We lost internet connection renting our cable company router and modem. They were not able to come to fix it for 5 days due to Thanksgiving holiday which meant a bad holiday for us do we went to a stunt and bought this modem router. It was easy to install and worked perfectly in only a few minutes, saving our holiday. Plus, now we can save money by not having to rent the equipment from the cable company
Comcast was not compatible with my old router as I think they updated their system. It was a netgear router and modem combo. I then had to go find another router and modem combo compatible with Comcast. My sister recommended the nighthawk!!! It has be nothing be impeccable!!!
Got the router 11/29.. had to call Netgear to set it up after being on the phone with my service provider for an hr.. Took another 1hr.. finally got sorted.. Then today 11/30 .. stopped working.. then started working and very slow even though my service provider offers 1G.. i am only receiving under 400.. called Netgear again.. on the phone another hour.. to be told I need to call my service provider again to update firmware.. my service provider stated they do not update Netgear routers only their own .. I called back Netgear to be told the same thing..but that they will try.. Nighthawk App does not work either.. because Firmware needs to be updated.. could not upload the error message on the APP because i got an error message that states I do not have permission to upload or my case is closed when clearly it states it is OPEN.. Netgear agent then said they will email and escalate the issue and i should wait 24 hours to hear back and if I do not .. I should call back.. Now this is the 3rd Netgear item that I have bought within the past 4 months with slow speed issue.. 2 of which i bought within the past week.. I work from home ... I need immediate assistance to FIX the issue! highly inconveniencing
