Customer Ratings & Reviews

My cable internet service speed was increased a few months ago to 300 mbps. My prior modem, a Motorola Surfboard, was only getting 100. Also, recently I had to start rebooting every day or other day because my speeds would suddenly drop; rebooting fixed that. So I really had two problems to solve for the modem. For the router, I had actually purchased an AC router (Netgear) in January of 2015 and it generally did a fine job. However, about after six months of usage, it started dropping the internet connectivity for devices connected wirelessly; wired devices were fine. A reboot would fix that. I never was able to resolve that so decided to try the approach of an integrated unit. Theoretically less "moving" pieces. It was very easy to set up. I ended up having to talk to a technician at Time Warner but I don't think that was the fault of the modem. I think they had issues with the device registration site. But it was painless and I quickly got it set up to my usual SSID and such. The signal in the house is pretty strong. I have a two story of about 3500 square feet and the device is at one end of the house and still has solid strength at the other end (home built in 2006 to give you and idea of what the walls might be like). When I run speedtest, depending on the server, I can actually get 320 download speed and consistently get between 20 and 23 upload speed. There are parental controls but as my kids are now over 21, I haven't had to use parental controls in many years. So I cannot speak for the ease of use or quality of them. The web admin interface (Genie) loads very quickly, much more quickly than the old router I had with the same interface. In the interface, you can set up as much detail as you want it appears. You can block specific services to specific ports and even to the level of specific IPs on your network. I've not had to really do that but nice to know it is there. There is also the ability to provide access control so you specifically enable devices based on their MAC address. Not that the MAC couldn't be spoofed but if you are have concerns about others getting into your network even if you have a password on your network, you can implement further levels of access control. A feature I haven't used on this device but used in the prior router (same feature) is plugging in a USB devices, specifically a hard drive I have in an external case. You can use this to create network accessible storage directly using USB from the router/modem. I found it worked rather well. The other option is attaching a printer. That would be really useful if you have a nice printer that doesn't have a network connection and you want to make it available to your network. Or, if it only has a wired connection and you don't want to use any of the Ethernet ports. There are four Ethernet ports. I use a hardwired connection for my desktop and work laptop, my NAS, and then a run I have to a Harman Karman receiver. I've had no issues with any of the ports and they all seem to get full throughput. The wireless performance I've not dived into greatly but I definitely measured 100 download speed from a laptop connected tot he 5G network segment halfway across the house. Of course time will tell (I've been running this about two weeks now) but so far I'm please with the purchase. I chose to invest a bit more than originally planned (this cost me $280 before tax) but I wanted to try to be forward looking. I had also considered the AC 1750 which is about $80 cheaper. I hope this helps. Good luck in your purchase.

I purchased this after seeing a review on YouTube. I have suddenlink as my provider and my speed is around 400mb/s, which is well under the limit of this device. I was using the provided router modem and using speed tests on my phone or Xbox I rarely would see actual speeds anywhere close to that or even half of that. I now have blazing fast WiFi that supports all my devices simultaneously. I do a bit of online gaming and my load times are better, download speeds are awesome, and as far as YouTube or Netflix I haven’t had to have anything buffer even once. All of this performance on all my devices is via WiFi. If my Xbox setup was ok the same floor and able to reach for hard wire I’m sure it’d Be even better. Setup was a breeze even without a computer. I used my iPhone when it tried to auto connect to the WiFi. Berger’s has an app to help setup but I personally found it easier to use my browser to do that instead of the app. In short I dropped $11 a month in equipment rental fees and scored this one on sale for Father’s Day for $154.99. Really hard to pass up especially when I had a few $5 reward credits to use as well.

I recently signed up for TWC 300Mbps, using the equipment provided by them I maxed out at 152 Mbps when directly connected to the router. I bought this baby and my last speed test came back with 349 Mbps! Keep in mind that I was directly connected to the router with a CAT 6 Ethernet cable. My WiFi in the house I am seeing speeds of 150 Mbps and higher. This was easy to setup and has boosted the range and speeds of my home network. This was well worth the money to purchase. I am very happy with my new modem/router. I will buy the matching Range extender soon to.

