    My internet provider is Xfinity and my plan is for speeds of up to 400 mbps. I bought this router to replace an outdated model which wasn’t compatible with my service—the old router was only delivering ~160 mbps download speed via Ethernet. The Netgear Nighthawk was a MAJOR upgrade and easy to connect. Instructions & activation was straightforward and took >10 minutes total. Simply used the Xfinity app to activate, entered mac address located on router label, and boom setup+activation was complete, (no hellish phone calls to Comcast tech support needed). Easily customizable WiFi name too. I performed some tests and was actually getting above the 400 mbps included in my Xfinity plan (~480 mbps via Ethernet connection). Has dual band transmitter (2.4ghz + 5ghz) and the range is phenomenal. Sleek design and well made. Very satisfied. 24x8 channels is a great value and provides more than enough speed to stream valorant on twitch while playing on the same pc with upwards of 144 fps consistently.

    I've been looking to upgrade my router for quite some time. I had my previous Netgear router for 6 years. While it still worked, I had planned to upgrade my internet speed and wanted something that could take advantage of it. I also wanted to cut down on the number of electronic devices I have sitting around. So, this modem/router combo was perfect, and I had been eyeing for quite a while. Pros: Fast, easy to set up, and 2 products in one. Cons: Not really a con, but I've had a couple of drop outs since I installed this thing, hopefully it won't continue in the future. Also, can not upgrade the firmware at will, at least not to my research. You have to wait for the internet company to release any firmware updates which is a bummer. Oh, and any mobile devices wirelessly connected to this thing occasionally have dropouts as well, something I never experienced on my previous router. Overall though, I'm happy I made this purchase and can't wait to take advantage of it's speed potential once I upgrade my internet package.

    Easy setup, the hardest part was working with my ISP, but that is not a reflection of the product. After I got it going I ran a few speed tests, the speeds were faster than I was previously getting. My favorite part was the reach, I had several dead spots in my apartment with the old router I had. Those are all gone with this one! I get a good connection everywhere

    Excellent Modem/Router for the money

    I had to recently replace my Motorola modem/router (which only lasted 2.5 years before going bad). Like many, I am now working from home and needed stable and fast internet access. Having only used my wi-fi for streaming and the occasional download, I hadn't realized how bad my connection was until I was forced to work from home. After several troubleshooting calls with my internet provider I was told that the problem was with my gateway modem. Rather than calling Motorola to troubleshoot, I decided to just purchase a newer, better modem/router combo. I spent two days researching the best unit for my needs that would work in the Xfinity network. The Netgear C7000-100NAS received consistently great reviews across the board. I just spent spent 5 minutes installing it and I couldn't be happier. The quick start guide was all I needed to connect and activate on my Xfinity network, I was very happy that I didn't have to bother with calling their tech support to activate. I'm on a 100mbps plan and where I was getting only 28-56mbps on my Motorola router and was constantly having to reboot it, I am now getting 108-109mbps downloads right out of the gate with the Netgear. VERY happy with this purchase, worth every penny. I highly recommend it.

    We needed something that had pretty good range and also able to handle higher speeds. This has not disappointed. Strong signal everywhere in the house and great coverage. Both bands work great and we have no complaints. Super happy with our purchase

    Finally, I got speed, security, ease of configuration, dual bands (Wifi and Guest Wifi), and range. No more monthly fees and with my modem registered to netgear, it will receive updates automatically. I am pushing this device to the max and it handles everything. Parental Control is easy to setup as well, so you can keep kids from wandering off to bad sites by accident or purpose!

    This is a great product at a reasonable price. Best buy actually beat their competition. Nighthawk software for phone does not work after spending a long time with customer service. Got tired of being on the phone. Netgear receives signal well and wi fi extender is not needed with this model. Has a good range.

    I decided to switch from ATT to the local cable company. This is one of the routers on their list. Setup could not have been easier. I did use the app from Netgear. The router is fast, easy to attach devices ( password is not too difficult to remember), and has an excellent range. This is a great router.

    I bought this after Xfinity upped the internet speed to my house and my old modem/router would not cut it anymore. Set up was easy and the speed now is great with really good coverage throughout the house. Note - Xfinity pushes updates down after set up and performance for the first day was iffy at best. But after the first day, it has been blazing.

    This router has rocketed me into a new world! The signal is so strong and incredibly fast. Updating my Xbox used to take endless hours, never fully updating. With this beauty Xbox updates were completed literally in minutes. Now Xbox, PS4 and all devices can finally be used at the same time with no problems! Thank you BB for selling me this top notch router!

    Bought this to replace the one provided by the cable company that was unreliable for a reasonable distance. It has performed very well goes through about 3 solid old walls to get to my office and i no longer get the random lag gaming i used to. Havent had any drops or issues really at all in over 2 months of use. Very happy and it will pay for itself not renting one from the cable company.

    This baby has been great for us, lots of speed and power to get to the far reaches of our home. I've owned several Netgear products over the years and very few have ever failed. Am very used to their administration system now so I'm probably biased about ease of use, but I find them to be very reliable.

    I bought this router I little over a year ago and it’s a great buy. Saved me money on my internet service with Comcast and I haven’t had a problem yet with the performance of the router. I use it mostly for a smartTv, gaming, Wi-Fi for a tablet and 2 cell phones. It’s fast and easy to hookup. Love this product.

    The NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi Cable Modem Router is one of the most sensible purchases you can make if you currently rent or need to replace a Modem/Router. I recently purchased this unit on sale from Best Buy and I and my family are most pleased with its performance compared to the unit that was provided to me as a rental. This unit with its Built-in DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem is a snap to install, just simply install the cable from your ISP and the unit will connect itself. Within five minutes I was up and running. The powerful 1.6GHz processor will boost your overall performance for enhanced gaming, HD & 4k video streaming. If you want the best WiFi reception thru out your home in 2.4-5GHz for your mobile devices or smart TV's, I prefer the 5GHz for super fast wireless connection this unit will do the job. It also has a host of safety features that are built in for your convenience such as Guest Network, parental controls for safer web surfing, and allows you to set your own passwords, select your own wifi protected access, has DoS Denial of Service attack prevention built in. This Modem/Router is good for up to about 600 mbps, If you have Giga speeds then you will need a Router with DOCISS 3.1, and yes NETGEAR does have a unit for you, and yes Best Buy offers that unit.
