    Best Router AND Modem I've ever owned. After years of struggling with slow speeds and dropouts, not to mention rental fees, from my internet provider, those issues are all gone now. Feels amazing. Another thing to note is that the Armor feature is fantastic, the fact that it can block spam or harmful popups WHILE you're browsing is awesome, I can browse worry free and then Armor will let me know they blocked something and from what device. This includes all devices, even phones, that are connected to your WiFi. I love this thing, I never thought I'd invest in my own modem but I'm glad I did.

    What a difference a cable modem upgrade makes! I am now able to take full advantage of my broadband speed without having to rent a router from Xfinity! It pays for itself!

    This DOCIIS 3.1 modem / router wifi 6 provides much improvement over DOCIIS 3.0. I implement my mesh wifi 6 routers with this Netgear modem with the result of fast and seamless coverage throughout my two story house. Unfortunately it is higher cost.

    I am replacing old NetGear with this one for xfinity service. It works great and setup MOCA with this router is easy ( you will need MOCA Adapter to do the setup). The speed is amazing also and do not need extender for 3,800 sq ft 3 floor house. Thank You !!!

Very happy with Nighthawk CAX80! A little expensive,but worth it.

    I had gotten this after i tried using a Motorola model. The Motorola model kept dropping signal and not working properly so I might have gotten a dud. I decided to just dish out an extra $70 or so and got this model. I’m getting 2x speeds and finally my internet is not dropping and I’m not bottlenecked for my speeds!

    Even though my pocketbook said this was to high for me, I took a gamble because of other netgear products i purchased and how well they performed along with the longevity, plus this unit is a cable modem router all in 1 unit. 2 1/2 years later i still have no complaints and glad I took the gamble. It still is capable of more than its used for in my home, but that is because isp's in my area are still slow at catching up..nighthawk app makes setups smooth sailing too

    Okay. Still using our service provider, but this Nighthawk 6000 is a major upgrade in modem/router compared to rental unit. Install super simple; speed excellent; range quite improved. We have 20+ devices on our home network including three outside cameras. This modem/router is essential equipment. Peace of mind....priceless. Could not be happier. And it pays for itself in months.

    Great Combo Unit for Spectrum Customers

    Super simple setup for Spectrum customers. It absolutely blows their supplied hardware out of the water which isn't an easy task as on the gigabit plan they work pretty well. I mostly was looking for a minimalist solution but device surprised me with much better upload and lower operating temperatures under heavy constant load. My only complaint is the AC power brick is quite large and the way it plugs in blocks a few ports on my battery backup. I won't knock a star for that as it seems to be a thing with most all of these units regardless of SKU or vendor. All in all I ended up with only one invasive plug in as opposed to the two I was getting from my supplied Spectrum Modem and Router. I also do not recommend the armor software in the app. It is incredibly aggressive and told me that my LG C2 has almost 200 vulnerabilities which I found hilarious. Even if that is true there is nothing I can do about that. I suppose if you like to know every gap you have it is a useful tool. To be clear it didn't impede any traffic or use of any device properly just the app reports a ton and I would deem it "fearware". Just set your security good and enjoy surfing, streaming and downloading at insane speeds. Also Wifi6 soon!!!

    Great things come to those who are patient. This is great for cutting the cord. Does not support home phone service but who needs those anyway. Worked great with Comcast and the initial setup was a breeze. Future proof your internet and stream at lightning fast speeds. If your devices are older you may need to upgrade but this does support older versions just not as fast.

    This is a fantastic router modem combo, it has both 2.4 and 5G settings. It’s easy to login to it and easy to configure, which I would always suggest doing. It has setting to set speed priorities for steaming and gaming. Good by for anyone that wants a device able to work 10 plus devices at a time, with good internet speeds this device is capable and can handle the work load.

    The first one I purchased had an issue where it would randomly rebot. I took it back and had it replaced and the new one is awesome.It’s not cheap but if you want wifi 6 and and great coverage its hard to beat.

    Easy set up...kind of. They want you to use the app but it was glitchy. If you know anything about routers it's not that hard. It is fast but the range is not near as good as I'd hoped for. I have a 2500 sqft home and the router is in the garage. It may be interference from building material, however, my nighthawk, X4S covered the whole house.

    Great modem/router combo. Extremely fast speeds reduced the need for extenders since coverage/range is great.
