This router works perfect for our cable Internet with Windstream and helped increase the range of the Wi-Fi. I now have 300 Mbps home Internet service!
Upon doing a lot of research between other cable modem/router combos, I finally decided the Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 was the best selection to fit my needs. I live in a home that is 1850 square ft and the wireless coverage reaches in all areas of the entire house with no problem as I performed multiple speed tests and the results were very consistent throughout. The setup through the router setup management interface was seamless and very user friendly. I was able to set up my 2.4Ghz, 5 GHz, and guest wireless networks in 3 minutes. I also like the fact that you can set parental controls to manage usage time and block inappropriate websites. The Netgear ReadyShare Vault is extremely handy for me so that I can share movies, pictures, and files across the network. Overall, I would highly recommend this product!
Replaced my old netgear modem after 7 years for this combo modem router. I stuck with Netgear because out previous unit lasted quite long. This model was convenient by also having an internal router so I had no need for the extra box and wires. Very easy to use and set up as I am not too savvy. Upload speed seems to lag a little bit but I believe that issue is due to our plan from Xfinity.
I bought this devise for the readyshare with USB. This is not supported by my Windows 10 device. Upon further review few TVs support DLNA now for instance Visio SmartCast will not. Plex does work but this model of Netgear does not support Plex Server run on the router like some of the other models.
