NETGEARNighthawk Modem Router Combo C7000-Compatible with Cable Providers Including Xfinity by Comcast, Spectrum, Cox,Plans Up to 800Mbps | AC1900 WiFi Speed | DOCSIS 3.0

So many reviews and ratings on here all over the place, had me very skeptical reading for hours and looking at different versions/brands and options etc. Very overwhelming but being most familiar with Netgear, the features, and this looking the best in my opinion of all the Modem/Routers to choose from online within $200... I took the chance knowing in general most liked their Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Modem/Router. Mine came new as expected, looks amazing, set up easy(set up with provider seemless, had to call them, very quick and easy), and the coverage is the best range and most solid connection I've ever had! Router settings online are a breeze and no matter whether using our Samsung S7 phones for any HD wifi content, or Samsung 4K Netflix/YouTube, or PS4 Pro gaming... Including any combination of all at once with our consumer higher tier 10mb per sec internet, no issues. It's fast, noticeably quick, zero lag - not even once with many hours online gaming so far into it(PC & PS4 Pro), and I'm as happy as one could be. To top it off, I'm now saving $12mo with my Internet Provider since I have my own which is another main factor.The often and very annoying lags, interuptions, disconnects, and poor loading times are all gone as if they never existed. I had a great gaming-class Netgear Router before which had no issues but to pair with the Provider Modem was very awful. While it was a newer modem and in general wasn't too shabby, all the provider can do is keep replacing and replacing with the same garbage but it is what it is - And this AC1900 is the best experience and reliability I've ever had. Glad I took the risk and came out a winner on this!

This is going to be a long read so be prepared. I gave it 5 stars because I still like Netgear products but over the years the tech support out source in India is pretty sad.When I bought this on the 16th, it arrived a day after, I opened the package and found that there was no ethernet cable nor manual which I found kind of odd. Then after unboxing and hooking it up, I found out that the default password for the device is changed and I had to call up Netgear asking them.They said all of there newly products come with a cable and a manual.I said ok. Then I ordered a brand new 5TB Seagate for a brand new C7000, I plugged it in to the USB port on the back of the C7000 and the routerand it did not see it at all, in fact there was no power LED on at all, then I tried a 64Gig thumb drive and a 128Gig thumb driver and those didn't work.I called up and talked to the infamous hard to understand India so called expert tech and said well the device may not be supported, I replied, well, I am getting no power to any of my devices. No power indicator LED. Told me to return the device for a replacement, so as of now Amazon and there wonderful support on returns and working to get things right I am very good about that and give them a 5 star for that.I do not blame Amazon for this, more so the where it came from.To think both are cutting edge seems to me that they should work together,On a bright side, this thing is a beast. 24x8 and a Spectrum customer with a 100/5 package, it packs a punch, even in peak hours a see well above 100mbits.I have had several streams, gaming, downloads etc all running, and no lag . It is a amazing device.To all thats replacing this, be sure to give your cable provider the CMC MAC address. A side note.I'll be sure to update this review as soon as I get my new one.Thanks for reading.Update, got my new device, and all USB devices are working, including the 5TB HD, so I now think that old one was tampered with.After a 3rd time now, turns out the old firmware was faulty. I was having issues like others on here until Netgear sent me a new one with the new firmware. No I am not having those problems.Amazon needs to be aware that, or at least I think, that their shipping out these units with old firmware.So I advise you to contact Netgear, they can't upgrade the firmware, nor the ISP, depending on their policy. :)

This is fantastic. it worked really fast out of the box and setup was easy. Ive had zero issues with it since getting it.

After spending years with Verizon and tolerating endless rate hikes, the Rubicon was finally crossed when my bill went over $200 even with a single set top DVR for the whole house. I decided to switch to Comcast Xfinity using a promotion for new customers. Naturally, I did not want to pay a ridiculous modem rent of $10/month (recovered in less than a year for the top-of-the-line modem or in less than two years even with the purchase of the most sophisticated hybrid modem/router device). While I had my natural reservations about hybrid devices, the desire to have a single, 802.11ac-capable box dominated, and I purchased NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 just days prior to my Xfinity installation.Naturally, I decided to pre-configure the router to have everything up and running. Besides setting up the WiFi networks (2.4 and 5 GHz) I had to set up fixed IP addresses for the home NAS and my VOIP OBI 202 SIP telephony box (PhonePower is the provider), and also configure port forwarding to make incoming/outgoing VOIP calls. To summarize, nothing too special, it's a relatively straightforward and typical configuration, but I HAD TO CONFIGURE SOMETHING.And that ruined all the experience. One reviewer has already noted that the device UI was slow, but I did not pay attention, not expecting it to be that SLOW! In reality when I started setting up port forwarding rules it took the device a good MINUTE to save a single rule and return to the port forwarding screen. I even thought that it got a system error and got stuck while waiting...Understanding that with this level of responsiveness I will simply crush it with a hammer before completing the setup, I reset the device, put it back in the box and initiated a return. I didn't have a chance to try its WiFi capabilities, but I simply could not tolerate NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 while having an "old" ASUS AC-68U router at home! The ASUS has a great UI (while the Netgear has a mediocre one) and its response time is almost immediate. As far as the "old" ASUS also supports 802.11ac and does it perfectly, supporting a couple dozen wireless and a number of wired devices without any problems for weeks. And ASUS is still releasing firmware updates for it...As a result, I ended up with purchasing a top-of-the-line Arris modem for Comcast (around $110) and using the ASUS AC-68U as a router. The combo works great after more than a month, and with Xfinity Blast Internet I am steadily getting speedtest.net measurements above 200 Mbps for downloads and around 12 Mbps for uploads (limited by Comcast).To summarize, this is my advice: If you have to get a modem for Comcast Xfinity or other such provider, just purchase the top-of-the-line Arris Surfboard for around $100 and use a separate 802.11ac-compatible router from a trusted, reliable brand like ASUS. Stay away from junk Negear UI, and from combo devices in general...
