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

    Great range! Mostly easy to set up. Signal strength is solid despite living in a 4 bedroom. Just to cover the whole house, we got the range extender designed for this modem router but it wasn't necessary.

    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.

    Honestly this is a pretty great router/modem. Everything from the setup to using the app is very quick and easy, plus it's a big upgrade from what I had before. Only downside is it's a bit pricey but well worth it in my opinion

    Amazing! If you’re thinking about the Arris over this, go with this! I tried the Arris Surfboard, after a week it stopped working and I have to reset the entire modem including settings and my account. It’s a known bug and they haven’t fixed it. This worked out of the box, easy setup and runs like a dream. No bugs, no errors, consistent fast speeds all day.

    I read another customer's review (they really knew what they were talking about) when I was deciding to purchase a modem of my own instead of paying Xfinity's Monthly Rental. I am so glad I went with this Netgear Product. My ENTIRE household is using this bad boy! I am so impressed at the speed and strength of this modem. I use DirectTV Stream for ALL 6 TVs, I work from home so I am constantly online, my kids play on their devices plus stream using both upload speeds for live video calls with music and download speeds. My whole house is also running as a Smart home with wireless Apps, etc. I'm not sure if this is helpful to anyone, but I figured I'd try and give a real life (Non-tech wiz) picture of what we use this level of modem for. Worth every penny!

    other than cox service this modem router combo has been great i get stronger signal all inside and outside the house consistently run 450+ mbps 2.4hz wifi even tho i have gigablast most of the time i don't get that running speed tests ps4 has been running wired in 600 mbps much better than the panoramic used garbage they tried to pawn off on me. Haven't had any over heating issues or haven't had to restart it yet, it was worth the investment

    Upgraded to this beast three weeks ago and I am very pleased. My gig contract is pushing 930 and I am really happy. Moreover the improved security checking the entire network is amazing. This is my third Netgear router in thirteen years. This combo is the best yet.

    This combo is a little pricy, but it makes up for it in the fast internet and quality that it provides. I also love the Nighthawk app. It allows me to see all of my devices that are currently connected as well as being able to test my internet speed among other useful features.

    Netgear Nighthawk Cable Modem CAX80 is fast and a nice way to combine wifi 6 and a cable modem in one. I have Gig service from spectrum and consistently get above advertise (yes I know that's the service provider). Using link aggregation to my other switch. OpenVPN server work well however I'd prefer if net offer different VPN protocols such as IPSec. It is pricey but you get the latest cable broadband technology.

    Modem/Router kept dropping my internet connection. For as much as this cost and with technology the way it is, this shouldn’t have happened. Had this set up with a TP-Link Wi-Fi extender and it still dropped connection. Only a 2100 sq ft home so this should have been sufficient. After reading multiple reviews and forums, I see that this is an issue with this particular modem/router. Took it back and hooked up my old Netgear and it works flawlessly without dropping connection. Only reason I tried for the new one was for the Wi-Fi 6 capability and advertised extended range. Save your money til they figure this model out.

    This thing is a monster (size). Its the first time owning a Nighthawk product and wanted something to replace an 8 year old modem and router. The entire setup process can be done from the iOS app from your iPhone or iPad. I wouldnt say it was the easiest network setup I’ve done in the past but eventually got it working. handles 1GB internet speed very well and the range is very good in a two story condo.
