I upgraded to the Nighthawk AC1900 and noticed how better my internet strength and speed became. It was important to get a router / modem that I could get over 600 mbps internet as well as the signal I needed to reach my office/computer in my basement. I work from home and need a strong signal to reach my basement for ongoing meetings and zoom calls. I have been really impressed by the Nighthawk and i highly recommend to anyone looking for a change.
Easy setup, good value and works with our cable provider (Cox) to eliminate a monthly modem charge. Its not real powerful but for a small house or area it's adequate. We get 2 networks one stronger and one weaker but considerably faster with our Cox subscription.
The item works great, the ability to use it as a router and a modem let's you avoid having a bunch if different items taking up shelf space. The range if the wifi is good and covers the entire house. (2400sqft)
