Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you don't want to rent a cable modem from your provider and like having a separate router this will get the job done. I was surprised at Netgear's quality on this I always used to buy the surfboard modems but this one works great right out of the box. I was even able to register it with Xfinity through their website rather than having to call. Best part about The purchase for me was that I had an older modem that only did DOCIS 3.0 so upgrading to a 3.1 modem actually gave me the speeds I'm paying for which is between 400 and 500 down I do wish it was a bit less expensive but worth it for a trouble free device.

Solid easy setup modem, you should be able to install it yourself if you have basic tech skills. I switched from Fios to Comcast, saving almost 50 bucks a month for similar download speeds. The upload speeds aren't as fast but that doesn't mean too much for the average home user.

The price was great, the new speeds from upgrading were even better. Great entry point for my Mediascam internet. If you currently rent your modem from your ISP and thinking about saving a little money and looking for a great upgrade too buy this bad boy!

We were having slow internet Had Comcast come out and although some was a wiring issue, the modem we had was shot. I did my research and decided on this modem. Now getting speeds of 250+ MB’s/sec. This does not have Wi-Fi attached so you need a separate router with WiFi if that’s your goal. Easy to set up too

I chose another products first and tried it out. Had multiple installation and setup issues. Talked with the Cox tech support and they recommended this manufacturer and model. Setup was easy and performs as advertised. Very happy with this selection, wish it was my first option I chose.

This cable modem is outstanding! I highly recommend it. It was easy to set up and my Internet speed has increased significantly! I definitely notice a big difference in performance since replacing my old cable modem with this one!

I bought this modem because i have multiple people streaming off of one internet line. The docsis 3.1 has far more lanes of traffic then my previous modem. We have far less time buffering. Happy with the purchase and all of my previous netgear networking hardware has lasted years. Im sure this will be the same.

This Modem is compatible with Spectrum. Easy install and Future ready. Gets Hot so install in a ventilated space.

We needed a replacement modem for our Cox internet. After doing some research, I knew we needed a DOCSIS 3.1. This was reasonable, works with our Google mesh wifi, and is easy to set-up. If you have a lot of devices in your home, I would recommend this modem.

I recently upgraded my Comcast Internet to 1GB. They told me I had to upgrade my older DOCSIS 3.0 modem with a 3.1 modem. This one worked well. They did have an online activation option that was supposed to just work without having to contact support, but I ended up having to contact support to put the MAC address of the modem on my account. After that, everything worked great. I'm getting 700-800MBps on my speed tests now. Next upgrade will be my router. I had a separate router and wanted to replace devices individually, so I didn't buy the bundled unit. I also do not have service that could go higher than 1GB, or a home network that would support that, so it seemed silly to purchase the more expensive products now for something I couldn't use.

This Netgear-Nighthawk Cable modem replaced my 3 yr old ARRIS - SURFboard 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem - after experiencing intermittent drops in service for last 5 months and having ruling out my ISP and router as not being the cause. Upon installing this new modem upon recommendation from Astound ISP technician the problem has ceased and now have returned to stable internet. Speed is same as before and the unit is sleek and has small foot print on my entertainment furniture. Very quiet and light is not distracting and due angled face not pointing at you if in a highly visible area like mine is. This works w/ many ISPs but best to confirm w/ your before installing to avoid returns. My max speed is 1 GB so this one fits the bill as it is 1GB rated and delivers as promised.

This new DOCSIS modem was very easy to setup and is much faster than my old unit that I replaced. The only thing to be aware of is that it takes almost 30 minutes before Comcast will see/recognize the modem on their network so that it will allow internet access.

I wasn’t sure if it was worth buying a modem or keeping my rented one from Comcast. OMG IT IS SO WORTH IT! My internet is way more reliable and now that Comcast is DOCSIS 3.1 we are at top speed. I live it a 1,900 sq ft 2 story home and this modem works great in every corner of the house and in the backyard,

Very easy to install and connect with. Matches up perfectly with our existing ORBI router (base and one repeater). Purchased so we could upgrade our internet speed and so far so good. WOULD use NETGEAR again before switching to different brand.

I bought this to go along with gigabit internet service. I was not disappointed at all in months I have had it so far. I think I have restarted it one time in that period and the thing is still working strong. I would recommend this to anyone with top tier internet looking to avoid a month hardware fee.

I needed a replacement that worked with Comcast internet to save me the monthly rental fee. This product is capable of speeds beyond my internet package. It’s blazing fast! Works better than the rental product, plus it’s pays for itself in a year. It will be a relavent product for at least five more years.

10x better than that crap the internet company is gonna try and charge you monthly fees for. Spend the money, have your own. It paid for itself in the 1st year of having it from not having to pay the fees from the internet company. Totally worth it.

It's compatible with my ISP's connectivity standards and allows for the maximum speed possible

Great modem and router combo. Easy to set up and way fast that Spectrum issued modem and router.

Recently upgraded to 1Gbps internet; makes a HUGE difference, and this modem I haven't had to restart even once since the change took place, and that was over a month ago. Very fast. The only thing I would have liked to see is more Ethernet ports, but I run a separate router to it, so that works just fine.
