This is my 3rd Netgear modem and I have not been disappointed. The Netgear Router I purchased at the same time is giving me issues. Tech support hasn't gotten back with me in several days now.
We had been using a combined modem/router for almost 4 years. It was not delivering what our provider was making available to us. The Nighthawk was recommended with a couple of others. We chose the Nighthawk, installed it and were up and running in no time. Also, it runs a lot cooler (less power)!
Another quality product from NETGEAR. So easy to set up and works like a dream, Like all their products. After 5 or 6 NETGEAR products I cannot imagine I would ever buy another brand of networking technology.
