Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a good modem combo but if your internet provider is Xfinity they will block your signal and you can’t experience the potential of this device.

Upgraded from an Arris Surfboard. The Arris kept disconnecting a wired device. This Nighthawk was expensive but is rock solid!

No probs. So far and big improvements on my network but im coming from a wifi 4 N router so its only natural that i give 5star not experiencing The wifi 5 AC. I usually skip a generation before upgrading

Junk it looses connection all the time. Save your money and buy better

Excellent product, very happy with my purchase. Highly recommend.

works as advertised. Set up was Ok, not quite as easy as they said. Need a "smart phone" for set up , otherwise almost impossible to do.

Easy to install and has improved our internet experience.

Great specs but not much better than WiFi 5 models. You don't get the advertised WPA3 security protocol and it seems that every 2 months you have to power off completely to get it back to normal. You also have to shed another 50.00 for extended warranty . For this product I highly recommend it unless your happy to have a useless brick at the end of one year.

a bit laggy when you go to 2nd floor, but overall connection is good

Hated the price but worth every dollar. I can stream and do avid gaming without my other family members being effected in the household.

I had a 3 year old Netgear CM1000 modem and an ASUS AC3100 router. I was getting pretty decent speeds with my Cox gigablast - 950 or so wired and 400ish on 5G but I thought I should be getting more since I was paying for 1000. This modem/router looked like it could accomplish that. It didn’t. I actually got slower speeds. And because of the setup I have I had to place it close to my LG SN11nrg sound bar and that messed up the connection to the rear speakers (known issue). I’m returning this. Already reverted back to my old setup and enjoying the speeds that I once thought were slow along with Dolby Atmos surround sound. On the plus side I was very pleasantly surprised with Cox cable’s customer service. They were able to get this modem online quickly and also helped me revert back to my old one quickly as well. PS: The setup was incredibly simple so any reviews saying otherwise must be written by people who are technically challenged or had a bad experience with their cable company.

Bought this to replace my Comcast modem. If you a gamer and or perhaps have more than 10 devices simutaniously running, then this is a must have.

Very good product plus the features look very nice in my man cave.

Didnt even last 6 months. Im pretty upset that a unit that costs so much didnt even last 1 year. I would not recommend this product. It just died without warning at 2am and the app was saying its the coax cable. So i dug out my older unit that we ran for several years and it too is a netgear combo modem/router and it still works. Quality has gone way downhill from previous models. Really disappointed. Was working fine, then all lights went out except power indicator. Tried unplugging to reset, tried factory reset, doesn't do anything. Total crap. It was fine for the last 5 months, but now just a $500 paperweight. Range was mediocre at best in our small 2 story 960 sq ft house, had to use a range extender to get the signal to the master bedroom upstairs. Set up was so so. Overall would def NOT recommend for price point for lifespan. Never pushed full speeds no matter what specifications were set too. Just crap.

My old modem/router items just weren't cutting it any more. No my WiFi, especially, is better.

Purchased modem to replace rental from Xfinity. I have 600 Mb account and it works fine. Easy to install and connect.

Wi-Fi network Nighthawk better than what I expected!!

I want to give a good review, but this thing died on me in month 14, past the warranty. And I confirmed it’s dead, it’s not the service provider. Can’t even log into it with a direct cable. When I first got it, it blocked my company VPN and it actually required the NETGEAR helpful to write me my own beta firmware update to resolve. That took two months, but kudos to them for figuring it out. But beyond the warranty and free support periods all I have now is an expensive brick. I hope this doesn’t happen to you. It worked great before it broke.

I never realized how the nighthawk has a combination that's worth purchasing it.

I had a different modem that I had purchased and it needed restarted every day. Netgear has made a quality product that dishes speed to my needy household of users. Highly recommend.
