Comcast compatible. All in one WiFi modem and router. Will handle the speed plus if I upgrade my internet it will handle in the future. Easy setup. Must call XFINITY to finish the setup. Will certainly pay for itself in just a year vs renting .

This router is working well. It seems to be stronger than the old one which I had to rent from Comcast for $10.00 a month. I bought this one to get rid of that charge and to strengthen the WIFI throughout my house. It was pricey and will take 18 months to pay for itself. I am expecting it to last several years. The setup was easy once we got over the hump of getting it registered with Comcast. Afterwards, it was a breeze to get all the devices logged back in to the WIFI.

It's very easy to use, I like how it's a modem and wireless router all in one (one less box on my floor and 2 fewer cords). The range is good, I have a 1500 sq ft townhome and it has great wireless coverage. It's also been quite reliable and haven't had to really power cycle it to get it to keep working as the connection has been consistent.

I had the same router for a decade prior to buying this. My old one could no longer handle the internet at an adequate speed so I bought this new one. Immediate improvement internet faster than ever upload and download speeds are lighting fast. The nighthawk app that’s advertised with this device DOESN’T WORK! But you don’t need to to set up the device and have it function.

My old N300 was rock solid, but 3 years old and only N speed. I tried a "refurbished" AC1750 modem/router online, and had nothing but headaches and disconnects. Bit the bullet and bought this AC1900 at the BestBuy store. Hooked it up with all my stuff, and not a single hiccup since (1 week). No restarts, no disconnects. And it is 2-3 times faster on the 2.4 ghz band, and I get 150-160 mps on the 5 ghz band. The range is good too. Don't hesitate.

After being with centuryLink for over a decade, I decided it was enough. paying for internet that works only half the time was getting too old. Never really made a changed till they decide to charge me double for very slow speed. Got rid of century link and went with comcast. This Net gear router modem was on top of comcast list so I figured why not. Beside, for the price of the router it will pay for itself in two months if I had stayed with centurylink. The setup was very easier, speed was insanely good on 5ghz 2.4 ghz has plenty of range. I've had it for over a month and haven't notice any speed drops or cut offs. On 2.4 GHZ I was getting around 70-85 Mbps and 170Mbps on 5 ghz. I think its worth the money if speed is important to you. Get this router and you won't be disappointed. Since this router is on comcast's list the customer support was top notch. IME don't buy a router not on their list otherwise they will make excuse to not ton help you troubleshoot if you have any issues.

The range on this one is excellent! My home is ~2500 sq ft and I don't need an extender. I placed the modem on my main floor and my wireless TV and other devices in the basement still get a great signal. Mind you, the bandwidth of course varies at different locations in the house, especially the farther I get from the modem, but performance is excellent. I'm very pleased.

This is an outstanding cable modem/router. It performs flawlessly, is quite fast, and saves me from having to rent a cable company-provided device, with a break-even period of fifteen months. It was incredibly easy to configure and use. I have 40+ years of IT work experience, and was so impressed have since bought a second, identical device for another family member.
Great device, so much better than renting from ISP

-Extremely easy set up with Comcast, didn’t even need to call them just used app.
-Fast speeds: it just is so much better than the router modem I was renting from Comcast.
-App is helpful
-I have a small 2 bedroom spot I live in and it’s perfect for us, full bars in all rooms.

This modem / router combo delivers the full internet speed we're paying for over a very good range. The setup was extremely easy. You can go right through their nighthawk app which is really easy to use. I recommend this to anyone with about 3,000 ft² or less. The signal also goes through a wall through a garage and into a workshop in the backyard. The range is great.

I've been looking to upgrade my router for quite some time. I had my previous Netgear router for 6 years. While it still worked, I had planned to upgrade my internet speed and wanted something that could take advantage of it. I also wanted to cut down on the number of electronic devices I have sitting around. So, this modem/router combo was perfect, and I had been eyeing for quite a while.
Pros: Fast, easy to set up, and 2 products in one.
Cons: Not really a con, but I've had a couple of drop outs since I installed this thing, hopefully it won't continue in the future. Also, can not upgrade the firmware at will, at least not to my research. You have to wait for the internet company to release any firmware updates which is a bummer. Oh, and any mobile devices wirelessly connected to this thing occasionally have dropouts as well, something I never experienced on my previous router.
Overall though, I'm happy I made this purchase and can't wait to take advantage of it's speed potential once I upgrade my internet package.

