I am extremely satisfied with our new NETGEAR modem/router. This unit supplies us with uninterrupted internet for our family

I was a tech for years, and I must say both the quality and security this combo offers is amazing. It was very simple to setup, and immediately increased the ability of my home network.

The new router plus the included one year subscription to Netgear Armor have improved the download speed and blocked a lot of pop-up ads, banners and animated widgets.

Fairly easily to set up and use. Most issues fixed with a soft reset, comes back online quickly.

Two things, one it was cheaper at best buy, and two it would not hold the signal and kept dropping, so I had to return it.

I have used Motorola all my life, and the only thing I regret about this modem is not buying it sooner. I have a 3,000 square foot home with tons of devices connected to the WiFi and wired in, 4 total Netgear switch boards, full home security cameras, plus 6 family members ALL WIRELESS and absolutely flawless! I have Spectrum Gigabit tier, and I am impressed. Even the best Motorola combination modem and router did not reach my furthest bedroom very well. This is not even a remote problem with the wifi reach that this modem has. Installation was also super easy.

With some help from a Netgear tech the installation went smoothly. I'm 76 and not very tech savvy. He was polite, patient and professional. Many thanks!

This router is God sent. I had a Motorola router before with really good Internet from Xfinity but because the router was so bad it wasn't pushing enough out and we always had terrible connection. Now with this new router, I never have to restart the modem or deal with anything negative. It works absolutely amazing and lightning fast. It's definitely worth every single penny even though it cost a lot of pennies lol.

Yeah, the modem/router is the best. Exactly what I need. It needed to be configured to my Xfinity, and I am not tech savvy. Customer Service did it over the phone. They were patient and successful.

Works well. Glitches with MacOS on my iMac. Apple hasn't verified/vetted these apps for this device, only iPhone, iPad, etc. Armor crashed my iMac and I had to factory restart to restore functionality. Again not verified for iMac, so no VPN on that device. I hoped this package of hardware and software would work across all my Apple products, but doesn't seem to do that.

The NETGEAR Nighthawk CAX80 delivers fast and reliable performance. Connection stays consistently strong and supports multiple devices running simultaneously. It is a perfect choice to handle my gigabit internet plan.

This is a fantastic product! I needed to replace my old cable modem and WiFi router combo, and I decided to switch brands to the Nighthawk CAX80. While this one was more expensive than previous routers I have purchased, it has definitely been worth the investment. Install was a breeze, the app is far superior to other router brands' apps, and the performance has been absolutely stellar. If you're considering purchasing a Nighthawk, go ahead and pull the trigger. You won't be disappointed.

Getting faster speeds than expected. Easy setup. User friendly

Amazing product! Our Internet originally kept going in and out and we had the company give us a new device to use and just had the same issue, we also could never get Internet in our bedroom which was only about 10-15 ft from our modem combo though the Internet company. We can now get Internet all around house, in basement as well as the yard. It is customizable, our Internet company wouldn't allow us to change passwords and I felt the limited devices they allowed to be connected to there device caused more issue.

I've been using the NETGEAR Nighthawk CAX80 for a while now, and it has performed flawlessly. The setup was quick and straightforward, and the connection is strong and consistent throughout the house. The WiFi 6 technology makes a noticeable difference in speed and stability, especially when multiple devices are connected. I appreciate having the modem and router in one unit - it saves space and reduces cable clutter. Streaming, video calls, and gaming all run smoothly with no dropouts. The design is sleek and modern, and the Nighthawk app makes it easy to monitor and manage the network. The only thing I would mention is that it's a bit on the pricey side, but considering the performance and reliability, I think it's worth it.

Easy to set up modem and router best combo I ever had

This was a replacement of our older modem which was not being supported any longer do to age. This one is a lot faster and was easy to set up. I like the safety features on this new modem. It has already kept fraud from entering on one of our phones attached to it. Thank you.

Initially I bought this for gaming and does what it's supposed to do. Unfortunately what issues I seem to have are associated with my isp with slow upload speeds.

Nighthawk CAX80 is a great unit but probably only worth its cost if your internet provider can match its speed.
Bern

20-25 minute setup on xfinity, more than 6x my download speeds just from upgrading to this unit. Very excited to use it going forward, and the control center app is very helpful.

I upgraded my modem/router as my former Netgear was over 5 years old

I was using the modem/router combo from my provider but there was to many blind spots and to much buffering. I upgraded to the NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem WiFi 6 Router Combo (CAX80) and now I am not having issues. Would recommend this to everyone.

Netgear alerted me that I needed a new router and Xfinity also alerted me that I needed a new modem. The Netgear CAX80 was a perfect combo choice!

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...
