    Very good router and modem. Handles high speeds. Quick and easy install with the app. The range is really good. It reaches from one end of the house to the other. I recommend this router.

    Netgear Nighthawk AX2700 Router is exceptional

    The NETGEAR - Nighthawk AX2700 Router with 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem is fantastic. This review is totally subjective (none of the technical specs, etc.). I recently had a cable outage in my area and after everyone else was up in the neighborhood I couldn't connect to the internet. Long story short the technician said that sometimes the signals they send to check your router occasionally kills your router, consequently I bought this new Nighthawk AX2700. This piece of equipment is blazing fast! I probably have 30-40 devices on my network and everything is running smoothly and without issue. My grandson is on his PlayStation 5 just about every night and he says that the graphics are great and there are no "glitches" while his sister is on her PlayStation 4. My wife and I both work from home and are on the internet Monday - Friday 8-5 connected to our work environments and have no issue with spreadsheets, using Microsoft word, Outlook, etc. This modem is a beast in comparison to the last Nighthawk router I had. It's a little pricey but worth every penny.

    I am currently an Xfinity customer. I got this router so I didn't have to rent one from Xfinity. This router definitely pays for itself! We got 1Gig of internet for our 1500sqft. townhome and it does the job! I didn't need to buy an extender for coverage upstairs as this router was situated downstairs in the living room. The setup was painless and easy. My boyfriend did it all through the Xfinity app once we got the router.

    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.

    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.

    Great Cable Modem

    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!

    Our Internet Speed is Finally Reaching Us

    Waited 3 months to leave a review. Gateway has not broken down. It does not overheat or sound like it is vacuuming the air around it. It reaches every corner of the house (2400 sq. ft.) and the sole reason all our outdoor Blink cameras finally work. Internet speed is as we paid for. It was easy to install over the app (make sure it is connected and that you talked to your provider).

    I am a Remote Video Editor/Gamer with a little gamer kid running around. Having a reliable modem/router is imperative to avoiding family issues over internet usage. Having used modems, routers, and all-in-one gear like this before, I am most pleased with this model. Any given week, I download 1-2TB of data and upload .5TB over a 1000mbps down/50mbps up connection. 14 devices hooked into it with 4 seeing heavier bandwidth usage(phones, tablets, TV, game consoles). This router can keep up without messing up. If you ever used your ISP's high end equipment the comparison is apples to oranges. The wireless range and strength of this product is great. I have it near the front of the house and still get full strength signal out in the backyard with no loss of strength anywhere in the house. If you are on the fence about it, hop over! Connects easily with COX ISP as advertised on box.

    Very happy with this purchase. Setup was very easy, in large part to the great app and guide. I also really appreciate the app for its security features and intuitive interface. I’m a little disappointed by the range, as I don’t get as good of coverage as I would have thought, hence 4 stars, but it’s fast and so far has been a great workhorse.

    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.

    Great modem router combo

    Since I have installed this router modem combo I have been getting much better speeds and also much more consistent speeds. I previously had one that was a separate modem and router and that took lots of space but with this new combo I now have much more space on my desk which helps immensely. The range covers my entire house which is about 3500sq 2 floors. The setup was quick and easy and the app makes it great to see the available devices currently connect to you router and even when your not home you can still control and run speed tests which is really neat. But overall I think it’s a great deal and definitely worth it. Highly recommend.

    Noticeable Uptick in Speed

    My previous Netgear modem recently became unsupported by Xfinity. I thought I had decent speed and coverage with my old Netgear modem. The Nighthawk AX2700 setup and install took less than 5 minutes. The Quick Setup manual was very straightforward. The Nighthawk app is easy to use and makes the whole transition to a new Modem Router seamless. Now to the best part, as I stated earlier I thought I had decent speed with my old Netgear modem. The Nighthawk AX2700 blows the previous one out of the water, both in speed and coverage. We have over 15 devices on the router, the Nighthawk app allows you to see who is on it, and control their access as well. No lag, or buffering in this household. Wonderful upgrade from our old Netgear equipment!

    Very happy with the modem/router thus far. Set up was a little more than I expected, had to call my service provider, maybe that’s not uncommon(I’m not very tech savvy). Pros; The security, let’s me know when a new device is connected and if it’s safe. The ability to pause the internet on only the kids devices is great. I can run speed tests. All of this controlled though an app on my phone. Only Con I have so far is price, but I feel like it was worth it.

    GOOD PRODUCT - PAINFUL SETUP

    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.
