Have connectivity and speed issues with provider modem/router. Was told this was the best one available for my needs. They were spot on! Plus I swear my speed has increased by 10-15%.
The WiFi range is just “okay”. I purchased this modem/router because frankly xfinity modems are terrible and I need something with reliable connection and range. First off, the price is high, but for quality your willing to spend more. Second, it seems almost as reliable as the xfinity, I literally have to “reset or re-signal” this modem daily. If more than five things (iPhones, laptops, video games) are all using internet at the same time then bandwidth is terrible, and very slow.

Hi Jeremy Durbin,
Wireless routers, access points, and adapters send and receive radio wave signals through antennas. To optimize your wireless range, we suggest checking this resource: https://kb.netgear.com/1114/Improving-wireless-range-Overview

This is a wonderful product! It had been about 5 years since I last upgraded my wifi setup, so the change was much needed. The Nighthawk was SUPER easy to set up, and I was connecting all of my devices to the network within half an hour! I love that you can control everything from the app, making everything super accessible! The app is also super easy to use, very user friendly for my mom! The connection and speed of internet is great, and I can use multiple devices for streaming, gaming, and zoom. I am super happy with my purchase and the price point. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for more Netgear products in the future.
Having issues with my old modem-router and my daughter was getting stressed out doing her school work online. When the Nighthawk modem showed up she was super excited, not because her school work, but because her Playstation would be so fast. Big time dad points for me.
I needed to finally get myself out from under the cable companies leasing charge so I did and now I save money and have amazing service!! It’s perfect for my flat...
