Great device, much better than the device provided by the cable company.

I was having an internet problem and thought my modem might be the problem. I went to Best Buy and bought the Nighthawk AC1900 Modem/Router. The installation / activation instructions were easy to follow and I had my computer up and running in no time. Highly recommend this product.

Bought this router to consolidate devices as I transitioned from one ISP to another. The management interface was simple and intuitive, and performance is exactly what I had hoped for.

After I ordered cable service from Comcast and learned the annual cost to lease the router they would provide, I knew there had to be a less expensive option. I called Comcast to obtain a list of compatible routers, selected one, purchased and set it up. I’ve never regretted my decision. This router works better than those provided by Comcast. It’s faster (Yes I checked using an app on my cell phone.) This one is more dependable and setup was a breeze. The router will pay for itself in the first year!
Buy your own router and avoid the leasing game that cable companies would rather you engage in.

I'm certainly no expert but this definitely works better than the lousy one we were paying Time Warner for every month! It will pay for itself in less than a year. Easy to setup.

Home networking still appears to be in its infancy. The market is full of options but nothing truly stands out as the best. That being said, the time I've used this modem/router option has been good. Like every router I've used, there is the need for occasional reset/power cycle. Speeds are great (according to speed test apps) but even when I'll see 200 Mbps of speed, loading a webpage or starting a video will sometimes take longer than expected. I play online games & with this router the latency seems to be better than others.
Overall this is the best option I've tried. It's not perfect (hence the 4 stars) but I believe most, if not all, will be happy with this purchase. Only note, if you're not looking for the highest speeds and/or you are not subscribed to one of your IPS higher tier plans, there are much cheaper options.

Only issue I had was that I had to call Cox and go through a few steps to get this fully activated. Not difficult, more annoying as I assumed it would be a simple "plug and play" type thing. Otherwise, speed is good, connection is solid.

Purchased this after moving to a new home..one with plenty of "smart home" features at that. This has kept up flawlessly and helped keep our speeds where they should be. Confidently can say if we had a modem/router from the cable-internet company we would have slower speeds.
For reference there are only two of us in the house but half a dozen handheld devices (phones and iPads) plus two work computers and a personal computer. Obviously we don't use all at once but when visitors are at our house we can provide them with consistent WiFi access.

This works fast and reliably. I can watch netflix and surf the internet without stopping to buffer. So glad to get rid of my comcast equipment and not pay their rental fee.

This router is perfect for my new home. It has good range and is more than adequate for my needs. Between the both of us we have 8-10 devices and haven't had any problems.

So far, I'm very happy with this modem/router combined unit. Not sure why it took so long to come up with a one-piece solution but at last it's here. I've been a loyal Netgear customer and this unit does not disappoint. It's got better home coverage than the previous unit, which was separate from the modem. I actually moved it to a less conspicuous and less central location in the house, yet the coverage is better. I recommend it; I would buy it again.