I've had this since January 2019 and have had nothing since the day purchased it. I'm still using it for more than 2 years and 4 months. I would say the best router I'm using for a long time. This model worth buying & save your ISP monthly rental. I'm a certified IT professional. Do not hesitate and buy, buy, and Best Buy!!

We purchased this because our prior WiFi quit working. This covers our entire house without adding extenders. It took a bit to get it connected. The performace has been very good. No lag in connectivity with as many as 8 devices being connected at a time. Definitely recommend this product.

Easy setup, the hardest part was working with my ISP, but that is not a reflection of the product.
After I got it going I ran a few speed tests, the speeds were faster than I was previously getting.
My favorite part was the reach, I had several dead spots in my apartment with the old router I had. Those are all gone with this one! I get a good connection everywhere

I had to recently replace my Motorola modem/router (which only lasted 2.5 years before going bad). Like many, I am now working from home and needed stable and fast internet access. Having only used my wi-fi for streaming and the occasional download, I hadn't realized how bad my connection was until I was forced to work from home. After several troubleshooting calls with my internet provider I was told that the problem was with my gateway modem. Rather than calling Motorola to troubleshoot, I decided to just purchase a newer, better modem/router combo. I spent two days researching the best unit for my needs that would work in the Xfinity network. The Netgear C7000-100NAS received consistently great reviews across the board. I just spent spent 5 minutes installing it and I couldn't be happier. The quick start guide was all I needed to connect and activate on my Xfinity network, I was very happy that I didn't have to bother with calling their tech support to activate. I'm on a 100mbps plan and where I was getting only 28-56mbps on my Motorola router and was constantly having to reboot it, I am now getting 108-109mbps downloads right out of the gate with the Netgear. VERY happy with this purchase, worth every penny. I highly recommend it.

Finally, I got speed, security, ease of configuration, dual bands (Wifi and Guest Wifi), and range. No more monthly fees and with my modem registered to netgear, it will receive updates automatically. I am pushing this device to the max and it handles everything. Parental Control is easy to setup as well, so you can keep kids from wandering off to bad sites by accident or purpose!

My internet provider is Xfinity and my plan is for speeds of up to 400 mbps. I bought this router to replace an outdated model which wasn’t compatible with my service—the old router was only delivering ~160 mbps download speed via Ethernet. The Netgear Nighthawk was a MAJOR upgrade and easy to connect. Instructions & activation was straightforward and took >10 minutes total. Simply used the Xfinity app to activate, entered mac address located on router label, and boom setup+activation was complete, (no hellish phone calls to Comcast tech support needed). Easily customizable WiFi name too. I performed some tests and was actually getting above the 400 mbps included in my Xfinity plan (~480 mbps via Ethernet connection). Has dual band transmitter (2.4ghz + 5ghz) and the range is phenomenal. Sleek design and well made. Very satisfied. 24x8 channels is a great value and provides more than enough speed to stream valorant on twitch while playing on the same pc with upwards of 144 fps consistently.

This is a great product at a reasonable price. Best buy actually beat their competition. Nighthawk software for phone does not work after spending a long time with customer service. Got tired of being on the phone. Netgear receives signal well and wi fi extender is not needed with this model. Has a good range.

I decided to switch from ATT to the local cable company. This is one of the routers on their list.
Setup could not have been easier. I did use the app from Netgear.
The router is fast, easy to attach devices ( password is not too difficult to remember), and has an excellent range.
This is a great router.

We needed something that had pretty good range and also able to handle higher speeds. This has not disappointed. Strong signal everywhere in the house and great coverage. Both bands work great and we have no complaints. Super happy with our purchase
