Honestly the best modem/router I've owned. Used to use one provided by my ISP, and constantly dealt with internet disruption and poor download/upload speeds. I highly recommend using a Net Gear product.

The Nighthawk Router/Modem combo provides steady, reliable internet throughout my house and even outdoors on my 1.5 acre property. It had an upfront cost that seemed expensive at the time, but the increase in speed of service will is preventing me from paying over usage of my current Internet plan from my provider and therefore, it will more than pay for itself with each passing month.

Easy to setup, I had more problems jumping thru the hoops with changes to my ISP. Had some minor tech issues. Online chat was fast and quickly got me sorted out.

An Internet search confirmed the Nighthawk AX8 to be the best over all performing combo modem router. I have had. three Nighthawk modem routers over recent years and have found they are excellent. They deserve their best ranking status.

I replaced an Orbi CBR750 with a Nighthawk CAX80. My ISP plan with Xfinity is 1Gbps. Download dropped from 1109 to 321 Mbps and Upload dropped from 118 to 42 Mbps. I have not heard from Tech Support in almost a week. Totally unacceptble.

Replaced a cable modem and a router with this combo, which reduced clutter. But I've found it impossible to use 5G with my WiFi7 motherboard. Tools like Claude Code are unable to communicate with their server. Works fine in 2.4.

My new Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 is terrific on all fronts. The way it communicates with me and displays all the necessary technical functionality is superb !! I highly recommend it.

This Gateway has been a lifesaver. Easy installation, I got everything set up running within 20 minutes. I work from home and have multiple devices that need a strong, stable connection and this works perfectly. Thought about getting the 30s and I don't regret getting the router modem CAX80. Hands down! I recommend this to anyone.

I just purchased the Nighthawk after having house fire and being gone 14 months from our home. The Nighthawk is so fast, I did a speed test and checked my internet plan. I pay for 400 mps and it clocked at 477mps. Easy to plug and play install, worth every penny.

Works great but had lots of issues with Xfinity setting up. So was on the phone with the for over an hour. Once hooked up though it's great!

I activated the Armor function when I set up the router, but it creates significant issues with connecting new devices. I had to try to connect my TV several times over 30 minutes before it finally worked. I can't figure out how to turn off the Armor function now.

This router was set up in minutes. It is reliable, easy to use, and is small enough to be discreetly placed in a central living space. I had the opportunity to upgrade to a "free" Xfi Gateway but refused as we find this Nighthawk Modem/Router combo to be outstanding.

Install was easy when using the xfinity app and nightwatch app. Performance has increased over last model.

The upgrade to the Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 was one of the best decisions we've made. Faster, more coverage and the reliability we've come to expect from Netgear.

The modem is good and the speeds are fast but the app was pulling so much data even when off that my s25 ultra warned me it was severely affecting the speed of my phone

So far so good with this modem. I purchased a refurbished model and the download speeds are faster than the old Comcast modem.
