Customer Ratings & Reviews

Only had it operational 2 weeks now, however it is operating as described and was simple to install once I contacted my internet provider. Documentation for install and settings were not included so you pretty much have to figure it out on your own if you have some basic knowledge of modems. I did find a manual online at the product website and the NightHawk App is basic with no way of tweaking the modem or changing settings. The NightHawk is not to big and front panel display and rear ports and connections are straight forward. I have mine always on and as yet To run hot or overheat but I am going to purchase a cooling fan just because. So after tech support runs out and six or months pass then I will review again, hopes this helps someone, and yes it is a dual modem with speed and good WiFi. My home is about 2400 square ft,2 story and have no coverage issue with speed 2.4 and 5g.

So far, coverage and speed has been good. Very easy to set up. One drawback, some older devices cannot see the router when the wi-fi 6 feature is turned on. I had to go in a unselect it to allow a 3 year old laptop to see the router.

Easy setup works flawlessly so far fastest router I ever had no issue with multiple devices connection excellent range

Easy to set up. Works well with xfinity. Very fast.

I upgraded to this cable modem from the standard modem/router provided by Suddenlink. It has been up for 2 days and I can say enough about the difference it has made. I did all the internal setups (and be forewarned that I have managed networks and network managers globally) and then called Suddenlink. It took about 20 minutes on the phone, mostly waiting on things to happen and then WOW! It was giving my Samsung Note 20 Ultra 750mbps on speed tests on Suddenlink's 1gb connection. It is reaching much farther with the Wifi covering spots that the old modem struggled with. It is hard to impress and ex CTO but I am impressed with this product.

It started out by activating the modem with the nighthawk app and not having to call Xfinity to do it. A few minutes later, I was getting the full speed that I was paying for. I've had it for about a month now and it's been rock solid in performance and availability. The coverage throughout the house is great.

Easy set up good signal its upstairs and even down still getting Gig speed om 5 GHz band

I was using the modem/router combo from my provider but there was to many blind spots and to much buffering. I upgraded to the NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem WiFi 6 Router Combo (CAX80) and now I am not having issues. Would recommend this to everyone.

Easy to set up and has taken care of all our signal deopping issues we had with Xfinity. We were also able to get rid of our booster as it handles the whole house no problem.

We purchased the CAX80 WiFi 6 Router combo for our new Xfinity service. The technician was able to connect it with ease since this is a certified router for Xfinity. Our speed was 1 gig a second from the get go with this great machine. The range is excellent as well and we have not required a mesh WiFi extender since its installation. Follow the simple instructions included with the device. VERY IMPORTANT: After the CAX80 is connected to the internet, you must use a device that is connected via WiFi, not wire/LAN to the router when performing the set up process. Once you open the wireless connection, you will be prompted to create your admin login and password. We have a vast array of smart devices in the house and the CAX80 handles them all with the greatest of ease. Excellent, powerful machine! Worth the investment!

So far I've been happy with the performance of both the router and modem. Setup was pretty easy with their phone app. On xfinity 800mbps plan I'm getting 1.2gbps wired and 300mbps wireless. I would recommend upgrading to net-gears extended warranty. Also this unit looks expensive until looking at buying a comparable modem & wifi. Then you're looking at spending 600 plus. This is a great value for the speed and features.

My old Netgear C6300 was a champ. We had been using that router consistently for online gaming, browsing, streaming, etc every day from 2015 until 2022 when suddenly it had to be restarted every other day because it just lost connection. Turns out, Xfinity stopped supporting the unit and was pushing for us to upgrade. So we went with this AX6000 model, which should do us again about 7 years (at least). It supports data speeds upwards of 2gb, which is well beyond what the cable market offers today. The Nighthawk app is slick, gives you plenty of relevant data and controls. This is a nice feature because the C6300 required you to go to the admin page on a browser to do any configurations. So far so good, no restarts and everything is blazing fast. Can actually watch Twitch streams at 1080 source and both play mp games on PS5 simultaneously with no issues.

the NETGEAR - Nighthawk AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 Router with DOCIS 3.1 Cable Modem - Black works great and I'm very please with my purchase. Thank you to the staff who recommended this item. Very knowledgeable!

This router/modem is definitely something else when it comes to speeds, setup difficulty, and the NightHawk Application user interface. It's super easy to set up, low profile (width wise, it's a bit bulky in the length and height profiles so placement takes some thought and planning when building a setup.) The speeds (even though it depends on your internet plan) definitely goes to show you get what you pay for. The user interface of the application is easy to understand (for you non-techy folks out there) and gives you all the control you need for internet including, but not limited to, device blocking, speed testing, analytics, and even guest wifi setup. This may all seem like its the 4th coolest thing you've ever seen, but let me tell ya. Restarting this router every now and again is a must if you want internet that actually works. (Not sure if thats just for XFinity customers or other network customers as well.) Which makes it tough when youre getting home from work, and just wanna spend the next 6.5 hours scrolling the internet, being the responsible adult you should be after clocking out. Other than that, this router might actually be the 4th coolest thing you've ever seen. I'd recommend it. To top all that off, if you're like me and you want your room as dark as humanly possible, there's a teeny tiny switch on the back of the router that turns off the front LED lights. To sum alllllll of this up, Good router, 8.72/10 would recommend. :)

This item has worked very well. The only troubleshooting that was necessary was changing certain security settings for comparability with devices.

Excellent coverage, excellent speed, bought this to avoid paying rental fees on an inferior piece of equipment from Xfinity. Not much more to be said, except full control via the phone app just adds to the value here. Well worth it.

Netgear leads the way when it comes to home internet. ln my opinion, the value you get from owning your own networking gear compared to your ISO provided and rented equipment is unmatched. Here you can set your security that you desire, configure and test which channels best work in your areas as well as set your desired preferences. Especially as a gamer and wanting your hardwired machines to get the best quality of service with the ability to set those QoS preferences. I have yet to have a problem with this combo. I haven’t even had to restart it. Set and forget.

The CAX80 Nighthawk is an outstanding product! It was very easy to install, instruction guide is well-written. Installed in the basement and have excellent coverage up to the 3rd level of the house (Total house size is 4400 sq feet including basement). Wireless stream to ROKU on 3rd level no problems...All wireless devices have outstanding connections, WiFi 6 works outstanding...Samsung S22 (wiFi 6 capability) cell phones have Ookla Speed Test results @ 460 Mbps download....Even non-WiFi 6 products such as Apple IPad's have great connectivity.....extremely impressed with this Cable Modem WiFi6 Router Combo! Highly Recommend!

So…. I went to the Best Buy store in search of a new modem/router combo. The store employee said, and I quote” this product is a beast! it got up one morning and ate all the other routers for breakfast “ and his words were true! The speed I’m getting from this router is insane! My old one was hitting at 200mhz and this one is blowing it out of the water! Signal strength is awesome too! My boys(who are heavy gamers) have no problems with lag or anything and their rooms are on the other side of the house from the router! Buy this if you dare! ;)

Very good router . Made a significant difference from our former router. Easy to install and when we hit an issue the support team was top notch in helping us to resolve !!
