It was time to get a new modem router because my old one was constantly needing to be unplugged and plugged in every other day. Best buy associate helped and told me I couldn't go wrong with this netgear and he sure was right. My WiFi range is now extended with faster speed and don't even need a wifi extender for my two story home which includes over 15 smart devices and the speed does not slow down.

Easiest install ever performed! Unpacked, located in desired area, assured Ethernet cables were adequately long/routed. Called ISP with MAC number that was activated immediately. And the cables transferred, power applied and started connected with new network name and pswd. Total of fifteenish minutes.
Speed and service to grandkids iPad(s), iPhones, my PCs, laptops and printers are working beautifully.

We've used this Netgear router for over a year and a half and it has been completely reliable. No issues. The Wi-Fi coverage is good for our house footprint. We eliminated our cable contract and now stream everything. Good speed with no lags even with several people streaming at once. Good value.

This router gives me more range in my home (2 floors) than the ones from the cable company. I've had it for a couple of years now and had zero issues with it at all. Setting it up was easy and it's been care-free since then. If you're renting your modem from the cable guys, stop. Just buy this and save the monthly fee. It'll pay for itself many times over...

This modem router combo is one of the best in my opinion. You get the nighthawk app and able to control parental controls, WiFi names and password right at your finger tips. Saves you the rental fees and best of all... it is netgear!! Price is not too bad. Docsis 3.0 so you also have up to date equipment with your companies.

I replaced and upgraded a Zoom combo cable modem/wireless router and this was set up/installed in no time over a 15 minute call with Comcast. The improvement was noticed immediately and so well, that we also decided to upgrade our internet package with Comcast. All Xbox players, internet surfers and gadget geeks are happy campers now. No game lagging or slow internet speeds to deal with.

We were having issues with internet speed at home and saw where it could be related to the router we had. Since purchasing this new modem/router combo, we have had no issues with internet speed.

I was using an extender for my 1300 sq ft 2 story home because i couldnt get a signal upstairs in 2 bedrooms that is far away from the router that is located downstairs next to my living room tv. Bought this baby and voila i get signal everywhere in my house and the speed is exactly what i pay for on my plan and this works great with xfinity.

Wow, what a difference this modem/router made in our streaming! We had a lot of buffering before, but not now! We also had poor signal and were going to get a signal booster, but don't need one now with this new set up. Can't believe how much faster everything runs! Very happy with this purchase!!

Was torn between Docsis 3.1 and 3.0, but for my usage (100mbps plan) 3.0 was more than enough and if future proof for atleast 4-5 years.
Wifi speeds cross my plan (getting 120mbps).
Setup was easy, hardly took 15 minutes.
So far so good from 4 days of usage.
Should have provided a button for on/off and LED on/off.

After weeks of research and looking at various routers, I selected this Netgear and couldn't be happier. I've got a house that's over 2500 sq ft plus needs for internet outside the house and this covers it. Easy to set up and worked fine with my Xfinity/Comcast service

I had not had a new modem or router for many years and when I started to have connection problems it was determined that my old equipment was out of date. I looked into a number of units and went with the NETGEAR equipment due to other reviews and the ease of setup. With no additional extenders I have great coverage thru out my entire home, single level unit. This unit is easy to use for anyone even without the 60 years I have had in electronics.

In the time that I have had this product I haven't had any problems. I have it connected to 3 smart tvs with firesticks attached, a smart doorbell, multiple computers and phones. It was very easy to set up. And a great investment if your cable company charges you a monthly rental fee for there modem. Plus you won't need a separate router box with this purchase because it is built in. The only reason I haven't given it 5*s is because I haven't had it long enough in my opinion to see ifor there are any major problems.

We had been leasing from the cable company and had gotten very frustrated with our service we had run the router download speed and found it was poor. Cable provider said that it was on our end. Purchased the Netgear - Nighthawk AC 1900 and get 90% to 100% of the speed purchased instead of 10% to 25%. It provides great wifi for the whole house even though it is in a closet upstairs. Love it.

I bought the Nighthawk to replace my ISP's modem/router combo unit. Before upgrading to the nighthawk, the ISP unit was routinely loosing it's connection to the network. I went through 2 of their modems before buying the nighthawk. Since then my connection and speed have been consistent. Set up was very easy and the netgear genie phone app is very useful for managing my network.
