    NETGEAR - Nighthawk - Fast and easy to set-up!

    After owning a Motorola Modem/router for over 12 years, It was time for an up-grade. I purchased this NETGEAR - Nighthawk AX2700 Router with 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem at the recommendation of the ISP technician that came to my house to diagnose a minor issue I was having with my internet. I have to say, and I hate using this cliche, but the set-up of this modem/router was so easy that a caveman could do it, but it was! It took me longer to remove my old Motorola and un-box the NETGEAR modem than it took to set it up! Once it was plugged in and hooked up to my P.C. & cable, I called my ISP, gave them the I.P. address & model number, and within 10 minutes I was surfing the internet! Total set-up time was approx. 40 minutes! Then all I had to do was change password for the router & create a unique passcode for the devices to connect to it! Then I performed a speed test from my ISP's website, and just by upgrading to this NETGEAR AX2700, I gained 124mbps! It's been 3 weeks now and no issues! I have a good strong signal thought out my house and it hasn't dropped of the internet once since I hooked it up! In closing, I highly recommend purchasing this NETGEAR - Nighthawk AX2700 Router with 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem as it was easy to set-up, it’s really fast & reliable!

    I was renting my modem from xfinity. After I had upgraded to their newest model, I had nothing but issues. My speeds had dropped significantly (as low as 25Mbps) and the modem would disconnect several times I day. I spent 2 months with xfinity trying to fix the issue, but nothing they did worked. I was starting to get frustrated because I was paying for services and equipment that were not working. I work from home a couple of days a week, so I need reliable internet. I had decided to stop renting and buy the Netgear Nighthawk AX6. It was very easy to set up with Xfinity and it only took a couple of minutes to set up with the Xfinity app. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and it was worth the money! I have the gigabit plan. My speeds have been consistently around 900Mbps and the modem / router has been very reliable. You can download the Nighthawk app and use it to revoke access to any connected device, pause the internet on any connected device, check your speeds, check your data usage, reboot the modem and even create a guest WiFi with a different password. You can access your network remotely with the app. It also has a “Smart Connect” option, which automatically selects the fastest WiFi band for every device. I’m very happy with this modem and would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from renting one from their provider or if you’re looking to upgrade

    This Nighthawk CAX30S is the best tech investment I've ever made! Paired with Xfinity Gigabit Extra, I consistently get over 500 mbps downloads in my office studio, located on the opposite end of our H shaped 2000 sf ranch. I also invested in a new Nighthawk AXE3000 WiFi USB Adapter using USB 3.0 in my office studio to help achieve these fantastic WiFi 6 speeds. Extremely pleased with our new upgrades, and highly recommend both products! Additionally, both are very easy to install! THANKS NETGEAR and BestBuy! You have a customer for life! And a special THANK YOU to the BestBuy Associate who helped me choose this model! Steve B.

    Easy to use and setup. I have xfynity and with the use of the xfynity app and the netgear app my new modem was up and running within 10 minutes of the apps updating its software and setting up the connection. All i did was put the app to work and walked away. 10 mins later my whole internet was up and running all i had to do was rename my connection and setup the password! Highly recommend for anyone looking for fast speed and beginner level modem shoppers

    Right out of the box this router/modem was super easy to set up! Basically I just plugged it in and set it up with the Netgear Nighthawk app. The app alerts me with any concerns and alerts. It handles multiple, and I mean many, many devices with ease. Streaming also is fast with, again, multiple devices in different locations in the house. Also very stream line, doesn’t take up a lot of room. I would highly recommend this product.

    Easy to set up and works well. I've had very little issues since purchase. I had some issues with setup, but it was more the app than the modem itself. Works well, reception is great, and it's easy to read once you understand the lights and symbols.

    Made the mistake of changing login/password when replacing old with new, so more re-connecting accessories than would have had to do otherwise but, other than that, setup was not difficult at all. Really like this unit!

    Very happy with this purchase. Setup was very easy, in large part to the great app and guide. I also really appreciate the app for its security features and intuitive interface. I’m a little disappointed by the range, as I don’t get as good of coverage as I would have thought, hence 4 stars, but it’s fast and so far has been a great workhorse.

    Waited 3 months to leave a review. Gateway has not broken down. It does not overheat or sound like it is vacuuming the air around it. It reaches every corner of the house (2400 sq. ft.) and the sole reason all our outdoor Blink cameras finally work. Internet speed is as we paid for. It was easy to install over the app (make sure it is connected and that you talked to your provider).

    The NetGear Nighthawk AX2700 was very easy to install. I love the feature that you can view everything on your phone. This helps tremendously with usage and outages. The pricing was within my budget. I have had no problems with the modem router. Reliability was what I was looking for and this product hit the right button. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase of my AX2700. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for price, reliability and dependability.

    I really recommend NETGEAR Nighthawk® AX2700 WiFi Cable Modem Router (CAX30). It has been very fast and reliable. I never had a problem with Netgear equipment and i had my previous Netgear modem router for over 7 years with no problems but it was time to upgrade due to I was not getting the latest updates to maximize the speed I am paying in my plan. You won't regret the purchase. Very easy install, very user friendly. You will be happy with the super fast speeds.
