    This product was easy to setup and improved my download and upload speeds significantly, compared with the Ubee modem/router provided by TWC. Before I purchased this model, I had tried a similar model with 3 antennae that were adjustable. However, I noticed WiFi weak spots as I moved further from the router (2 story home). I was told the antennae were directional but would provide stronger signal where needed. Not True! I returned that model to Best Buy and bought this one. It has much better coverage with a strong WiFi signal in every part of the house.

    Excellent Router. Set up very smooth with Comcast. You can activate the device yourself using comcast app or web which is so nice not having to wait for support. Love the combo modem router as it eliminates a box and a power supply and the cabling from modem to router. Also since these devices are made by the same company compatibility config issues are eliminated. Now I can easily move this device which is fairly compact easily from one area of my home to another if I need to. One hint I would like to give the small pct of people who are getting dropped connections is to install a wall timer that reboots the router in the middle of the night.I had a R7000 nighthawk that seemed fo get messed up especially when connecting multiple times to netflix and or amazon prime. The timer turns off at 2am and back on at 201 am. That solved all my dropped connection issues. I will see if I get similar issues with this router and if so I will plug it into the timer. So far (only 2 days) but working perfectly. Wifi signal strength is very good and even a little stronger than the R7000 which is amazing as it has no external antennas. One more tip for those who do not see the 5g wifi signal. Change the “channel” for the 5g band from 156 to 48 or test other channels until the 5g signal shows up.

    Great router/modem combo for the price. My original Netgear of 7 years had finally died, this one with a decent upgrade in spec had a very similar UX so I could load in all my custom rules (I use pi-hole for DNS and a few other things). So far its been great.

    Bought this to replace the modem I was renting with my cable company and it’s a lifesaver. Setup was quick and easy and I haven’t had any issues with wifi speed since switching to this modem. My old modem had lag issues but I have not experienced that with the Netgear modem.

    Got this to replace an older Nighthawk that died after 5 years. Easy to use. The router/WiFI combo is always nice to have. Was up and running in under 10 minutes (had to call Spectrum so they could add the MAC address to their systems). Once that was done I was pulling down about 200Mbps/25Mbps. I have about 10 devices hooked up to this and they all run fine. It easily covers about 1500 square feet.

    Ah, the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Router with DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - it's like a race car that was the envy of every driver... a few years ago. Back then, it zoomed through the internet superhighway, leaving lag and buffering in the dust. With its sleek design and powerful signal, it was the cool kid on the block. But alas, time spares no tech. The world moved to DOCSIS 3.1, and our Nighthawk, still rocking 3.0, is like trying to join a high-speed chase with a horse and buggy. It's the gadget equivalent of still owning a VCR in the Netflix era. Sure, it's great for nostalgia, but when it comes to keeping up with today's internet speeds offered by many companies, it's like bringing a knife to a laser gun fight. In short, while the Nighthawk AC1900 was once a beacon of connectivity and speed, it now waves goodbye to the newer, faster internet speeds zipping by. A reminder that in the tech world, you either update or become a charming relic of the past.

    I bought a new Ipad and found out my modem and router were too old to support it. I decided to purchase a modem/router combination rather than two separate devices. The Netgear Nighthawk was very easy to install and solved my connection problems immediately. I would recommend this device to anyone who needs to upgrade their eqipment.

    Great modem router combo for an average size house. My place is 1300 sq ft and it reaches all areas of my house no problem. I have Arlo cameras and they have no trouble connecting outside from 40 to 50 ft away. I don't have a ton of devices, 7 total. A few cameras, 4K Smart TV, tablet, phone, networked home audio receiver. No issues at all with this many devices working at the same time. It seems like it would be good for 1500 to 2000 ft house with 10ish devices. I think over that you would need to get something with more range. I've had it for almost a year and work from home 5 days a week. It's been very reliable and it's only been restarted a couple times for any Wi-Fi issues. Comcast cable, not so much.. lol

    Setup was easy. It took longer to call internet provider to activate it than actual setup of the router. Works great and can see the difference in speed and connection with this router compared to my old one.

    This combo does everything and more for my internet needs, security, speed, connectivity, and coverage. Though a little pricey but well worth it. If my IP would release my offered speed it would, I'm sure it would hit the mark with no problem.

    Really easy installation. I replaced a Verizon FIOS router with this product and it has certainly increased my speed. I have 3 other routers connected through the ethernet ports of this unit. Works perfectly in all corners of my house. I have both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands working for 2 wifi networks

    I purchased the Nighthawk Router to replace Router being rented to me by ISP. Now getting full 200 Mbps download speeds as service is rated for. 2G band reaches everywhere in 2700 sq. ft. home. No more extenders, no additional wire routers needed. Accepts many devices with simultaneous access without issues. Wired and wireless devices getting pretty much same results in speed tests. I am very happy.

    My old NetGear C6300 Modem/Router failed (after about 8 years). That particular model was no longer available, and I replaced it with the Nighthawk AC1900. It was pretty much plug and play and my home Wi-Fi network was back up and running as good if not better than before.

    Comcast compatible. All in one WiFi modem and router. Will handle the speed plus if I upgrade my internet it will handle in the future. Easy setup. Must call XFINITY to finish the setup. Will certainly pay for itself in just a year vs renting .

    This router is working well. It seems to be stronger than the old one which I had to rent from Comcast for $10.00 a month. I bought this one to get rid of that charge and to strengthen the WIFI throughout my house. It was pricey and will take 18 months to pay for itself. I am expecting it to last several years. The setup was easy once we got over the hump of getting it registered with Comcast. Afterwards, it was a breeze to get all the devices logged back in to the WIFI.

    It's very easy to use, I like how it's a modem and wireless router all in one (one less box on my floor and 2 fewer cords). The range is good, I have a 1500 sq ft townhome and it has great wireless coverage. It's also been quite reliable and haven't had to really power cycle it to get it to keep working as the connection has been consistent.

    The router/modem was very easy to setup. It only took about 10 minutes working with Spectrum to get it online. They are very familiar with this model. It is working well. My Windows11 laptop connects immediately (it didn't with the old one).

    The range on this one is excellent! My home is ~2500 sq ft and I don't need an extender. I placed the modem on my main floor and my wireless TV and other devices in the basement still get a great signal. Mind you, the bandwidth of course varies at different locations in the house, especially the farther I get from the modem, but performance is excellent. I'm very pleased.
