This product took ten minutes to setup right out of the box. Sure simple setup and great speed and signal range.

Works good and very easy setup. Speed of router will be based on your internet speed, and size of house, but overall, it's a great router/modem combo. I live in a 3400 sq ft house and have no issues with dead space.

I had a motorla surfboard before upgrading when I found out that the current modem i had was only good for 10MBps when i was paying for 20. Thankfully twc provided information of what routers are compatible and then the research started. I found this and one other to be the one that i would need. So took my chances with the netgear and its been blazing fast. Since then i have upgraded to the 50MBps and it handles everything i throw at it which include 2 desktops, a laptop, 3 phones, and two tablets with no issues not even much load time with hd videos off of youtube.

I researched every option available trying to find the best modem/router because I didn’t want 2 pieces of equipment. This has got to be the best I’ve ever bought! It sends out an extremely strong signal and I can even get WiFi at the pool! I have multiple devices connected at all times and stream movies and shows on my Apple TV at the same time! I have to say it is the best!! Way better than anything that you can get. I have Spectrum internet and I am very happy with this purchase!!

Very easy to set up. Made the phone call to Spectrum to also do their thing with it then it was done. The only thing I need to do is install an update with Netgear's help. Frustration is, Netgear says the ISP provider installs the update but Spectrum says the opposite. I believe it will be a fairly easy fix once I do it. Modem/router is worker very well and faster than what I previously had with Spectrums.

This modem router was the easiest to setup and works great. I have had it for a week now and it has worked flawlessly. I have always liked Netgear products and this has just added to my raving of the company.

Overall this is a great router/modem combo. I upgraded to the Nighthawk after using a generic Cox and the difference in performance was night and day.
Setting up the device was fairly easy, although the app wasn't the best. Also, if you have Cox as your ISP, expect to be on the phone for a while as they have to configure your device on their end.
The only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars was due to it completely resetting all of the router configurations after I did a power cycle after losing the internet. I'm not sure why that happened, but it was definitely an inconvenience.

Man this thing has been a beast thus far. I upgraded to this as I had a 8x4 that was incompatible with my current provider for speeds. I have 3 smart TVs and kids always watching streaming services do this keeps everyone on with no lag. I also bought it for work at home purposes and it's been phenomenal. Netgear products over any other brand IMO. Plus Best Buy had it on sale. Easy to setup and activate. Def worth the money even for a stickler like myself.

I bought this router for the purpose of trying to cut corners with the cable company. This thing not only works better than the usual mediocre equipment that you get with any company anytime you elect to use their equipment. The thing works like a charm. Not only that but it has the ability to keep up with the advances in technology. Let's be honest, you are not getting download speeds of 1900 mps. It'll be a while before technology like that is offered to the public. So for home usage this is perfect. Not only that but if you combine this with a streaming device such as the amazon fire stick or apple tv etc. then the money you'll save from that will pay for itself in a couple months. Totally worth it I'd say.

I purchased this... being a person who has no idea in regards to this technology. Well, it was an easy setup. Connects great especially because I work remotely from home. I especially love the parental control, where I can turn off my kiddos internet connectivity during the night to make sure they go to sleep and they're not browsing throughout the night. Especially during quarantine and you're a parent who works from home. Works great! Love it.

I forget the name of the guy who helped me at Best Buy, but I was tied between this Router and another. He made me aware of the differences and how I’d be more future proofed with this particular model, which fit perfectly into my budget. I absolutely love how simple it was to set up. Netgear’s Genie mobile app made it a breeze. I don’t think it took me longer than 10-15 minutes to be up and running on my new XFINITY account at my new apartment following the provided instructions. This was my first time buying my own Modem/WiFi Router for my home internet service so I was unsure of what kind of hoops I’d potentially have to jump through to get a 3rd party Router up and running. Fortunately all went smoother than I imagined. Got tired of paying monthly for some rental bs. Now I have more control over my service at home and the dual band is great so that some of my devices than need the higher bandwidth can connect to the 5Ghz connection and those that don’t, to the 2.4Ghz. Excellent ping when gaming and 4K streams smoothly with no stuttering or buffering on all my paid services. As a note I have the 100Mbs service. Hope this review helps someone out there! Definitely recommend looking at this model if you don’t plan to spend more than $200 or so.

I recently moved into a 1200 sq ft apartment with my family while I’m having a home built and I needed some internet for work and my kids school. I got xfinity 100 mbps speed and to avoid the monthly equipment charge I purchased this netgear router. This was super easy to setup myself and I have 100mbps speed in every room of my apartment. I can’t complain and I’m super happy with this purchase. Thanks Netgear!

Easy to set up manually. Great combination of cable modem and router. Also, able to set up on app with easy to follow, step by step instructions. Cable company was able to help configure and activate modem remotely very quickly. Great coverage in the house as a standalone where previously we had to use signal boosters.
