    Very good modem. It does its Job well. I haven't noticed any problems or drops in connectivity. Nice strong signal throughout my 2 story 1300sqft house. Even outside in my driveway

    We bought this to replace a cheaper router that just didn’t have enough of a signal. Great router strength!

    We bought this so we could avoid having to rent Comcast's modem/router. We moved into a 2 story 2800 sq ft home and I wanted something powerful enough to cover most/all of the house without having to use wifi extenders. This thing does that and more - I can catch a strong signal out in my front yard 25 feet away from the house. I am not a super tech savvy person so I can not speak to the technical aspects of this but if you want to avoid having to rent your modem/router and want something that can support all your devices, this is it!

    We were using the cable company router/modem and kept getting about 50mbps on our 100 mbps plan throughout the house, with really spotty service in rooms. We bought extenders which didn’t really help and we’re about to buy a mesh system when a friend recommended this device. Set up is easy, and we’re getting over 100 mbps throughout areas that we would barely get a signal. This also saves $10 a month in router fees so it’ll pay itself off in a year and a half. Totally worth it.

    Smooths out my cable service wirelessly

    Router/modem from TW cable is new enough and does what it can, but I have walls, 2story, nooks&crannies, tile/cement bathrooms, doors, walls and studs and drywall and I wanted more. Netgear's latest modem and a feature loaded router does the trick. Better, faster, stronger. Have to keep the TW original due to having the phone hookups/jacks, so I plug in both for power. Netgear Nighthawk is on TWs list and eliminates the monthly charges I had (keeping the TW box just for the phone has no fee. and I don't have to bother to turn it in or recycle it.) Happy family makes me a happy customer

    This product worked well, but the issue is that it's no longer usable with Spectrum, at least at the 500 mbps plan, due to it being outdated. To clarify, the modem is outdated with Spectrum. I would imagine that if you were to use the devices as a router, it should work fine.

    This a great modem/router combo. Set up was easy, except the part where they don't tell you that upon first initialization that it'll take approximately 1hr for it to recognize any kind of signal from your cable company. Once that hour has gone by, it works great!! Just don't try to do it before trying to go to bed like I did & stay up waaaaay past your bedtime to make sure it worked properly. Lol. Hope this review helps out some

    I needed to upgrade an old cable modem and apple wireless router. The set up on this was extremely easy. I went from speeds that were half of what I was paying for from my ISP to speeds that are now at, or exceed, my contracted service speeds. Very happy with the investment. The dual band allows older devices to still connect wirelessly on the 2G and my newer devices connect on the 5G. I would recommend to anyone who's system is running on older, slower equipment. I can be on Zoom calls while both my sons are on line gaming and not have any buffer or lag issues.

    This is actually the second purchase of this item, kind of. After purchasing the first time I set up my nighthawk quickly and easily and was off and running. Unfortunately some 10 days later or so I moved some furniture around and accidentally broke a prong on the power cord and was suddenly without an internet connection. After talking to Netgear and Best Buy they allowed me to exchange the nighthawk for a new one and was able to up and running once again. The nighthawk works great even running 3 TVs, multiple phones, PS4, and a few other items!

    At nearly a 1GBB/S its EASY to set up and use. Once in the main router information and settings web page, it's real easy to set up for family use and requires little tweaking for the average user. NOTE: My only problem involved getting to that EASY interface as other installed Internet Security, browser and AV/Malware programs thought my local network was INSECURE or UNSAFE (weird) . There are two choices, either turn off your AV (Not recommended) or White List (AKA: Allowed websites) your private domain (Usually 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.200, as well as http://www.routerlogin.net and http://www.routerlogin.com (both are local). ENJOY!!!!!!

    Great Wi-Fi Router/Modem

    I purchased a Motorola Arris Model SBG6580 SURFboard Modem &Wi-Fi Router earlier this year. The N300 device did not perform well for us. The speed deteriorated significantly at my smart tv in the next room. We were encountering buffering when trying to stream movies. I went to Best Buy and discussed the issue with a knowledgeable sales associate. He recommended the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900. We are very pleased with the performance of this device. It meets all of our streaming and Wi-Fi needs. The speed and signal strength remain strong throughout our home.

    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.
