I’ve had a Netgear63 modem that lasted me over 10yrs! Do I knew I had to get another Netgear and this one is even better! There wasn’t an app for my last one because it was old. With the nighthawk, I love that I can check who/ what is logged into my wifi and allow/ debt access. I’m not sure if it keeps the blocked devices forever cause I blocked one to check and it disappeared so not sure what device that was and if it deleted for good. .The only feature I wish it had was to allow me to change the name of the device rather than me having to log into Netgear genie on my laptop. I have another wifi check app and I can assign the device. But overall, i would purchase again as well as recommend.
I bought this to replace my modem and wifi combo device and I love it. It supports all my devices and doesn't lose speed or have any lag. Would recommend
The AC1900 Nighthawk was super easy to set up using both the Netgear app and my internet provider’s app to activate the new device. Great range within the house and significantly faster download speeds. Also appreciate the modem/router combo eliminating the need for two separate devices cluttering the desktop.
The installation instructions were fairly easy to follow. The only problem I encountered was finding the install new device button on the xfinity site. Once I located that everything worked just as laid out in the instructions. Everything has worked just fine since installation.
It's a great router/modem when it wants to work. Do your research before purchasing this product. This device does have issues with the modem which leads to the internet connection being dropped constantly. I had a Xfinity technician come out to my house due to this issue and he also stated it was the router.
