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

Essy setup. Dual bands. Exactly what i needed to get away from my IP single band router and modem.

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. :)

So far, so good. Im really happy withe performance, but installation is somewhat of a nightmare. Customer service was a big help.

Easy connectivity for all our devices, reasonable speeds with our Xfinity. Range was okay in our 3300 SF house, and to our WIFI outdoor lawn sprinkler controller. Longevity was as expected, I guess - became completely unresponsive 3 months after the warranty expired. Although it was relatively trouble free, going with Motorola this time with a 2 year warranty.

I bought this router because I hated the idea of being cluttered with a modem and a router. I pay for a very fast connection with my internet provider and I wanted to take full advantage of it. I wanted the fastest speeds available via wi-fi. Also, everyone at home is on zoom calls throughout the day. So, I needed something that could handle all the devices. I did some research, bought it, and never looked back. This router has the absolute best range and the speeds do not differ whether they are wired or wireless. I’m serious. I’ve ran multiple speed-tests and they are CONSISTENTLY the same. You clicked on this item for a reason. Do yourself a favor and just buy it. You won’t regret it.

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

Set up was super quick. Followed the app and the instructions, was back online in under 10 minutes and that includes the xfinity time. Love the app and speeds are true to what I’m paying for!

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! ;)

This Router was easy to setup, fast and good quality

I'm not to well versed in technology for WiFi Routers/Modem's but I did my research and I figured that this was the best of both worlds just so you don't have to buy 2 separate things. Essentially it's like Xfinity's router/modem combo except you don't have to pay a monthly bill for that. I am paying 1 GIG download cable for Xfinity and I'm getting 600 down and 40 up with my WiFi 6 laptop. Some issues that I did run into was that Xfinity could not verify that this was a compatible router/modem on their website even with the installer personally talking to them. They suggested that I had to return this and get another but I didn't believe it because I read reviews to this, just like you, seeing that people had this with Xfinity and it was working. So I just followed the instructions on the paper to set up with Netgear and I was able to connect it myself without having to talk to any reps withing 15 minutes. A weird thing that I encountered while having this for a month or so now is that my 5 Ghz channel kicked me off the network only on my phone. I entered the password that I put and it said incorrect and would not let me reconnect for a day or so. Other devices were connected so I don't know why it happened but I'm guessing it was maybe a bug. Other than that though, nothing out of the blue has happened, as far as I can tell. Hope this helps!

So far I love it. Real easy set up and no issues connecting it to my devices.

I purchased this cable modem router to replace an older cable modem router I have been using for 5 years. This Netgear Nighthawk cable modem router (CAX80) is simply amazing. The instructions were simple to follow and I used the recommended Netgear App and Xfinity App to set it up. I was able to get setup in less than 15 minutes without having to call Xfinity support to set up my new router. I’m enjoying the netgear app testing my speeds, and managing my new cable modem router. The basic features of the app are helpful in letting me monitor my home internet. I’m very happy with the speeds I am getting from this router and the Wi-Fi 6 support. Thanks Netgear for making a great product!

Title: Love the space saving design! Description: This design is much better than the last Nighthawk I had. It's space saving and works perfect! Glad I stuck with Netgear again.

It’s too soon to really know it it’s working great so far with good speed easy set up with Comcast and the included app for set up item is too pricey but is new to market but a modem and router should be much less price.

I was renting the latest modem/router from Xfinity. Out of nowhere my cameras and doorbell lost connection. After multiple hours with support there was no solution to reconnect the cameras back on the 2.4. I purchased the nighthawk and everything reconnected without issues as I can select 2.4 or 5g on the nighthawk. Highly recommend this as a solution for anybody currently renting or having camera connectivity issues.

The modem itself works great. We upgraded to this modem for the Smart Parental Control add on feature (costs extra, modem only provides the possibility of using the feature). It's been giving us trouble. Not working like we expected and getting support from NETGEAR has been a hassle.

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.

The install was extremely easy. The speed is fantastic, but the price of the unit could be lower. I would recommend this unit to anyone. I really love the performance.

Great accompanying app and ease of use. Set up was a breeze and the app was super intuitive and user friendly. Speeds and coverage are good, but my place is pretty small, so YMMV. Only gripe is that you only get a trial of Netgear Armor when other companies like ASUS give you free lifetime protection. Infuriating that this modem is my only DOCSIS 3.1 option besides the ISP-provided one from Optimum.
