Buyer Beware
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked okay for almost 2 years and then died during a power outage (while plugged into a surge protector). Wifi range is not great. I live in a 2 bedroom townhouse ~1200 sqft and have the modem upstairs in my home office since I began working remotely. The wifi downstairs is awful. Glad I purchased the geek squad replacement warranty however not sure if I want another one.

Overpriced
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth the price. I had Comcast out twice and my signal is amazing. This thing drops signal regularly and just fluctuates far too much. I wish I didn’t get rid of my orbi. I can not recommend this.

Failed Unit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This router/modem is unusable. When there is a power outage it reboots and renames the wifi network. As the result none of my cameras smart lights laptops or tablets can reconnect. I spent over 2 hours on the phone with Netgear. They tried but no results. What's crazy is this is the 2nd one that failed. I don't recommend this router/modem.

Netgear uses extortion to "support" their hardware
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pay attention to the warranty (or lack thereof). You get 1 year hardware, and 90 days of "support". However if between 91 days and 1 year your hardware fails (mine failed at 94 days), they would not honor the warranty unless I paid for an additional support plan.

Do not purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Modem is garbage. My internet services were perfect with the Xfinity XB7 modem and decided to save money from rental fees. Nothing but troubles with this modem. Netgear in general is garbage. Will not buy from them again. I’m an experienced high speed internet tech for 25 years. HFC

Died After 48 Hours
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Performance, but it literally died after 48 hours of use. It's going back to the store and I'll find a different brand as I have lost faith in Netgear.

Would not recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This doesn’t extend to the whole house.

Buyer Beware!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unreliable. Total garbage and not ready for public release. There are so many issues I don't even know where to begin. I have been dealing with Netgear Tech support since the day I bought this thing and they have even sent me a replacement that has the same issues. Buyer beware!

Not Express VPN compatible
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Advertised as having VPN support but fails to mention that you are unable to pick a VPN of your own choice like the Express VPN that I wanted to install. On top of the hours long wait on hold for support I am totally done with Netgear as I also did not notice any improvement over the old 1900 Nighthawk I replaced this with either. Back it goes for a credit towards another brand.

Did not work for my house
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this combo modem/wifi, which did not work for my house. I have older models of Nest cameras, and they kept going offline every minute. At first, I thought it was the cameras, but when I completely changed the modem, it fixed the problem. I purchased the modem only and wifi mesh from ASUS ZEN.

DON'T BUY THIS JUNK, TRUST ME.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.GARBAGE. Completely dead and less than 1 year old. The Nighthawk App is a joke and won't connect. For $499, this unit was a complete waste of money. I will NOT be buying another unit, and critically lost a days worth of teams meetings due to its complete failure. I relied on this for a business, not anymore.

Horrible device
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this router in April of 2021, last night it stopped working. Powers on but will not connect to internet. Reached out to Netgear and Bestbuy and was told the manufacturer warranty is for one year only. So $460 of my hard earned money down the drain.

Waste of time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.STAY AWAY! As someone who USED to prefer using only NETGEAR products, I am disappointed with this 400 dollar paperweight. after wasting 4 hours messing with it, it drops all connections every 15 minutes, and has to be hard reset. Go to net gears support forums for this and see for yourself, this is a common problem.
