    I have been a loyal Linksys user as long as I have had wifi. I still highly recommend the brand. But this was the only unit I found that met all the high end specs I was looking for at the time and it has lived up to my every expectation. The range reaches farther then anything I have previously owned. The newer technology also has given me faster performance and, thus far, reliable coverage. The user interface and settings are pretty intuitive and easy to navigate. I highly recommend the product if you are in need of high performance with the latest technology.

    I recently moved into a new location and my previous equipment was not cutting it no more. I needed something with more power and range, as well as reliability. I usually run with a separate modem and router but saw this gateway and decided to do a bit of research. I am glad I did and even more glad that I bought it to try out. Excellent equipment, its just superior in every way from my previous setup and its doing well for a lot of others out there as well. Modem itself reaches max speed from isp and the wifi also reaches at max speed. Keep in mind that the 2.4GHz caps out at 100mbps regardless if your isp allows for higher speeds. So when using wifi, us the 5Ghz so you can reach your higher speeds. I am across the house connected to the 5Ghz and I am hiting max speeds, feels like I am plugged in via ethernet cable. The Nighthawk is great for setup, monitoring, traffic, guest-setup, etc. If you were to a modem and router that is equivalent to this next gen networking/wifi 6 equipment. You would be spending at the very least double or more of the cost of this equipment. Oh and don't worry if your current devices don't have wifi 6 themselves, the wifi 6 on this has a built in backwards compatibility for the previous wifi tech and it works very well with it. I would definitely recommend for any home users for; work from home, media, gaming, school, etc. This thing is a beast.

    Top notch security by way of Netgear Armor, excellent range between bridging 2.4g & 5g together, super fast and easy setup. Currently use with Spectrum Gig internet paired with a Google Mesh system and the speeds are downright amazing. Easily the best purchase I’ve made this year. Do yourself a favor, don’t walk—RUN to your nearest BestBuy and snatch this sip before it’s all gone for Xmas!

    Sales People Aren't Trained Enough

    The product is great. Customer service was horrible. I came to the Towson store expecting to trade in my old networking equipment and get 15% off a new router, in addition to using my rewards certificates. Salesperson told me advertisement was wrong and I could not trade in old equipment. He even asked 2 other people before I went through with the purchase. I went back to my car and found the advertisement and went back in to ask why they did not honor the trade-in when it clearly stated that my equipment was eligible. This time I was told that my salesperson was wrong & that yes, I could trade it in and get the 15% coupon. He voided the sale, applied the 15% coupon, rang me up again and then told me that unfortunately, I could no longer use the rewards certificates because I now had to wait 2 weeks for them to post back to my account. At this point I had already given them my old router and modem and had no choice but to keep the new one because otherwise I would have ended up with no router at all and I needed internet at home. This is not only ridiculous but simply unacceptable. The "customer service" employee actually told me that the salesperson "doesn't know about how to handle these trade-in deals". Sure would have been nice to know the before I dealt with the salesperson! I even specifically asked the salesperson if I needed to do the trade-in before purchasing the new equipment and he said no because they never do trade-ins on routers and told me I was wasting my time. Shoppers should be able to trust that the people working here know about all these things. The product itself works great though,

    I'll be the 1st to say I always bought my equipment. A separate modem and wireless router always. I recently sold my home and moved into an apt, so I decided to save some $ and purchase an all in one modem/wireless router. Ive used netgear nighthawk, arrius and keep coming back to netgear. This product works excellent, plenty of range from down 3 floors to out in the parking lot, so ofcourse my apt is fine coverage wise. I wanted to get a mesh system but thought maybe once I'm in a larger space. So for the money, performance, etc, this is the product to buy. It's AX wifi 6 tech, 3.1 so you're set for a good while. Also super easy to setup as things should be in these times along with monitoring your network.

    Didn't want to deal with separate modem and router, and needed a newer one that was fast. This was the best thing out at the time. After hooking it up, no problems. With the Nighthawk app, it guides you throughout the whole process which takes about 15 min. Covers my 2 story 1600 sqft house well. Can stream downstairs to my smart tv with no difficulty. Only drawback was price. If you can find a fast modem and router separately, that would prob be the only other thing I'd consider.

    Ultimate at-home router/modem combo

    If you’re looking for a premium, top of the line router/cable modem combo this is the pinnacle. Easy to use app allows you to see all devices on your network and setup is incredibly simple. Also, allows the signal coming in from my ISP to exceed the expected speeds as I have a gig-speed service, but my speeds are higher than that at ~1400 Mbps. Coverage is better than advertised on wireless connections.

    Powerful Performance & Seamless Connectivity

    The NETGEAR Nighthawk CAX80 has been a fantastic upgrade for my home network. If you have a lot of devices and need reliable, high-speed internet, this is definitely the way to go. It handles everything I run from gaming, streaming, and working usage, without missing a beat. It’s a bit of an investment, but for me, it’s been totally worth it. It's a powerful modem/router combo that can handle heavy usage, I highly recommend it!

    If you are having connection or speed issues with xfinity this will correct all your issues. It takes a few min. to add it to your xfinity account, but after you do you won't have another issue. This is my 2nd nighthawk, The first was working fine but we purchased a rental so i moved the old one over and bought a new one for myself. i am going on more than 10 years with the first and no issues with speed, throttling or connecting. Ditch the crap that xfinity gives you and just purchase one of these.

    So far so good with the AX6000! We had an AC1900 for some time and it was a work horse, but with recent updates/upgrades to our plan with XFinity, it was time to make a change. The price tag is a little hefty at first glance, but it has an easy set up, runs well, and is perfect for our smart home devices as well as the days when both my wife and I are working from home. No more disconnections or buffering issues when we have a ton of things going at once! Definitely check this out if you’re in the market to own your own device!!!

    I want to give a honest review giving this product a 3 star. This device is when is working is very phenomenal. In the past few months that I have own the nighthawk X6000 the coverage and speed is very impressive for I have 1gb internet. Less to say that this is my 2nd device upon the first month of having the cable modem my local internet provider had an internet outage and it fried the modem. I spent all day trying to get it to connect back to my internet provider and it was no success called support and they were back up and ended up with no help. Even called Comcast to ran multiple reset signals and still nothing. I ended up having to use my warranty to replace it for my 2nd device. Recently my internet provider had another outage and man what a mess. To gain access into the modem you'll need a smartphone which is nice. But having no connection with the modem is very tedious. Finally after hours of attempting to connect from the app, I'm able to reconnect the modem into my internet provider. Having to say spending top dollar on a cable modem shouldn't have so must frustration just to get it back into the internet. I'm not trying to blame the product for when having an outage issue but reconnecting this device into my internet provider is such a hassle.

    It’s good but I wished it pushed 1,000mpbs

    This modem is nice. I really like it. My xfinity plan has speeds up to 1,200mbps and my old router would only push to 350. 400 on a good day. This modem is pushing 480-600mbps which is faster than my older one but I’ve yet to see it hit 1,000. Xfinity recommended this modem to support my speeds but I’m not seeing the full speed. Other than that it’s fast, the app is straight forward easy to use. One advice I’d like to give y’all is; when you buy this and activate it with your wifi carrier. They’ll do a test run to make sure the internet is working. If they tell you, it’s not working or the internet isn’t going through, JUST WAIT. I was upset too. I thought I wasted money but no, once it’s activated by whoever you got. You have to Download the app and finish the set up there by making an account. Pretty easy but I had to figure it out myself so hopefully this saves someone else the trouble.
