Dropping Internet connection
on June 16, 2021

Router consistently drops both direct connect and wireless internet connection. Need to constantly unplug unit and to reestablish a connection. Seems wireless signal is weak. The unit fails to stay connected to net gear WiFi extender in another room about 60 feet away. Light on extender shows red indicating weak signal
Router continues to disconnect from internet both on my desk top direct wire and wireless devices. Appear Signal is weak because it fails to connect to my net gear WiFi extender located on same floor about 60 feet away in another room. Mobil devices need to reconnect to router frequently.
It works pretty well with whatever router you connect it with and setup was simple and straight forward. And with the ethernet port i was able to setup wake on lan for my desktop
Bought this piece of equipment to use with my Xfinity service. The instructions and the accompanying Netgear app made setup painless with the tradition login/browser view available for more advanced users. No issues thus far!
The cable modem router is good. The Nighthawk install application you force people to use leaves much to be desired. It gets confused and leaves the install in a half finished state. I used your standard interface to the cable modem router via a connected device to clean up and finish the install.
