Customer Ratings & Reviews

After I ordered cable service from Comcast and learned the annual cost to lease the router they would provide, I knew there had to be a less expensive option. I called Comcast to obtain a list of compatible routers, selected one, purchased and set it up. I’ve never regretted my decision. This router works better than those provided by Comcast. It’s faster (Yes I checked using an app on my cell phone.) This one is more dependable and setup was a breeze. The router will pay for itself in the first year! Buy your own router and avoid the leasing game that cable companies would rather you engage in.

This is super fast. Connects to the internet easily. Not many steps and your up and running! Internet is blazing fast wish I bought along time ago

Love it. Easy to set up. Works great. Would recommend

Home networking still appears to be in its infancy. The market is full of options but nothing truly stands out as the best. That being said, the time I've used this modem/router option has been good. Like every router I've used, there is the need for occasional reset/power cycle. Speeds are great (according to speed test apps) but even when I'll see 200 Mbps of speed, loading a webpage or starting a video will sometimes take longer than expected. I play online games & with this router the latency seems to be better than others. Overall this is the best option I've tried. It's not perfect (hence the 4 stars) but I believe most, if not all, will be happy with this purchase. Only note, if you're not looking for the highest speeds and/or you are not subscribed to one of your IPS higher tier plans, there are much cheaper options.

Only issue I had was that I had to call Cox and go through a few steps to get this fully activated. Not difficult, more annoying as I assumed it would be a simple "plug and play" type thing. Otherwise, speed is good, connection is solid.

Improved my internet speed tremendously!! Well worth the money now I can run multiple devices on my home WiFi with no problems.

This works fast and reliably. I can watch netflix and surf the internet without stopping to buffer. So glad to get rid of my comcast equipment and not pay their rental fee.

This router is perfect for my new home. It has good range and is more than adequate for my needs. Between the both of us we have 8-10 devices and haven't had any problems.

Purchased this after moving to a new home..one with plenty of "smart home" features at that. This has kept up flawlessly and helped keep our speeds where they should be. Confidently can say if we had a modem/router from the cable-internet company we would have slower speeds. For reference there are only two of us in the house but half a dozen handheld devices (phones and iPads) plus two work computers and a personal computer. Obviously we don't use all at once but when visitors are at our house we can provide them with consistent WiFi access.

Set Up was super easy. I have suddenlink and it picked it up and I was online within a few minutes. Prefect range for my size of house.

Pretty good modem, ive had it for almost 3 years. Running almost flawlessly and easy to set up with no problems.

I needed a stronger signal at higher speeds than the standard Comcast modem could provide. I bought this modem and it was plug and play with very minor technological effort.

Seems good so far. Had it a month and it works perfectly. No issues noted.

I had to replace an older modem router when I moved. I'm glad I did. The speeds and connection are great. We use it for Netflix and gaming.

Great modem/router. Very easy to install and register with my cable provider. Excellent speed from all over the house. Highly recommend.

This router is fast and sends out a strong signal. It is located in my basement and works throughout the house and outside.

So far, it’s been a huge improvement over my old set up. Does not drop my devices and is very fast!!! Good buy.

So far, I'm very happy with this modem/router combined unit. Not sure why it took so long to come up with a one-piece solution but at last it's here. I've been a loyal Netgear customer and this unit does not disappoint. It's got better home coverage than the previous unit, which was separate from the modem. I actually moved it to a less conspicuous and less central location in the house, yet the coverage is better. I recommend it; I would buy it again.

Works great, I’m a happy with my purchase. No major complaints. Easy to setup, it’s got good range. I paid a lot for it.

When my old router started to die, I decided to step up to a faster combination router/modem. The one I originally selected couldn't be delivered within a reasonable timeline, so I set off to Best Buy. After considering several options, I narrowed things down to the Netgear Nighthawk. Beyond the sleek looks, I already have other Netgear products and understand the quality. This was out of the box, up and running in about an hour. Probably would have been faster for an experienced installer. For a DIY guy that does this every 2-3 years, an hour is acceptable. Hasn't given me any problems at all.
