Overall I am happy with the router-cable modem saves me money with my provider. I do have a couple of issues streaming services and I am not sure if it is the provider or router. Will press Netflix on my remote and sometimes it does not connect to the service. I disconnect power to the modem wait a minute and power back on. This seems to correct the problem for a while and will have to do it in maybe a week or two again. If I did not have this problem I would have given it 5 stars. Hope this helps anyone looking at this unit
Ok this is what you need to know/ xfinity must set up the ip address to the modem because this is a duo set up . them net gear can will be able to connect to the router and register the account when setting it up. so call xfinity first give them the model number then the sinal will come and then call net gear and register the device. the nighthawk is really strong . havent had any signal problems. Plus I only use the wifi from xfinity on the strongest signal.
