    I have had this router for a month now. Prior to this, I was using the ARRIS TG862G that I owned. I have Comcast Blast Internet at 75Mbps downstream. With the Arris router, I was constantly having WiFi connectivity problems. I have 2 smartphones, 1 tablet, 2 media devices, 2 computers and 1 printer. The printer would often go offline and I would have to restart (and sometimes reprogram the Wifi info into the printer). So far, it has been smooth sailing with this router. For one, it is much faster as it offers 24 channels (I think?). The reliability has been excellent. As for the printer, I now have it connected over Ethernet (versus WiFi previously). The speed difference (I used speedtest.net) between the Arris and Netgear is clear as day. While arris was topping at 45 Mbps, the Netgear averaged 65 Mbps. Yes, it is pricier than the Arris router, but it is well worth the extra money. The time you spend wasting trying to recover from an offline device can never be recovered.

    I went to best buy after getting rid of my Cox cable modem and was looking for a new modem that was fast enough to keep up with my internet and my nighthawk x6 router. I asked for help from one of the best buy associates and he recommended this modem. When I got home and installed it, I was upset and wanted to return it because I only wanted the modem, I had a router at home, and this product is a dual cable modem and wireless router. Before returning it, I decided to give it a try, thanks to my son asking me to do so. I think it was a great decision, my internet is beyond fast, and extremely reliable, i've has it for almost a month and I recommend this product 100%. Thank you best buy associate, good pick.

    Set up for this product was quick. With old cable modem/router combo, did not get speed I paid for. Now I get speed I paid for. Maybe there is something to channel bonding. Good range This set up is in a room with a closed door so signal travels through walls fine. Great deal!

    I really like this router/modem. It was very easy to install and works great, much better than my router provided by my cable company. Faster speeds and much less dropping of signal if any. I was first a little hesitant to spend over $200 on a router, but it was definitely worth it!

    Purchased after realizing the existing router we had would not support the gigabit speeds we are getting from Xfinity. Easy setup, a multitude of devices are connected and rarely notice any lag. Very happy with this purchase so far.

    NETGEAR NIGHTHAWK AC1900

    The NETGEAR NIGHTHAWK AC1900 combo was a pleasant surprise; the router and monitor combo surpassed my expectations. The synergy between the router's performance and the monitor creates a notably robust combination. Unlike my previous setup with a separate Modem & Router, this combo has significantly simplified things, leading to a noticeable improvement in speed. Although, the setup did take a bit longer than anticipated, the overall benefits make it well worth the effort.

    I purchased this to get a better coverage radius around my house and have been impressed with just how far the coverage extends, I can walk to my neighbors front porch and still have connection. It works great, was easy to set up and connect and worth every penny. Found this to be the best option for the price.

    I bought this router to accommodate my TWC service. It is fast and overall - excellent with no problems to date. The only issue is my anti virus system warns the password which came with the router is weak. My daughter was rushing to finish an assignment for school and was able to continue in the garage and to the mailbox (router in the family room). She had finished by then so the chances are the range is even further. I'm just enjoying the fact this is the best router I've had. There's no need to rent from the cable companies as this will quickly pay for itself compared to a rental, plus if you choose to go to another company you have to give it back. No thank you.

    WARNING: Cannot handle anything above the 250mbps speeds from Comcast. This is mislabeled according to the comcast local services. Apparently need DOCSIS 3.1. That being said this is an amazing router/modem. Have had no issues with it and love the customizable functions. Others I've had in the past have been fried after 2 years right on schedule. Gone over 3 years and almost to 4 years with the older model of this one. Only reason I bought this one was for a family member's house. We even kept it in an enclosed box and never overheated. Can handle a full smart home with multiple streaming devices, smart light systems, thermostat, and cameras + still spike up to speeds of 285mbps on comcast which it isn't rated for anymore. Love the customizable options and the control I have vs the IPS provider options.

    I didn’t want to rent a modem from the cable company. It didn’t make sense, because after a year I would had paid enough in rental payments to have more than paid for my own modem. Besides, the one they offered is good but it has limitations. There are many good reviews on this modem. Also, I received recommendations from several of my friends that have careers in the IT world. No matter the brand, I was told to get the 28x8 so I could maximize the speed with minimal disruptions. I was told not to get the 32xX (more expensive) because the cable company doesn’t have this capability — perhaps in the future. It was simple to install, hookup, and initiallize. I’ve experienced no issues with range, multiple connections, or Netflix downloads. I normally don’t provide reviews, however, I made an exception in this case — I recommend this product.

    Excellent, Stable, Solid Modem/Router Combo

    I'd been looking for a router/modem combo for months. I also needed a mesh system, because I couldn't get a wifi signal in parts of my home. I started reading about the Orbi, but decided to wait because of the price. Then the pandemic hit, people started working from home (like me), and the Orbi sold out everywhere. I put an alert on this product, and purchased it the moment it came back in stock. It has been a lifesaver. It was SUPER easy to install. Even after being on the phone with my ISP for over an hour to get it up an running, I'd still say this product is worth every penny I paid and minute I spent setting it up. My speeds are 7x faster than they were before (I didn't realized I wasn't getting the speeds I was paying for), and I can finally get wifi signal throughout my entire house. If you're reading this, just go ahead and buy it now. You won't regret it!

    Fantastic Product

    This is a fantastic product for the person that wants to simplify there home network. This is also a great product if you want the ability to change DNS server information or assign static IP address for LAN or wireless connections. If you are a big video-gamer like me you can manipulate everything to optimize the best performance possible for pc or game systems. The customer service is solid and the product comes with a full supported App for your mobile devices. Setup is easy and by combining the router and the modem you have less wires running everywhere. Probably my favorite thing about this product is that it comes with both 2.4G and 5.0G channels giving your home network options such as guests or those you allow access to. In other words you can assign everyone where you want them and at what gigs you want them consuming on your network. Also, if you want to disconnect any device for whatever reason you can right from your phone. I recommend this product and think even if you don’t fully understand technology you will still be happy with this router/modem.

    Tired of renting cable modem/router, purchased last month and was super easy to set up, and got excellent prompt help for final setup from Netgear. It performs equal or better, and my extender also works better due to stronger signal (?) from the Nighthawk AC1900 router/DOCSIS modem.

    For the price, this is a winner. Would have wanted to get the next step up Nighthawk but just couldn't pull the trigger on the cost. This is providing a noticeable upgrade from my old Netgear wireless router and Motorola modem combo. Easy enough to set up. Recommend.

    The range is great, we have signal anywhere on our 1/4 acre property. Even works in the detached garage. With COVID we have been using a lot of bandwidth with a lot of devices connected and are internet has been pretty solid. It was also very easy to setup.
