The product works great and I have no complaints. Only suggestion would be a better discount when purchasing Netgear Armor

This product works nicely at my house. My square footage is a little more than it was rated for, but it still does the job. I have many cameras and smart devices and everything works smoothly.

The instant I connected this NETGEAR Nighthawk modem router combo to my internet service it solved all my issues that I was experiencing with the arris modem router. This CAX80 Nighthawk is well worth the price as it has great area coverage and has not dropped any connected devices, one of which is 60 feet away and has four walls the signal has to penetrate. I truly wish I had purchased this model the first time, It would have saved me hundreds of dollars and all the problems I had with my old model. You won't be disappointed with this one!

Great for gaming! I made a mistake and bought a cheap modem/router around $200. If you're in the same boat as me, I would recommend going straight for this as this has never failed me. My previous router always had packet loss and high ping intermittently so I had my ISP come multiple times that they ended up replacing my whole line. Little did I know, I needed a high quality, easy to configure and reliable modem which is this one. I am never leaving the Nighthawk line ever again.

I was stuck in the past with my old Motorola 3.0 router modem! Had to upgrade my computer and all of a sudden things didn't work. I'm paying for the best Internet speeds available in my area! The old router modem wasn't giving me the speed that needed. I went to Best Buy to make my selection without hesitation. He suggested the Nighthawk. I'm glad I made that choice.

This combo is faster than our previous split system. Set up was relatively easy, once we got through to our service provider.

This is better than I thought the modem and router would be for my computer.

Had trouble configuring it with an iPhone but was successful with a tablet. However, the tech on my support call registered the modem under the wrong email. After almost 2 weeks it is still not fixed just a complete run-around. Can't use the armor subscription without that registration. Will be returning it if it's not corrected soon due to the 30 day return window

This product has been exactly as advertised. Easy installation, great performance, I like the management app and the Armor app is interesting, haven't had a change to exercise all the features yet.

Best modem to date. Eliminates rental fees from local provider. There is no need for wifi extender because built in router sends singal through whole home. Also, great parental controls on app.

Note: I am doing merging the 2.5 and 5G networks, maybe that could improve speed, but with everything else the same, and just swapping out the Internet Supplier Modem with this one, it is super fast through the direct ports, and saves money from renting from the provider... However I am going to use another product for WIFI, since this one all the TV's are blotchy, and the speeds are not good. I even changed the channels to non-conflicting with other neighbors, so not sure what's going on, but will just try another wifi router.

Our old router struggled to provide WiFi to a video baby monitor on the other side of the house. The coverage and quality is perfect after setting up our new CAX80. Would recommend to a friend.

My internet was not able to keep up with the demand of multiple gaming devices, streaming and working from home, so we upgraded our internet to 2 GB and as a result had to upgrade our router. My office is above the garage, so we chose this for its range and to future proof our internet for when we inevitably have even more devices online. This router is so powerful we were able to stop using all 5 of our wifi extender, and the security features are also great. I like that I can see all devices connected to my internet and can block devices accordingly. Its quite futuristic looking, and very easy set up. Its a bit pricey, but worth it in my mind to have a router that will be able to handle 4 GB if/when we need to upgrade our internet yet again and to be able to use the internet around our entire home and garage without any extenders. Very happy with this purchase!

Installation was fairly simple overall. No hiccups. Kinda weird and bulky shape compared to other units I've seen but has worked well since installed.

The total process was very easy to upgrade my Xfinity account to the CAX80 modem / router. The unit is working without issues and I am very happy that I made the change.

Great combo device
By Plemans
This device is a great example of what a combo device should be. There's tons of features you can read about in the above but the one feature that I appreciate the best is the fact that the firmware for the modem is now separate from the router portion. Meaning your router portion can now get updates independent of the modem. This is critical as its one of the major con's of combo devices. In terms of speeds, it routinely pulls 1.1-1.2gig from my xfinity service. I then use it to feed my orb...

A Fantastic New-Generation Router/Modem!
By rhnh
I set up my CAX80 a week ago, bought through Amazon where it's now available. My ISP is COX and this unit takes full advantage of the their gigablast plan (I'm getting 940Ghz Ethernet/500+Ghz on 5GWifi separated by 3 rooms). It is capable of far greater speeds, but I'd have to wait for future COX plan upgrades. Installation was simple and straightforward. One reason I decided to get the CAX80 is that Netgear provides router firmware updates for this newest model of router/modem. This is sepa...
