Customer Ratings & Reviews

Upgraded my 8 year old Netgear modem/router to Netgear nighthawk CAX80.Much better speeds with several devices on WiFi network.Set up was pretty easy with phone app.Really noticed speed difference when watching Netflix or other TV apps ! 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!

We decided to upgrade from our WiFi 5 or ac nighthawk to this one because we wanted a wireless Sonos speaker system, a 4K smart tv, wireless security cameras, and 1 owlet (smart sock for babies) . We had/have 2 Apple watches 2 iPhone 1 laptop. We noticed WAY better Apple airplay 2 connectivity to the 4k tv. Everything seems to work well without bottlnecking lags or disconnecting issues.

I have owned Netgear products for a long time, and as my previous Netgear cable modem/router started to reach the end of life I decided to upgrade to this model. I have to admit, the sticker price almost scared me away, after pulling the trigger I am glad that I purchased it. I have Spectrum service and have been getting intermittent outages with the service, which Spectrum blamed on the previous router. I now get much higher speeds, almost to 300M, and when there was an issue recently I was able to get Spectrum to agree that the issue was most likely on their side. This modem has also enabled me to upgrade to gigabit service when it is in my area. Overall this is a good product, the only reasons I did not rate it a five star was 1) it has lost its settings a couple of times after I have rebooted it and I have had to set up the access points all over again, and 2), Netgear pushes you to use their Nighthawk app over the web interface which I find is more informative and flexible than the app. Other than that I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade their cable modem router,

This is a great modem/router combo for people who have lot of devices at your home. Its technology is solid and you will feel blazing speeds on no interruption on any of your devices. This is a 5 star modem and is a future-proof modem for future internet bandwidth as well once Gigabit becomes the norm. The only 1 star i am taking off is because this modem does not have QOS setting like previous netgear modems and the blufferbloat is really high in games. The blufferbloat is really high when multiple devices are in use and i was not able to fix it working with Netgear support (who were excellent staff) and did their very best to assist me to solve the issue. Therefore, if you are a gamer you may need an additional router with good anti-blufferbloat settings but for home and office use this is the best modem i have used and Netgear has excelled with this product. I only wished it had some of the features for QOS and other customization.

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 !!!

Good performance however this was not the easiest modem to hook up but I guess thats the case having to deal with your provider and software of the nighthawk. The range seemed to be improved over my old wi-fi modem system and theres no rental fee from the provider.

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.

This is a very fast modem. Very easy to install. I added Cat 8 cables as well. From the modem to the computer (via Cat 8): 900 Mbps. On a new HP laptop (I7, AX, wireless) 1.2 Gbps (sometimes). We did not believe that. Buy the extended warranty from both Netgear and BestBuy. Netgear doesn't support after three months without the warranty. (This is the only negative feature about the modem.) I wish Netgear would extend the free support to 2 years.

The Netgear CAX80 Combo router/wifi router is super simple to install and delivers a solid, fast internet connection. It's so much better than my old router. It was a worthwhile purchase. Thanks Netgear!

I've been netgear fan & customer for a long time, love how modem/routers are well design, let's not forget how customizable are the settings for these products, USB 3.0 slot for additional storage. The only downside is that the app lately encounters more challenges to set up; advise start with web, one is done, the app will run smoothly. Customer service and technical support are top notch caring and helping with any flaws. Keep the good work.

Fabulous range and easy to set up. I am running 1gb on one of my isp's. Combo has significantly decreased space on my desk

Everything is great- high speed, great range. The only down side is that modem keeps restarting itself when it lost to internet connection. The auto-restart modem on internet connection lost wasn't good because I would still use my local network without internet.

I have no idea why there are any negative reviews, this is the most superior gateway I have ever used and I have been upgrading every 2 years because I always to have the latest and greatest and for once I feel like I will not be upgrading in 2 years and this one is here to stay longer. The amount of features and the range this provides in a all in one unit makes this the most appealing gateway on the market. This is what I was hoping for and never once thought it should valued for any less than retail. This is worth every penny if you are looking in particular a great all in one one unit.

Description: Great modem/ router. Speeds are great, consistent and great wifi range. Been using only netgear products for years now and don't see myself changing anytime soon.

Fairly easy to setup, faster speeds and greater range than the Xfinity modem I no longer have to pay for.

Works well, I like the feature to control the devices (block/unblock) using the Nighthawk application on smart phone. I don't need to restart my router frequently as I used to do with my previous router due to connectivity issues. I would say it is priced little high.

Good setup, hopefully the last one I have to purchase for years to come. (Until the move to fiber in my area) The app has trouble connecting for a while, had to reset the nighthawk a few times even though it was working, it wasn’t showing up in the app. I would say if you have lots of smart devices in your home and the router is the same frequency change the name and password to the same name and password as your old router and your devices will jump right over like nothing ever changed. I have 22 connected devices and changing the name is way easier than converting 22 devices over. Good overall product, but it is quite pricey.

The Netgear Nighawk AX6000 WI-Fi 6 Router works great and is compatible with Comcast Xfinity. The setup was extremely easy and I was online in 10 minutes. It has great range and in fact it has better range than what I was experiencing with the Comcast Gateway. I am very happy with it so far.

Very happy with the speed and range. Easy to use and manage. Very good quality. So far no issues.
