time spares no tech. The world moved to DOCSIS 3.1, and our Nighthawk, still rocking 3.0, is like trying to join a high-speed chase with a horse and buggy. It's the gadget equivalent of still owning a VCR in the Netflix era. Sure, it's great for nostalgia, but when it comes to keeping up with today's internet speeds offered by many companies, it's like bringing a knife to a laser gun fight. In short, while the Nighthawk AC1900 was once a beacon of connectivity and speed, it now waves goodbye to the newer, faster internet speeds zipping by. A reminder that in the tech world, you either update or become a charming relic of the past.
