this model seems to have issues with connectivity. devices that are connected by wifi will still be connected to the wifi but lose internet even though cable status is good. devices that are connected to the ethernet port will have no issues. i have to end up power cycling the modem so the wifi devices can connect to the internet even though the devices never lost their wifi connection
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Netgear Nighthawk is exactly what I wanted and exactly what I got. I was cautioned that it was difficult to install. Not true and I am not high tech! The only suggestion I have is that to make sure you have the Netgear Ap installed on you mobile BEFORE you begin. It just slows down installation otherwise. Everything came right on line without glitches.
The Nighthawk cable modem router that I purchased was easy to set up following instructions that were given. Would definitely purchase again as well as recommend to my friends.
