I recently switched to a different internet provider and I chose to get this combined cable modem router. This device provided the optimal range coverage for my house. I have had no problems with it. The price was affordable too. I would highly recommend this. This has been a great purchase.
I got this to replace a Comcast router I was renting. Saves money and works great. Very easy to setup on laptop or phone, just download the nighthawk app and call Comcast to do an automated activation. The range and speed on this outperformed Comcast in every way. My only regret is I didn’t buy sooner.
I needed a modem or router to replace my old modem and router. I’ve loved the options and controls with the netgear router I’ve had to this point. I’ve been able to name my connected devices on the netgear app, turn them off and on and even do a wifi speed test from within the app. It was a plus that this router was a combination modem and router. I was also able to use QOS on the other to prioritize my devices on the other. This one doesn’t have the same capabilities. Netgear tells me this product doesn’t support speed tests in the app, I CANT change the device names in the app so I know which is legitimately connected and even changing the names of the devices on the web page for this product doesn’t carry over to the app itself. Why advertise the netgear app if you can’t use the functionalities of it? This modem router wasn’t ready to be released yet. Finish setting up all functionalities before you release a product. Not impressed on this one! Even thinking of hooking up my old modem and router and returning this one.
