Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall very satisfied with installation, setup, and ease of use. Speeds are also excellent. The associated app leaves a lot to be desired compared to Motorolas Minim. But, if you’re not managing content for a couple of kids in the house—not a big deal.

Running strong in my home. handling 15+ devices while gaming on two computers and multiple streaming services running.

I wanted to switch out the cable modem from Xfinity. This product is a game changer, I got better coverage, less streaming clocking and better internet functioning. The AX2700 isn't cheap, but it will upgrade the performance of your wi-fi needs.

I've had this modem/router for almost 1 year and have not had any problems with it. Setup was easy and once I registered it with my ISP it connected immediately. Interface is easy to use and routine reboot is quick. Broadband and wifi performance nearly reaches my 1Gb broadband service. This was a significant performance improvement over ISP rental modem/router. Would definitely recommend this for a boost to home performance. Wifi performance almost doubled!

Smooth streaming, gaming, and browsing, even with multiple devices. Easy setup, strong security, and excellent range. Highly recommended!

I spent 4 hpurs with Cox trying to get another brand router/modem installed but to no avail. I decided to return it and buy the Netgear Nighthawk CAX30S. It took 5 minutes to install and get working. My speeds are great and its range is much better than the Cox cable modem/router.

Had to call comcast and then there was an issue that required calling netgear too. Got it rigged up and running after a bit, after a couple phone calls to difficult to understand phone representatives from the two companies. Working fine so far, speeds are testing higher when I run xfinity speed test. Reality is though, it doesn't feel any different than my Motorola 7550, which comcast said didn't meet the speed requirements. Who knows. This mug was expensive. For $379 I kinda feel I should be able to drive this thing to work and talk to it like a robotic friend to help console me from the tears I shed from spending fo' hunned dollas

Unfortunately, I ended up return this model because it was not compatible with my phone service with Cox Communications. Written on the box in small print it tells you that. After returning this item, I switched to fiber. I did set this up and used it briefly, for like a few hours, and during those few hours, it worked fine.

I purchased this router/modem combo to replace a previous NETGEAR router/modem. That one worked fine for about five years... until it just stopped working. POSITIVE: I've had this one running for about 6 weeks now and it does a great job for personal and work from home duty. We use it mainly for general Internet browsing via laptops/mobile phone, Netflix streaming and video conferencing for work and there are no issues. (Our Internet is provided by cable with 800 MB service.) Each computer / TV has multiple walls (all on the same floor) between the device and the router/modem but speed is still good. NEGATIVE: The set-up process was a HUGE pain. Looking back, I think where the process really went off the rails was when I tried to change the network name and password during the initial set-up, to reuse what I had with my previous modem/router. This is actually RECOMMENDED by NETGEAR as part of the set-up process. After several days of frustration and NETGEAR blaming the cable company and the cable company blaming NETGEAR, I finally spoke to someone at NETGEAR who said you should NEVER try to change the network name / password away from the default values during the initial set up. They said wait at least 24 hours before making that change. So when I started over and used that approach, things worked much better and the next day it did accept the old values and things continued to work fine. If making this change causes issues during initial set-up, then it should NOT be recommended by NETGEAR as part of the set-up process. Knowing this up front would have saved me hours of wasted time and a lot of frustration. Overall the product seems to work well, but the set-up almost made me want to take it back and get another brand.

The modem router combo was very easy to set up and use. I love the security features and the notifications. 9/10, would buy again.

I think this combo is pretty good. But I’m not completely thrilled about the app

We have enjoyed this product thoroughly! Super fast and easy to use.

It has great security features but not a lot of information on how to use them. I had to stumble my way around set up and spent way more time than I cared to tweaking it. I will say, I am very impressed with the Netgear / Bitdefender subscription. It's very robust and vigilant! I don't like that some features are controlled via the web portal and some on the phone app. And the optional VPN subscription is a 3rd separate app. It all needs to be in one place. And the stuff you can do on the phone app, can't be accessed on a computer. There is no download for that. Personally, I find it easier to do things on my laptop than on my phone. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase but if you are not tech savvy or relentless in your quest to understand how it all works, I would suggest hiring an IT person to install and set it up for you so that you take advantage of all of the features and not just the basic plug and play version.

Easy to set up works just like it’s stated with Xfinity, love the NETGEAR Armor free trial period for additional virus protection.

This Router with Modem was just what my Xfinity system needed for an upgrade. It was reasonably priced and very easy to set up. It has improved our overall performance for all of our TV's, Echo's, computers and cell phones. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to cut our the monthly fees that Comcast/Xfinity charges for their router/modem.

After connecting the unit to your cable and calling your internet provider to get it recognized, go to a computer and go to routerlogin.net and set it up from there like the instructions say. If you try to start connecting your devices without doing that, they will keep dropping from the network until you do. Also, download the app to your phone and afterwards and in the settings, update the software. After doing these things, I set the security to WPA3, then set the connectivity to their Smart connect in the app. After doing all of this, I finally started to connect devices to the new network without issue. My iPhone connected automatically, and I found the password for the new network when I went to the WiFi settings for the new network on my phone. Then I used that password to connect the other devices.

Very good setup, excellent range & a better router/modem combo

Bought this for my girlfriend after she moved into her new place and the setup was quite easy. Just scanned the QR code and followed the instructions and worked like a dream. Covers 918SQFT with full bars, the protection system/app makes monitoring any unwanted devices on the network easy. Definitely recommend this for apartment living.

I bought this item and it’s been absolutely rock solid. Great range and speeds are right up to what I am paying for and then some with spectrum . Very easy to setup and install. This one replaced a prior model after five years. Very dependable.

I have only been using the Nighthawk for a short period of time. But it is very fast, and reliable (no drops). Installed easily, and has a good admin interface. Would recommend.
