Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you are looking to replace Comcast/Xfinity’s residential gateway with your own and thereby skip the equipment rental add-on to the bill every month, this powerful router is for you. Easy to setup, and then you’re in control of your own network. And best of all, you will no longer be advertising the free Xfinity Wi-Fi public access - Bet you didn’t know you were doing that through XFinity’s gateway, did ya?

This modem is very easy to set. It is user friendly and fast modem/WiFi. Good price

I purchased this item because my kids were complaining about lagging while they were gaming via X-Box One. I wanted to increase the signal capability of my internet connection and it has done just that. No more connection issues or weak signals using the modem provided by my cable provider. Very easy to set and my 14 yr old son was able to do it. Would highly recommend this product to anyone having issues or renting a modem that's not working. My kids haven't complained since I bought it.

This is my second Netgear Router and are very happy with it's performance. Fast, keeps up with my 10 devices.

I was looking for a good wifi cable modem after comcast router has clearly shown its limitations. I did some research before making the purchase. For about two years, it has delivered the expectations - good range, speed and stability. Sometimes internet connection drops for less than a minute but it is not clear whether it is the router or comcast internet. Other than that, it has been just great.

This modem/router combo is super easy to use, and easy to set up. My fiance and I are continuing our enducation (I'm going for my bachelor's in engineering, she's going for her master's for medical counselling.) I purchased this, and have no issues with it. I do also game, and she streams movies when we aren't doing our school work! I totally recommend it if you want a modem and router in one unit!

Easy to set up and get running. Needed a new one because the old one was very slow. Really fast and secure.

Ive had this router for about a year and its been dependable and seems to be a quality item. Considering all the wifi items i have theres never been a problem.

This modem and router combo, Netbear Nighthawk dual band, requires simple set up, works very well.

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.

Seems to be powerful enough for a house full of people and was VERY easy to set up. All of the needed numbers are stuck on the side and the password is hard-to-guess but memorable.

My second purchase of this Brand at Best Buy. Great service ordering in store.

I went through like 4 other modem/router combos. I have having 2 devices for 1 service. Other M/C combos had either a weak range or the wifi speeds were always awful. Went all out and got this bad boy and it was totally worth it range is great and the performance also is good at a distance. Some modems will have great speed while your close to the modem but when you are on the other side of the house the speed will drop. You won't have that issue with the nighthawk

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

This works good only for 2-4 devices. Range and speed is decent. Works good with Xfinity. One defect I observed when you are downloading any movie kind of file, we cannot browse or use other network applications effectively until the download is completed. At this time the network speed gets too slow. I did not see this defect when used router from Xfinity earlier using this one. If you are able to ignore this, other things works as expected.

Works great, super easy to set up with xfinity. Very powerful with strong signal

Works as expected ! Easy to set up ! Fast speed ! Better than cable company one !

5G capability as well as 2.4 m, easy to install and great speed

Easy to connect with my Xfinity Cable Plan. Works well also with my HP Chromebook.

Great speed and signal strength... much better than my leased comcast modem and no more $10 lease a month fee. It pays itself
