    This is a great router! TWC had been claiming for years, that my speeds were slow; because, I needed to lease one of their routers. My speecds continued to be slow, after leasing their routers. A friend recommended I purchase this Netgear router and promised me faster speeds. My speeds tripled overnight (3X) and I LOVE this router.

    Works well but difficult to set up

    I bought the Netgear Nighthawk because my last router modem was Netgear and it was pretty easy to set up and worked well for nearly 3 years. My new router does work well (so far) but it was not easy to set up. In fact, I had to get Cox Level 2 support to help me with the set up and even they (and they are technically savvy) were getting frustrated. I'm not sure why Netgear has made its newer equipment more difficult to set up.

    I will save a lot of cash by not renting from comcast. This was very easy to install. However, I spent hours with comcast and then with Geek Squad. Only to find out that I had installed it properly and Comcast had screwed up. Thank goodness for the Geek Squad.

    This seems to be a great product! My online time is so much faster I can hardly believe it. SO glad I paid extra to get this item.....and, I took the cable company's router back and saved myself each month. I'll have it paid for within a year.

    I have had to use this with two different internet providers and it works very well. Having this saved me money on their bills by not having to rent one from the provide. No security or other problems and runs very efficiently with fast speed.

    I was having issues with the spectrum provided modem. I changed to netgear nighthawk and have noticed that my internet speed is better and my wifi dead spots are no longer existent as this router pushes signal enough to get Strong signal especially if you live in a two story house.

    Great and Easy Modem Router

    This modem router was absolutely easy to set up and install. All it takes is; open the box, take the modem router out of the plastic, plug it in, connect it to your services and boom! You are done. I spoke with Xfinity (my service provider) as I set it up and it was easy to get my internet back up and running.

    This was the second Netgear Nghthawk cable modem router I have purchased in the last year. I liked the first one so much, got another one for another home I own. The setup was easy and once it's setup, it continues to provide flawlessly 24/7.

    This may be one of the best routers I have ever owned. Not once have I had any issues or difficulties with it in terms of initial set up or daily usage. One route is sufficient to cover anywhere in my house as it is place in a central location. Plenty of bandwidth. Great purchase I would recommend.

    Derek greeted us at (Best Buy Westminster CO) as soon as we walked in. The customer service experience was above and beyond from there. He guided us through all the pros and cons of routers/modems. Derek asks all the right questions on what/where and how the device was going to be used. He gave personal recommendations from what he uses at home to help gauge what we needed. He guided us through how to set up the modem and how we could add a mesh system in the future. Brought the router over to Xfinity store to link our account to the modem. Then we brought the router/modem home and set it up within an hour and able to personalize our settings. Downloaded the Nighthawk buddy app on our phones and connected all our devices with no stress. Why pay to lease when you can connect with ease. BEST BUY HAS UPPED THE GAME WITH EXPERTS THAT CARE!!!!

    Best comcast/xfinity compatible modem and router

    This the best comcast/xfinity compatible modem I have seen so far. I had purchased other types before this but the signals and strength very poor. Since I changed to Nighthawk AC1900 the signals became very strong. I am happy with it.
