Customer Ratings & Reviews

Absolutely love this product! Super easy to set up! You can change the name and password for the WiFi. Also has an app that allows you to control the router/modem right from your phone. Great option at a great price!

I highly recommend getting this router over anything that your ISP (i.e. Comcast) would provide to you. This will save you money by not having to rent the router, so it pays for itself in a way. It's easy to setup and very fast.

We went in to our local Best Buy and was able to get some pretty solid advice from one of the staff members for a new router/modem combo. The one we were replacing was just outdated by a lot, so it was def time to replace it. We were not able to afford the item that the gentleman was recommending, but we did take the step down, which was this product. It does take a bit more effort to set up, versus your normal plug and play, because you have to set up an account, download the app, etc. I really wish some things would go back to just letting you plug in and go. However! Since we have set up this device, our internet has been SOOO much more reliant! We were having issues with spotty reception, not a lot of reach in a small house, etc. This Nighthawk has totally blown it out of the water! Gone are the days of having to move around and find signal, even less than 20 feet away. All of our security cameras get excellent signal strength, compared to the very iffy reception that they had gotten before. We experience almost No drop in streaming, gaming, etc. It really is coming down to apps themselves just having their own hiccups. This thing is a beast!! I am thoroughly impressed, even though the price tag was a bit more than we wanted to pay! I do hope that customer service through NetGear is just as impressive, because the gentleman from Best Buy said he was always impressed with their efforts to make customers happy. I do hate that there is a subscription program, which... in today's world seems both more and more common. But it also doesn't make it any less soul sucking. We are being nickled and dimed to death nowadays, and I do hope that even though I cannot afford the sub service, that Netgear would still assist us, if and when there may be issues. Fingers crossed!

Solid product. Reliable and fast. Easy set up. One of the best brands and midels available.

The easiest way I can describe this is "tech is obsolete the second it leaves the store". Almost like cars, it loses value and gets revised and replaced so quickly it that often times it's best to get more than you need if you can get a good deal. Best Buy was great about matching a lower advertised price at the time of purchase, which closed the deal for me and saved me a drive across town. At home we run a 300mbps connection through TWC. We run 2 cellphones, 2 laptops, 1 wifi printer, 1 tablet, 1 smart TV, and 1 Roku device all over this modem/router. Operation has been flawless. Connection is fast as would be expected. Set was easy! My advice, you'll end up paying an average of $10 a month for a rented modem/router from the cable company ($120 for the year), that won't perform nearly as good and at the end of the service you'll have to return to the cable company. Plus getting them to upgrade their device is like pulling teeth. Pay a little more, and own it, and go overkill so you're satisfied and the device don't get outdated quickly. Great buy.

I bought this after a little research and am very pleased with it's performance, it may be a little over kill for my 2/2 apartment but I have zero problems with range. it will support to 960mbps so it's pretty future proof as the internet standard becomes faster and faster.

I needed to replace my old Netgear cable modem/ router because it stopped working after 5 years (got good use out of it). I decided to get the newer version of my old model and it did not disappoint. We currently run all of our televisions (4), our computers / laptops tablets (4), our Alexa devices (5), and our phones (5) off the new Netgear modem router with zero issues! I would recommend this Netgear modem router if you are in the market for one, you won't be disappointed.

wow, very good router, good range, and fast! easy to setup, and lots of customization. Also works fine if you decide to plug in a mesh network into it.

I was tired of paying to rent a modem. I was looking for a modem/ router combo. I read many reviews both on BestBuy website and others. The reviews on the modem were great. I purchased this modem and went home to install it and was very impressed how easy it was to install. I set up multiple wifi's for my home. One for guest. One for my family and one that was just dedicated for my Amazon Fire sticks. I had. I issues to switch out the routers and modems. It was easier to set up the modem and router than it was to reconnect my wireless thermostat. The stability is amazing. I have been running it none stop for several weeks and haven't had to reset it one time. I was having to reset the Comcast modem multiple times a day. The speed both for wired and wireless connect is also greater. I can run multiple wireless connections and can't not tell a drop in the speeds. Absolutely please with this purchase!

We used to have the Comcast rental for our internet and as usual it's garbage! We purchased this netgear modem and it's been so reliable ever since! We live in a 2 story home and we have no dead zones and our internet goes at the proper speed. Definitely recommend.

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.

Being compatible with Xfinity was my biggest concern & this modem did not let me down. Fast speed & great connection....would definitely recommend.

I purchased this Modem/Router combo to replace original modem from Optimum which started to drop signal almost every hour. Plus Optimum keeps on raising rental fee. Setup took just a few minutes: follow instructions in the package. Than a quick call to Optimum customer support: they asked if new modem DOCSIS 3.0 compatible and MAC ID to register it in the system. Couple of minutes later after system refreshed - I am online with faster connection, steady signal that hasn't dropped once and $10 plus Tax a month savings on modem rental from Optimum!

Our previous NETGEAR modem/router didn't have as many down and up channels which caused lots of buffering and frequent drops as Wi-Fi devices have been added. This new modem/router is the difference between a 2-lane road and a super highway! We now have minimal buffering and no drops. Connection and setup was fairly easy with the Nighthawk app. and NETGEAR customer service. We did have to call our internet service provider (ISP), Cox, to finish the connection, which they goofed up by changing the device name. Fortunately, with NETGEAR customer service walking us through a device reset, and a 2nd call to our ISP everything now works perfectly. We're glad that we made the investment in this modem/router to bring us "up to speed".

Turned in my Comcast supplied combination router and saved $11 a month. This dual band modem router surpassed my expectations. I figured it would be better than the Comcast equipment, but its way better than their equipment. I'm paying for 55 and am getting 75+. I can see a noticeable difference in the way my computer loads and moves. Very easy to set up. I'm not a pro by any means but had no trouble getting my system up and running in less than an hour...I wasn't rushing. Since set up about a month ago there has been no problems. The net has not stopped working, as far as I can see....others stated theirs lost contact with the net but I have not experienced that problem. Its relatively small and fits just fine into my existing equipment. So far, a great purchase, plus it will almost pay for itself in the first year.

Did my research on purchasing this modem for my new optimum internet service. it was easy to setup and covers my two family home without any lag or issues. highly recommend for anyone looking for a fast and reliable 2 in 1.

Very simple set up. Has worked great. I have a three level house with this modem/router on the second floor. It has enought bandwidth to power my sons xbox on the first floor wirelessly. So plenty of range and power. Which is why i bought. Definitely as advertised.

Great router for someone who streams music and video from multiple devices. Great range and speed, I had to set mine up in my basement and it still performs great. My house is 2 levels and about 2400 Sq ft and I have no issues in an area. Highly recommended.

Purchased to replace the piece of junk that Sparklight had provided. Easy setup and works fantastic. Has a much stronger WiFi signal and the 5Ghz covers the entire house now. Totally worth the money.

Quality product, takes around an hour to setup if you don't encounter any issues.
