Customer Ratings & Reviews

This router is way better than my last one. It is worth it to splurge on an expensive one. Faster and goes farther.

Very happy with this modem/router. The range extends the wifi throughout the house and garage while maintaining quick internet speeds with no lag. Just had the whole family over for thanksgiving with multiple devices connected to the internet and still experienced very fast speeds. The nighthawk had no trouble keeping the internet speeds quick by providing multiple internet lanes for all the internet devices to run smoothly. Very proud to show this device off and purchase future devices from Best Buy!

Spectacular security built in, great app with 1 year of extra security services too. If you do anything to secure your internet….get a netgear modem and router (or all in one). ISP routers are hackers best friends - so take the step!!

Works really well, no lack of speed, easy to install.

Was switching over from Uverse to Comcast so I wanted to buy my own modem/router rather than pay monthly rental charges to Comcast. This one looked like what I needed, even saying it supported Comcast. Brought it home and hooked it up, but couldn't get it to work. All the lights would light up momentarily but then go back to blinking. This cycle continued. Spent over an hour on chat with Comcast trying to get it activated. Finally they said they would have to send out one of their techs, but it would cost me $70 if the problem wasn't due to them. When the tech came out a couple of days later the first thing he did was hook up their Comcast router/modem and all the lights came on and stayed on. He said I had a bad router/modem, but said he wasn't going to charge me since he had only been there 5 minutes and the Comcast person on the chat should have been able to tell me that. So I took the router/modem back to Best Buy and got a replacement. Hooked it up and all the lights came on! Called in to activate the new router/modem and they couldn't get it to activate. Finally they realized that the problem was that they had the router/modem serial number and MAP address from the first router/modem. They changed it to the new router numbers and it seemed to work , but then I still wasn't able to get an internet connection. The SID showed up, but wouldn't take my password off the router. Comcast again said they would send out a tech at no charge, but I decided to wait and try some more things myself. Finally I hooked up my laptop to the router/modem directly through the ethernet connections. I was able to enter the password and everything connected! Everything has worked fine over the last week, but what a hassle!

Love it works amazing in my new apartment. Works great through plaster walls.

Works as it should. Easy set up and works better than my previous router

Great router, provides a good signal all around the house and very user friendly.

Was easy to setup once I had the right person on the phone from Comcast. Took us under 30 minutes whereas the first person I spoke with had me having a service call.

Easy setup, fast and reliable internet. Works well with Xfinity.

So far so good, everything I hoped for. Works throughout the house, strong signal.

I replaced my Time Warner Modem with this one, and it works great. The signal and reliability are very strong.

I have Xfinity and had a Motorola gateway. We had a hard time streaming movies from DirectTV without another device running, with a device it would just stop. This unit was extremely easy to setup (no longer than 15 minutes on the Xfinity website) and simple plug in. Now, we can stream and use tablets, laptops, phones, etc. This is an excellent piece of hardware. We have a large (4,000 sq. ft.) two story home and the upstairs reception is excellent. i also receive good reception in the basement. Highly recommend.

Great product. Looks good and does its job. Installation was a breeze.

I have all of my electronics hooked up to this thing, and it has not let us down. Blazing speeds. No dropped connections.

This router worked out great from my office and I would recommend this to anyone

i was a little skeptical about the whole "significantly noticeable" difference between my Cisco (8x4) and this Netgear before the purchase...and I couldn't believe after I installed it. All my WiFi linked household tech items are working faster when loading and/or uploading. Wow! even my WiFi operated ADT security cameras have a better clear video resolution and seamless loading upon remotely (any distance) viewing on my phone. I am happy with this investment! PS. very easy set up!

My old Combo-Modem died after 14 Years of great service. I was a "Panic Buyer", But the Best Buy Crew helped me select this NETGEAR Nighthawk to get Me back "connected". I was very happy with the EASE it was to make all the connections. The hardest part was getting My "ISP" to register and provide service to the New NETGEAR. The Actual SETUP program could have been explained better, but after three tries, I got everything sorted out and it's been smooth operation ever since.

This really made my internet faster and made it more reliable have multiple products to be on the internet.

Bought this for less than I would pay for the Xfinity modem. It works alot better than the Xfinity modem also.
