    My son hooked this up for me and seemed to be a little tricky. After approx 2 months, realized this was not compatible with my internet service provider. Had to return.

    I came to the store swap a device which did not work with my network. The first person I met to who took device was very respectful. After what I wanted, I to the front desk for check out. I was trying to explain this staff that I was swapping the device, he wouldn’t listen to me and he was so rude. He charged my card again instead of swapping with the first device. He even didn’t ask me if I wanted a warranty on the device. He don’t deserve to work with customers.

    Was not quite that impressed about the performance of this router, not sure if it was my Comcast subscription causing my iPad to slow a bit or my iPad itself. Overall I think this is not worth the high price than the others.

    Man, this was recommended by my ISP. Then Netgear stopped supporting it. Then my ISP slowed my speeds by half because I'm not using their router. Sucks.

    it works ok. i don't have a big house, but where the modem/router is located is on the other side of the house. it doesn't reach very far and drops the connection on and off. The closer i am to it, of course, the better it works.

    Will throttle internet from Spectrum. I can pull 1gbps from my cable with a different device. When I connect the Nighthawk I get 50 - 60 mbps. Super disappointed. Wasted about 2 hours on the phone with Netgear. This is only 90 days old and they told me I need to use the warranty to get a new one. Luckily I have a protection plan on it from Best buy and I'll use that and get away from Netgear.

    Does not work well, wifi kicks off periodically. Bestbuy would not let me return past return date but it's not a reasonable amount of time to test the device.

    I won't recommend this product, As this project has label certified with Xfinity service and can support upto 800 Mbps, but I have 800 Mbps super fast internet connection from Xfinity. Speed is extremely dropping when it on WiFi mode. (170 out of 800 Mbps) and had technician visit, and they denied the infom mentioned on product label.

    The best equipment for WIFI. Our WIFI signal is the strongest it's ever been. The equipment that we leased from the cable company was terrible,. we would lose our signal constantly and had to sign in many times a day.

    Tech Support is GARBAGE

    Im experiencing a lot of droppage. Ive been trying to trouble shoot this myself because i like to think im not a total idiot but they make it VERY DIFFICULT. Can’t even get into the app because it says I have to update the firmware but the firmware is updated according to the list on Netgear site. I’m pretty disappointed by the performance as well. And the technical support is TERRIBLE. I tried to get assistance and got hung up on twice before giving up. This will be the last time I purchase netgear.

    Everything works great. Single device for modem and WiFi router. Easy to connect via web. Only complaint is lack of QoS and scheduling by device.

    Works well with the Xfinity internet service. Do need to reboot it periodically, but not sure if this is a factor of the internet provider vs the router itself.