Love Netgear. This is the 2nd one I have purchased. Very easy setup. Unfortunately I have to return for a Higher speed.

Definitely a great router and modem Better than paying the cable companies every month just to rent there’s good wifi strong signal throughout a two story house

Easy setup and flawless connection at 200mbps at my use. It’s capable of much faster speeds. Easily supports 1500sq ft. A great all in one solution that still has some longevity as far as life of technology. Would purchase again!

I was tired of paying a monthly fee to Xfinity so I finally broke down and bought a router/modem. Works great, fast has great range in the house and most important the setup took about 5 minutes. Easiest router I have ever connected Highly recommend this one

Its a great modem router combo. Works perfect for high-speed internet. Has option of 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks to work at same time. Great price and great performance. Easy to setup and easy to control using the App.

Quick set up and nice network tools included. Delivers excellent speed and reliability. Very consistent and strong signal. Produces over 150 Mbts on my Comcast Boost plan. Much more reliable and consistent than my former router.

Very easy setup with Xfinity, good speeds, basically just worked right out of the box with minimal setup to let Xfinity know about the change in modem. Highly recommend for a family that needs basic connection for TV, gaming, and basic home Internet.

Very easy to set up (especially using Netgear iPhone/iPad App), easy to use, very reliable so far. Like dual band choice, functional indicator lights very helpful. Like having cable modem and wireless router in single device (don't have to authorize, set up, and manage two separate devices). Strong wireless signal through out house allowed removal of wireless signal booster. Modem/router meets expectations and needs.

So bought this to return the cheap rental modem from spectrum and save money which pays itself. I have a good speed package 200+mb and barely getting 90 for my Xbox. After the easy installation process that took less than 10 min my speeds jumped crazy. Peaking at over 232mb 24/7 all times of day on my Xbox when I play and find games. ZERO LAG when everyone on Netflix and there devices. Range is also really good way better than my other one. My phone speed went from 40mb top to about the same 230+ it’s just amazing this product and easy to use on your phone connecting devices and mapping them. my only regret not buying this a long time ago :(

This was very easy to setup and connect. We have a strong signal and know that we are protected as well. We stream, video game and internet at the same time in our house and this has been a wonderful router for our home and family.

I got this as our old router finally went bad on us and Xfinity told us that we could go grab a new one from Bestbuy. I picked this up and it was immediately plug in and go! I also notice everything runs much more faster - I would definitely recommend this as it's also a very reasonable price!

just bought it today and the setup was easy, had to call my internet provider to setup on their end,netgear website is easy to use and wifi ssid and password setup is a breeze haven't tried out the parental control yet but will do when i have the time. the price was $199.99 and i didn't know it was on sale and was $16.00 discounted. So far NETGEAR - Nighthawk Dual-Band AC1900 Router been working very good, by the way i have spectrum internet 100mbps and with this Netgear Nighthawk router I did 2 test 1 test is with my ether net wire and it tested at 100mbps and 2nd test was with my wifi adapter which is the N network and it also tested at 100mbps. So yes this NETGEAR - Nighthawk Dual-Band AC1900 Router is worth the money, but it's not compatible with certain internet provider.

First off , easy to use . Easy to set up . You can control EVERYTHING with this router/modem combo . You can set websites you don’t want used , block IP addresses you don’t want on you network , toggle 2.4 & 5 ghz on and off as you please . And if you’re tired of spending 15-25 dollars a month on renting one from your ISP. Look no further . Here is , in my opinion , the best option available . Great for gaming , streaming , etc . Constant connection and I have no spikes , drops or any issues with connectivity at all . Plus for my situation in about 6 month of using this and the “rental” not being on my bill, it will pay for itself .

Works really well, easy to connect. Anybody can do it.

Great wifi router. Im not very tech savy but the setup for this was crazy easy. Havent had any kind of problems whatsoever. Setup is upstairs in the bedroom and the signal reaches all over just fine.even to the outdoor cameras. Definitely recommend.

Easy to install No problems Strength is very good We definitely recommend to family and friends

Works like a charm. Easy setup and connected to all my devices instantly. Send strong signals to my Tesla sitting in the garage. Good riddance rental equipments. Freedom!!
