Customer Ratings & Reviews

I don't believe in renting a hand-me-down modem from the cable company, when I can own one for less money. This was an upgrade for my C300 Netgear Modem (that worked great, but was struggling with multiple computers doing remote learning or working at teh same time). The setup was very easy, then a call to the cable company to update the new MAC ID# and everything was online. This version has both 2.4GHz & 5GHz at the same time, so you can pick the band you need. 5G is faster, but doesn't penetrate as many walls as the 2.4G which can reach all over my house and into the garage. The Ethernet ports on the back also allow me to use an additional router for older machines (older computers I use for my CNC's & my garage workshop). This unit also comes with the FREE Nighthawk app which has ALL of the internet monitoring and control features (seeing who's on the network, guest accounts, parental controls, internet pausing and more) that the cable companies want you to pay them extra money for.

My cable internet service speed was increased a few months ago to 300 mbps. My prior modem, a Motorola Surfboard, was only getting 100. Also, recently I had to start rebooting every day or other day because my speeds would suddenly drop; rebooting fixed that. So I really had two problems to solve for the modem. For the router, I had actually purchased an AC router (Netgear) in January of 2015 and it generally did a fine job. However, about after six months of usage, it started dropping the internet connectivity for devices connected wirelessly; wired devices were fine. A reboot would fix that. I never was able to resolve that so decided to try the approach of an integrated unit. Theoretically less "moving" pieces. It was very easy to set up. I ended up having to talk to a technician at Time Warner but I don't think that was the fault of the modem. I think they had issues with the device registration site. But it was painless and I quickly got it set up to my usual SSID and such. The signal in the house is pretty strong. I have a two story of about 3500 square feet and the device is at one end of the house and still has solid strength at the other end (home built in 2006 to give you and idea of what the walls might be like). When I run speedtest, depending on the server, I can actually get 320 download speed and consistently get between 20 and 23 upload speed. There are parental controls but as my kids are now over 21, I haven't had to use parental controls in many years. So I cannot speak for the ease of use or quality of them. The web admin interface (Genie) loads very quickly, much more quickly than the old router I had with the same interface. In the interface, you can set up as much detail as you want it appears. You can block specific services to specific ports and even to the level of specific IPs on your network. I've not had to really do that but nice to know it is there. There is also the ability to provide access control so you specifically enable devices based on their MAC address. Not that the MAC couldn't be spoofed but if you are have concerns about others getting into your network even if you have a password on your network, you can implement further levels of access control. A feature I haven't used on this device but used in the prior router (same feature) is plugging in a USB devices, specifically a hard drive I have in an external case. You can use this to create network accessible storage directly using USB from the router/modem. I found it worked rather well. The other option is attaching a printer. That would be really useful if you have a nice printer that doesn't have a network connection and you want to make it available to your network. Or, if it only has a wired connection and you don't want to use any of the Ethernet ports. There are four Ethernet ports. I use a hardwired connection for my desktop and work laptop, my NAS, and then a run I have to a Harman Karman receiver. I've had no issues with any of the ports and they all seem to get full throughput. The wireless performance I've not dived into greatly but I definitely measured 100 download speed from a laptop connected tot he 5G network segment halfway across the house. Of course time will tell (I've been running this about two weeks now) but so far I'm please with the purchase. I chose to invest a bit more than originally planned (this cost me $280 before tax) but I wanted to try to be forward looking. I had also considered the AC 1750 which is about $80 cheaper. I hope this helps. Good luck in your purchase.

I purchased this after seeing a review on YouTube. I have suddenlink as my provider and my speed is around 400mb/s, which is well under the limit of this device. I was using the provided router modem and using speed tests on my phone or Xbox I rarely would see actual speeds anywhere close to that or even half of that. I now have blazing fast WiFi that supports all my devices simultaneously. I do a bit of online gaming and my load times are better, download speeds are awesome, and as far as YouTube or Netflix I haven’t had to have anything buffer even once. All of this performance on all my devices is via WiFi. If my Xbox setup was ok the same floor and able to reach for hard wire I’m sure it’d Be even better. Setup was a breeze even without a computer. I used my iPhone when it tried to auto connect to the WiFi. Berger’s has an app to help setup but I personally found it easier to use my browser to do that instead of the app. In short I dropped $11 a month in equipment rental fees and scored this one on sale for Father’s Day for $154.99. Really hard to pass up especially when I had a few $5 reward credits to use as well.

Very easy to set up (especially using Netgear iPhone/iPad App), easy to use, very reliable so far. Like dual band choice, functional indicator lights very helpful. Like having cable modem and wireless router in single device (don't have to authorize, set up, and manage two separate devices). Strong wireless signal through out house allowed removal of wireless signal booster. Modem/router meets expectations and needs.

I recently signed up for TWC 300Mbps, using the equipment provided by them I maxed out at 152 Mbps when directly connected to the router. I bought this baby and my last speed test came back with 349 Mbps! Keep in mind that I was directly connected to the router with a CAT 6 Ethernet cable. My WiFi in the house I am seeing speeds of 150 Mbps and higher. This was easy to setup and has boosted the range and speeds of my home network. This was well worth the money to purchase. I am very happy with my new modem/router. I will buy the matching Range extender soon to.

Quick and easy setup. Great product. Starting streaming right away . Better than my old router from my internet provider.

Easy setup and flawless connection at 200mbps at my use. It’s capable of much faster speeds. Easily supports 1500sq ft. A great all in one solution that still has some longevity as far as life of technology. Would purchase again!

