    I purchased this style router for my new home. I don't do much gaming so I didn't need a higher end router. This router was perfect for my needs (3 tv's, Playstation 5 console, laptop). The price was perfect also.

    So I purchased this to replace and older Motorola model hoping to improve some performance issues I was having. The range on this unit was significantly better i was able to get a good signal throughout my house, it has alot more options and parental controls. The bad part of it is that you have to reset modem every few days in order to be able to log into the router and reset the internet speed as it's reduced. Also the time is off and there's no way to change it to the correct time. Finally Netgear customer service is horribly good luck getting ahold of them to try and resolve anything If Netgear is able to resolve these issues it would be a great product.

    I purchased this modem/router combo for my parents because they seemed to always have issues with dead spots using the device provided by cable One. It was really easy to set up and now I don’t get random calls from my parents asking why their internet doesn’t work.

    High-Rated Cable Modem WiFi Router

    I purchased the NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band AC1900 Router with 24 x 8 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem to save money on my cable bill each month because I was being charged a monthly rental fee for using the cable company's (Altice/Optimum) voice modem. This NETGEAR WiFi Router Cable Modem combo has very good ratings & reviews - to get top combined WiFi speeds of up to 1.9Gbps with AC1900 in this 2-in-1 CableLabs DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem and WiFi Router. It ensures uninterrupted HD video streaming with industry's first 24x8 channel bonding giving the fastest download speeds, up to 960Mbps even during peak hours. Unfortunately I need to return it because this NETGEAR modem is NOT compatible with the Altice/Optimum Voice cable internet service. I'm still unable to return this item because I was informed be my local BEST BUY store that they are not taking returns because of the COVID-19 situation now.

    Works great in my 4000 sq ft home. Saved a lot of money by not renting from Xfinity anymore. Needed a little help setting up but was connected to someone quickly and finished setup in 20 min.

    This is an amazing router. I have about 20 connected devices in my home. This handles them all flawlessly. My ISP is Comcast and I pay for the blast service (150mbps) I get a bit faster speeds with this modem/router. I also get to eliminate the rental fee yay!

    NetGear has a history of producing some great modems and routers. I have never had any major problems with their products. When Comcast was going to charge me some unreasonable monthly fee for the use of their own modem, I chose to purchase my own. This one is great - fast internet service and no issues so far.

    If you have a decent-sized home and are concerned about Wireless coverage, this will give you the largest footprint of any all-in-one Router/Modem on the market today with the highest speeds currently available. If you want to stop paying your Cable company to "rent" your inferior modem, this is the BEST option IMHO. :)

    My previous Netgear router was good but due to a really bad lightning storm and not plugged into a surge protector, I know don’t say it! This was a fantastic upgrade and I’m very happy with it. Was easy to install, and the folks at Best Buy were awesome!

    I was looking for a complete system in one package. I researched online and the store. This Nighthawk does it all. I was able to discard my extender. It is programmable to allow separate personal and guest log ones. I did get a professional to install.

    This is my 2nd Netgear router and modem and the WiFi range is excellent. The install was easier and with a 2300 sq ft 3 floor house it works great. We have a 4K TV that streams plus 2 other TV’s (2nd flr and basement) along with 3 laptops, 3 smart phones and an iPad with no WiFi issues.

    Bought it to replace my old very slow modem. I had an external router, but since I was replacing my modem, decided to buy a unit with modem built in. Very satisfied with it. Used a Wi-Fi strength app and walked around my house. No loss of signal. Very strong signal. Highly recommend this.

    We were looking for a router that was to replace an existing router when we changed internet carriers. We were met by a Best Buy rep who immediately offered assistance. He recommended the Netgear router based on our expected requirements. We have had the router for approximately three wheels and it has performed outstanding.
