Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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!

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

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.

Product as described. Works great, price was right (comparable to other websites/stores). Great customer service. This is actually my second one from best buy, first one was awesome but sadly quit working. Went with same one again! Would recommend!!

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!

I was looking at purchasing a modem for use with Xfinity's 150 mbps network and wanted to maximize the speed I would get out of my wireless connection since I am a heavy consumer of streamed data. I read a few reviews and decided on this model, due to the speed and ability to cover my entire house. This modem was an excellent choice. I was thoroughly impressed once I set it up, all my devices connected to the 5ghz connection are actually exceeding the advertised Comcast speeds regularly pulling down 160-180 mbps. I have the router installed in my office loft on the second floor and am able to get a constant connection in my basement and outside without any issues.

This router provide a strong and stable signal for streaming video and game. Also the range is wide. It is good router and easy to setup with internet provider

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!

You get what you pay for. And in this case it is good. Easy set up, and works perfect. Has it for a month now and would not take it back or trade for anythung. Totally worth the price.

Works great had no issues at all setting up. Increased my network performance 3 fold. The range is great. I havent faced any connection drops yet, will keep monitoring

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.

easy to setup, easy to install, slim design, Xfinity compatible, good range, good signal

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!

This seems to be a great router/modem combo device at a somewhat reasonable cost that is easy to set-up and use. I just got Spectrum 200 mbps service installed and this router handles it easily and we can have at least 3 devices using it simultaneously without slowing anything down. It replaced an older router/modem that just wasn't working as well with the new speed. And it can handle faster speeds should I ever need to up my mbps. No issues with it.

Bought the Nighthawk AC1900 Cable Modem Router a month ago. I was able to install it myself as I was anticipating cutting the cord with my cable carrier. It went off without a hitch with the cooperation of the cable company. I found that it was powerful enough not to need any extenders or mesh for my house. As a result, I see that the picture is much clearer than with the Comcast Cable Modem. It is very fast and I have cut the cord from cable for almost a month. Have been very happy.

I’ve had for about a few years works great. Haven’t had any problems with it.

The modem and router are a perfect pair they work well with each other . The hook up was very easy and the installation directions were easy to follow my grandson did just as the instructions said to do and for him being only 13 years old did a great job
