    Not as good as expected. The Nighthawk app is not as user friendly as expected. The big thing is no Parental Controls with this modem. I want to shut of the internet nightly at midnight and you cannot do that on this modem. So disappointed.

    LAN failure first time I tried to use it.

    Purchased approximately 3 years ago, I never used any of the LAN ports in the back. Never plugged anything in even. I went put a mesh network in and found that there is a "hardware issue" according to the tech support at Netgear. Not sure how something that has never been used with no moving parts has a hardware issue but apparently you only get 90 days of free tech support through netgear so no way to help me further. Highly disappointed having paid a premium for what I thought was a good brand and will not be returning to them....ever. For the record, the wireless worked pretty good actually but is basically a complete waste since I need the modem to work.

    Had Xfinity installed at home & purchased modem to eliminate monthly charge. I am a senior and member of geek squad backup so requested assistance with install. I was going to be charged additional service of $100 so I returned modem.

    I read some reviews where it said their wifi speed was too slow but majority of them were saying it was actually good. Unfortunately I ended up as one of those people where my wifi was painfully slow. I tried changing every setting possible to speed it up but no luck. I ended up returning it and went back to Comcast's router/ modem which was always good and much faster.

    I bought the router in October, 2019 because I wanted to save money and not rent the Xfinity router/modem. I'm already having trouble with the internet going out and having to shut it down and turn it on again to make it work. I tried to find information on the Netgear support to fix the problem but it doesn't seem to help. It is cheaper just to rent the Xfinity router/modem.
