Customer Ratings & Reviews

So I have been working from home for almost 3 years now, with an older model Netgear that was always losing signal and was on its last leg. I decided that it wasn't going to fix itself so it was time to upgrade. I have security cameras, tablets, computers, televisions and streaming boxes as well as cell phones that all use my signal in my home. So it was important to me to have both 2.4 and 5 available to use since I only had 2.4 on the old one and it seemed to bottleneck. Took about a half hour to install, navigate the settings and get it set to my specifications. Now I have all my low tech gear like my sons tablet, cameras and cell phones on the 2.4 and the computers, tv, gaming systems and streaming boxes on the 5. I have not had any issues buffering, lag or bottlenecking anymore. I did go in and check the channels in my neighborhood so that I knew which ones had the most traffic and avoided those. You can set it to automatically choose a channel, but i found that it always tended to go to the most frequently used ones where traffic was highest and that slowed it down. Now that I have it on less used channels, I have no issues at all. I have a super fast connection with ethernet, and have not had a problem at all since I purchased this model. When I have to upgrade in the future, it will be another Netgear, and if Nighthawk has another dual or even tri-band, it will be mine.

Easy to set up and install, having no issues with speed or connectivity

easy to set up and fast. great range with wi-fi, no longer use my wi-fi extenders around the house

Easy to set-up, reliable, and fast. Took about 10 minutes to get up and running.

My old wireless gateway went out, so I went to the store to find a replacement. We have added so many devices that we needed an upgrade. This is a perfect fit. The range is fantastic and all of our devices are full signal and lightning speed. The service at the store was exceptional. The man that helped me was very good and answered all of my questions. I don't know how good the price was, but I am so pleased with the purchase, that I feel I got a really good deal.

Excellent choice...easy to install! Provides great coverage...single story home ~1650 sq. ft.

Improved my internet service (speed) etc. Product was easy to install & easy to use. I have very little experience and/or knowledge of the operation of modems etc. After research of many modem/router combos I chose the Netgear - Nighthawk praying it would be a good one. I'm very satisfied. If you are a single lady with no one around to help you with this kind of thing buy this one

Easy to install and configure. Gets top speeds. Flexible - works with all operating systems and wireless devices.

I had a really nice arris surfboard before this that I got on a good sale, it got burnt up in a storm. So this was in my price range and had all the specs I was looking for, and overall it work really well. My only complaint. And reason it’s not 5 is the netgear genie app does not have the same functionality. There was more personalization and control with the Arris for devices. Some of it can be gained back through the web interface, but it was nicer to have on the app. Still a good product, good range on the WiFi, fast speeds, fast setup.

Bought this when switching from DSL to Cable internet to avoid Comcast monthly rental fee. While this modem is more than Comcast provides as far as lanes, the WIFI range is awesome. Previous DSL modem had to have a range extender. This modem sits in the basement and covers the entire house and some of our yard.

Good modem router combo. The speeds were great and had no issues setting up. We use cox and this was compatible

This is the best router we've had so far! I would fully recommend getting this if you are looking for an upgrade from your basic router/gateway combo. Easy setup and great range. Helps even out dead spots and made it so that we could get what we paid for with Comcast. No issues so far!

I did quite a lot of research into what router/modem I needed for upgrading my Internet at home, and this product is by far the best for the best price. You can't beat the 2-in-1 combo and the functionality for a good price point.

This was the faster cable modem they had. I have not had any issues with it. Setup was quick. I was able to do an at home setup with a new Comcast account. I was able to avoid the in home service fee and monthly rental. Plus I get a much better modem than what Comcast offers.

The router seems very powerful. I live in a multi-family townhome and I have no issues with other users Wifi affecting this unit. In addition, I am often able to access my own network from the Street. Set-up very easy with a Phone App or using a Web Browser. No drops of service so far - hardest part was trying to convince Comcast that the device was brand new. They were trying to say they couldn't authenticate the MAC address.

Works great and fast speed easy to set up and works with Spectrum.No problems.

It has a great price and it was very easy to set up. No issues. Our earlier NetGEAR worked for about 5 years, they only get obsolete because Comcast decides to change something...

Being work and stay at home I wanted to upgrade internet for the 4 of us. Unit was easy to install and setup, had to have Spectrum out after we upgraded the internet as I wasn't getting the appropriate speeds. Now everything is much stabler and we can all do Zoom for meetings and gaming without much lag.

Had my combo Netgear-Nighthawk dual-band modem & router for nearly a month now and couldn't be happier. Was a breeze to get set-up and going. Former combo unit only had the 2.4 Ghz band, now I have that and the faster 5 Ghz speed. Did a speed test and getting better than what Xfinity said I would and I have no problem with reception anywhere in our nearly 3000 sq ft condo. Great unit, Great price, Great results.

We bought this to replace a cheaper router that just didn’t have enough of a signal. Great router strength!
