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.

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.

Easy and Fast setup. Tests at or near my max internet speed every time. Also nice only needing the one device instead of a separate Modem and Router.

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.

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.

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!

NETGEAR Nighthawk AX2700 Router/Cable Modem

I purchased this to replace a wireless router than stopped working. After consulting with the Best Buy representative, I purchased this combined cable and wireless router. Wow, what an upgrade it was over my previous setup. The internet is much faster now. The set up was extremely easy. I have always been a NETGEAR fan. I do recommend the new WiFi 6 technology. It's advanced technology has made a difference. We can have multiple devices on the network (I.E. Grandkids with tablets, XBox, Ring doorbells, etc.) and everything works smoothly. Great purchase for my situation.

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.

A Perfect Cable Modem/Router Combo

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.

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.

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

We recently moved into our first home and needed a new router. The guys at Best buy recommended the Nighthawk so we went with it. Super easy to set up and hasn’t given us any issues! We are very happy!!

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.
