DO NOT RENT XFINITY MODEM FOR 10 EACH MONTH. DO NO PAY 99 DOLLARS FOR INSTALLATION. What you need to go is buy this modem from best buy and active it in any Xfinity Store. Speed - Fast. Gigabit ports. 802.11ac support. Setup - Easy setup with Comcast/Xfinity. No calls to make. Simply go to their activation site and wait 5-10 minutes. After one year, you pay 12*10+99=219, but the modem is still not yours if you rent. however you pay one time in best buy, the modem is yours and even though you plan to change to ATT, you can still use this modem.

the best router I ever used. It has the bandwidth to make your gaming dreams come true. It was easy to setup and extremely fast and reliable.

I switched from renting Comcast's modem and brought my own.. not only do I save money each month my speed seems like it triples virtually no lag on pag loads and the no buffering... Great Modem

Easy to set up. Installation instructions are clear. Customer support is very helpful. After 30 days usage, there have been no problems. Range and strength cover entire house with no need for additional pods. The only glitch in installation was caused by my ISP.

My second NetGear modem/router combo. Easy to setup. First one lasted 9 years. Might have been affected by lightning as it went out suddenly. Price increased by about 40% over that time.

I'm a Spectrum customer at time of writing. I prefer having choice and control over my networking hardware - I'm picky, I'm quite technically able, and I hate having things hidden because of OEM or ISP restrictions. Setup on this was dead simple - the only thing that made it take any time was a little glitch with the activation page for spextrum on first logon, which was a Spectrum issue, not a modem issue. Performance so far has been great, with no complaints about coverage in a 2br apartment.

Easy setup right out of the box, hardest part was calling the cable company to add the new modem to their network. Been working fine, better speed no more buffering.

Great router works awesome with Comcast. I’m getting over 600mbs with this thing. It’s powering 15 devices at my house and no issues.

I wish that I'd bought this sooner! I was renting the Comcast router, and every time I tried to stream something, it either wouldn't load or kept stopping and buffering, making it unwatchable. This router is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I can stream anything. And watch it with no annoying buffering, lagging, or stopping. My only regret is that I didn't purchase it sooner. If I could give it 10 stars, I would! Don't hesitate to buy this if you are experiencing the same problems that I was. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am with this purchase!

It's very interesting item,easy to connected and fast internet

Excellent device. Easy setup, and it runs really well. A very big improvement over my former combo modem/router, both in speed and reliability.

Recently moved and signed up for Cox Cable. They provide media content, internet and phone service. The cable ready, modem/router unit they provided gave only 15-25 Mbps speeds for a line contracted to provide 50 Mbps. At least once a day, I would have to reset the modem. After 2 visits by Cox representatives, I decided to return the Cox modem/router. Installation of the Nighthawk was very simple to do. Since replacing the Cox devise, I have consistently gotten over 50 Mbps with speeds hitting 65 mbs. In almost 2 months, I have not had to restart it once. Range seems very good with good signal strength through out our 2000 sq ft condo and into the yard.

Cut the cord with cable and saved about $200 having my own router. This one is faster than cable even set up was plug in pick a password and done. Could not be happier with this router have had it for a month not one issue. Always check Best Buy first usually has the best price and this was no exception. Highly recommend!

There is only one room in my house that doesn't get as good of reception. Other than that, the signal is strong all around. This router/modem works with Comcast Xfinity Internet service, so you can install this, register the Netgear router over the phone with Comcast Xfinity and complete the setup. Send back the Comcast router and you're now saving the equipment rental fee. Keep this for a year and you'll almost make your money back, keep it for two years and you will be making money by saving the $10+ /month rental fee.

This unit has worked really nice so far! Could not take paying Xfinity another month for a rental modem with a crappy signal. The Netgear set up really easy but BEWARE...having Xfinity then recognize it and update your account is a whole other process of frustration. So far, speed has been great and no connection issues at all. This is not a modem if you have telephone service as well so keep that in mind. Feel like the cost is still high especially with how fast technology needs updating.

We needed a faster, more powerful modem router combo for our home because our new home is more spread out than the two story house we moved from and we also ran into problems with our previous router not having enough channels for all the devices we were connecting. Now with this upgraded Nighthawk combo we don't need any WiFi Extender, downloads are smoother, and connections have been flawless!

This was an upgrade from my older netgear wifi router. Easy setup and noticeable difference on performance, no more buffering while multiple devices connected.

very easy to install and get started, excellent product

Very easy to setup. Offers 4 wired access lines as well as two WiFi channels. I get the speeds I pay for and have experienced no technical issues thus far

We knew we needed a hardware upgrade for a couple of years. We went from an Asus voice/modem from Xfinity and Linksys router, to THIS amazing Netgear modem/router combo! Who needs a landline anymore? After Speedtest, our Xfinity speeds are faster & more efficient! Perfect for working from home, browsing, videos, streaming with the dual bands! We don't have any gamers in the household. VERY EASY to setup & manage users on network!