I was tired of paying a monthly fee to Xfinity so I finally broke down and bought a router/modem. Works great, fast has great range in the house and most important the setup took about 5 minutes. Easiest router I have ever connected Highly recommend this one

Its a great modem router combo. Works perfect for high-speed internet. Has option of 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks to work at same time. Great price and great performance. Easy to setup and easy to control using the App.

I received this modem/router for free as a tester for the Netgear friends and family program. Having said that, I promise this is a fair and accurate review of the product. I am a Time Warner Cable internet customer with the Ultimate 300 plan. Before this router I had the Netgear AC1750, which is a good router, but the wifi from the AC1900 is a huge improvement! The speeds I receive from either router directly to my desktop through an Ethernet cable are comparable at about 300 mbps. This may be a limitation of my 4 year old computer or the TWC feed itself, but what I would expect for the plan I pay for. Where I think this router really shines is wifi speed. I live in a large single story ranch house with several rooms and walls in between the opposite ends of the house. The router is approximately in the center of the house. Using Speedtest.net on my Galaxy Tab S I averaged 269 mbps download and 24 mbps upload over the 5g wifi signal about 50 feet away from the router in the kitchen. At the other end of the house through several more walls I was getting over 100mbps download on the same device. My kid's IPhone 5s was able to get over 60 mbps in his bedroom which has historically been a wifi deadzone in our house. The 2.4 signal seemed to work better in the most remote areas through the most walls. With the improvement in wifi I would have been willing to do just about anything for the installation, but luckily, the installation was super easy. Following the instructions in the included Quick Start guide, I typed in the TWC address indicated and had the AC1900 activated and operating in less than 5 minutes----without talking to TWC on the phone! Also, after downloading the Netgear genie app, I changed all of the SSIDs and passwords to my previous settings so I didn't have to do any changes on my wireless devices. All told from opening the box to total completion was less than 30 minutes with no difficulties. This was the easiest modem/router install I've ever done.

Quick set up and nice network tools included. Delivers excellent speed and reliability. Very consistent and strong signal. Produces over 150 Mbts on my Comcast Boost plan. Much more reliable and consistent than my former router.

First off , easy to use . Easy to set up . You can control EVERYTHING with this router/modem combo . You can set websites you don’t want used , block IP addresses you don’t want on you network , toggle 2.4 & 5 ghz on and off as you please . And if you’re tired of spending 15-25 dollars a month on renting one from your ISP. Look no further . Here is , in my opinion , the best option available . Great for gaming , streaming , etc . Constant connection and I have no spikes , drops or any issues with connectivity at all . Plus for my situation in about 6 month of using this and the “rental” not being on my bill, it will pay for itself .

just bought it today and the setup was easy, had to call my internet provider to setup on their end,netgear website is easy to use and wifi ssid and password setup is a breeze haven't tried out the parental control yet but will do when i have the time. the price was $199.99 and i didn't know it was on sale and was $16.00 discounted. So far NETGEAR - Nighthawk Dual-Band AC1900 Router been working very good, by the way i have spectrum internet 100mbps and with this Netgear Nighthawk router I did 2 test 1 test is with my ether net wire and it tested at 100mbps and 2nd test was with my wifi adapter which is the N network and it also tested at 100mbps. So yes this NETGEAR - Nighthawk Dual-Band AC1900 Router is worth the money, but it's not compatible with certain internet provider.

Works like a charm. Easy setup and connected to all my devices instantly. Send strong signals to my Tesla sitting in the garage. Good riddance rental equipments. Freedom!!

This was exactly what I needed, setup was fairly easy and it's been fast and reliable. It has a strong signal too, I don't even need to use my WiFi extender like I did with my old router/modem.

I had a Motorola SBG6580 since 2014 amd recently the internet speed was extremely slow. So, I started searching for a new modem router and found Nighthawk... After the set up, the whole family was able to notice the huge difference immediately. It works very good even outside the house (the old one didn’t) I see some reviews where it states “the set up was not easy”... I absolutely disagree with them!! I first downloaded the “Nighthawk” app on my phone and it let me follow the steps and everything was set and running in less than 10 minutes. So, I highly recommend you to use the phone app.

Great product super fast and easy installation and outstanding performance

I have a smaller home, this was able to give me great coverage across my house. The speeds from xfinity are actually 150 mbps down/ 10-15mbps up vs 90/5 on my old modem/router. This also decreased my latency when playing online games. It is pricey, but it has the capability for faster speeds in case I want to upgrade later. Overall it is 2 devices in one, so the price is somewhat justified. I would recommend it, I would avoid the netgear genie software for now. It seems dated and caused more problems than helped. The iPhone app however is clean and actually helpful.

Previous Netgear finally died after many years. this was an easy choice for a replacement. The Nightgear App makes setup customization and monitoring a breeze. No more slow router sites 192.168.yadayada. The app clearly lists with names the devices on the account proving very beneficial in monitoring tablet time for all the parents out there. Blazing speeds to match my Comcast ability, and reliable signal strength throughout my home with the router placed in the living room(2200 sqft home with basement for reference)

So bought this to return the cheap rental modem from spectrum and save money which pays itself. I have a good speed package 200+mb and barely getting 90 for my Xbox. After the easy installation process that took less than 10 min my speeds jumped crazy. Peaking at over 232mb 24/7 all times of day on my Xbox when I play and find games. ZERO LAG when everyone on Netflix and there devices. Range is also really good way better than my other one. My phone speed went from 40mb top to about the same 230+ it’s just amazing this product and easy to use on your phone connecting devices and mapping them. my only regret not buying this a long time ago :(
