Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love Netgear. This is the 2nd one I have purchased. Very easy setup. Unfortunately I have to return for a Higher speed.

It's a great router, fits the needs of a family of 6 with every device connected, as well as guests. I have hardly any issues with it, until about 2 years later, then we had to replace it. Not bad really with all the abuse we put it through, like, using the wifi 20 hours out of the day. We use smart devices all over our house as well as gaming computers running, this is a tank of a router.

The sales person recommended this modem/router combination for my home - 3 floors plus basement and 13 devices (cell phones plus computer/ipads) that could access the internet. So far it's been working great. I ordered the 60 Mbps from Xfinity and with this modem/router have been able to achieve 55.5 Mbps in actual use. The standard band (58) has more range than the other band (5g) but the 5g band is better for cell phones.

I am not a techie person so I depended on the reputation of this product from others who are when I bought it. The customer service was fantastic. My rep set up a 3-way call with a rep from my internet provider and got the router up and working in no time.

Pumps out a good signal, has plenty of speed, and works with most internet companies. Pretty easy setup and maintenance as well.

Easy to set up and install, having no issues with speed or connectivity

Bought this to save money on the equipment rental charge I get from my internet provider. Easiest modem/router I have ever setup in my life. I’ve tested my up/download speeds and it has gone up ever since I installed this item. I haven’t had any issues or family members complain about WiFi speeds lacking or range issues. I can be out in my shed and still get 3 WiFi bars on both my phone or laptop. Don’t hesitate to buy this.

This is the best router we've had so far! I would fully recommend getting this if you are looking for an upgrade from your basic router/gateway combo. Easy setup and great range. Helps even out dead spots and made it so that we could get what we paid for with Comcast. No issues so far!

So I have been working from home for almost 3 years now, with an older model Netgear that was always losing signal and was on its last leg. I decided that it wasn't going to fix itself so it was time to upgrade. I have security cameras, tablets, computers, televisions and streaming boxes as well as cell phones that all use my signal in my home. So it was important to me to have both 2.4 and 5 available to use since I only had 2.4 on the old one and it seemed to bottleneck. Took about a half hour to install, navigate the settings and get it set to my specifications. Now I have all my low tech gear like my sons tablet, cameras and cell phones on the 2.4 and the computers, tv, gaming systems and streaming boxes on the 5. I have not had any issues buffering, lag or bottlenecking anymore. I did go in and check the channels in my neighborhood so that I knew which ones had the most traffic and avoided those. You can set it to automatically choose a channel, but i found that it always tended to go to the most frequently used ones where traffic was highest and that slowed it down. Now that I have it on less used channels, I have no issues at all. I have a super fast connection with ethernet, and have not had a problem at all since I purchased this model. When I have to upgrade in the future, it will be another Netgear, and if Nighthawk has another dual or even tri-band, it will be mine.

I love this. My computer is connected via Ethernet so I didn't see an increase in speed, but my son uses the wireless connection on his gaming machine and this is much faster for him than the Comcast provided gateway we had. The increased range is what I love - I haven't tested it's limits but it keeps surprising me - husband was taking pics with on his phone out in the field and I saw them all before he could walk back to the house - straight to a shared dropbox folder.

Easy to set-up, reliable, and fast. Took about 10 minutes to get up and running.

Good modem router combo. The speeds were great and had no issues setting up. We use cox and this was compatible

easy to set up and fast. great range with wi-fi, no longer use my wi-fi extenders around the house

Improved my internet service (speed) etc. Product was easy to install & easy to use. I have very little experience and/or knowledge of the operation of modems etc. After research of many modem/router combos I chose the Netgear - Nighthawk praying it would be a good one. I'm very satisfied. If you are a single lady with no one around to help you with this kind of thing buy this one

I had a really nice arris surfboard before this that I got on a good sale, it got burnt up in a storm. So this was in my price range and had all the specs I was looking for, and overall it work really well. My only complaint. And reason it’s not 5 is the netgear genie app does not have the same functionality. There was more personalization and control with the Arris for devices. Some of it can be gained back through the web interface, but it was nicer to have on the app. Still a good product, good range on the WiFi, fast speeds, fast setup.

My old wireless gateway went out, so I went to the store to find a replacement. We have added so many devices that we needed an upgrade. This is a perfect fit. The range is fantastic and all of our devices are full signal and lightning speed. The service at the store was exceptional. The man that helped me was very good and answered all of my questions. I don't know how good the price was, but I am so pleased with the purchase, that I feel I got a really good deal.

Easy to install and configure. Gets top speeds. Flexible - works with all operating systems and wireless devices.

Bought this when switching from DSL to Cable internet to avoid Comcast monthly rental fee. While this modem is more than Comcast provides as far as lanes, the WIFI range is awesome. Previous DSL modem had to have a range extender. This modem sits in the basement and covers the entire house and some of our yard.

Works great and fast speed easy to set up and works with Spectrum.No problems.

Very impressed with the performance of this gateway, noticeable improvement in my internet connection and speed so I'm getting more of my money's worth and enjoying 4k streaming much more efficiently and stronger. Only criticism is their nighthawk app, it's not functional at all and remains stuck saying my firmware is out of date but then their people don't know how to fix this issue, told me my firmware is updated but there's a bug with the app but they haven't fixed it yet
