  1. Satya

    Awesome speed. I am able to get real gigabit speed now

  2. Unknown

    I love this router work good and affordable great tech.

  3. Marbleman

    Never was able to get this modem to work. I was in contact with the Netgear support and they had me changing different setting but still would not work. I contacted Xfinity, my IP and they tried sending different signals and still did not work so I returned it.

  4. Cat80

    I purchased this modem to replace my xfinity modem the internet seems to be holding steady and set up was easy with the xfinity app

  5. Marc1

    netgear were is mid split support for 2050v .faster upload speeds.comcast needs new firmware or mid split for faster 100 meg upload please reach out to comcast regrading mid split. 300 dollars modem come netgear

  6. ESuddoth

    The equipment has helped improved my download speed.

  7. Ajax

    I replaced my older NETGEAR with this one. I do notice a faster response while using my laptop and Apple iPad. It is also compatible with Xfinity.

  8. Wayne

    This modem is one of the few approved by Comcast/Xfinity if you do not want to use their equipment and also have a landline. I like Netgear equipment in general so was happy it was one of the choices. It was easy to setup following the included instructions although you do need to download the Xfinity and Netgear apps on your smartphone. Performance is better than expected and I am now getting over 900mbs download speed over a cat 5e cable. I also purchased the Netgear Nighthawk AX5 AX4200 Router when I upgrade to this modem.

  9. kawika1950

    Easy connection with our internet provider and provides a steady and clear connection to our router and landline. There are fewer u it that include voice connection service. I will note that, given the fewer options, the cost of this unit appears to be at a premium, although I have noticed sale prices routinely at the store level or through the manufacturer directly.

  10. RTremor

    Fast and reliable. I’d recommend it to anyone. Great product.

  11. Andrew

    I purchased this device to be compatible with my high internet speed plan at Xfinity. I’m happy with the purchase, it’s an easy set up, and much higher internet speed

  12. Rhythm1971

    Easy setup. Great speed. Just had to plug and play.

  13. EdwinD

    Followed the Netgear setup instructions and connected to Xfinity without issues. Now I am getting the speeds that is in my Xfinity plan.

  14. SallyD

    Malfunctioned after 18 mo of use. I had purchased the extended warranty with Geek Squad (well worth it) and Best Buy was awesome with processing a quick exchange.

  15. GilesO

    The setup with Xfinity was a breeze. I connected within minutes.So far the bandwidth received is almost 99% of what I’m paying for. The telephone connection using an old old bell telephone was flawless. Hope it stays this way.

  16. JohnnyO

    Best modem I have owned so far. Lots of control and very fast. Highly recommended.

  17. Clud

    There was an internet outage in my area for several hours. When the provider turned the internet back on, this modem started flashing rapidly and would no longer connect. After some research, I found out that this is a known issue with these modems. Because I was a few weeks outside of the warranty, Netgear would not provide any service or repairs. Would not recommend.

  18. Andrew

    The modem was great when it worked. It lasted 2 years and a couple months for me and then stopped working (wouldn’t even boot). This gave me a chance to better understand the Netgear warranty and support apparatus which is pretty useless. The online support is limited to 90 days – and you can’t even download the firmware to try and reset the modem using TFTP. In any event, given how expensive the product is, you need about 2.5 years to break even against just renting the modem from Comcast (and that doesn’t take into consideration the need to purchase a WiFi router on top of it). I would look to competitor products going forward.

  19. Matt

    Super fast and easy setup with xfinity. had it running in about 10 minutes

  20. LA176

    Modem setup went smoothly. Excellent speed and connectivity. It is approved by Comcast/Xfinity which can be helpful if they are your provider.

  21. Bulldog

    Easy set up beer reliable no negative issues. Good value

  22. DonaldK

    I am happy to this point. My internet speeds seem to have went up, slightly above what I am paying for.

  23. PhilD

    This modem gave exactly what I needed. Having Xfinity voice, we needed something that provided connectivity to our mesh network and provide us with phone access. Really happy with this purchase.

  24. DominickB

    Absolute utter garbage died after 2 months. Went from 934 Mbps to 212. Comcast measured 1500 Mbps into the modem. Netgear tech support tortured me for a month with the slowest emails on earth and finally decided to send me another piece of junk. They are horrible. Netgear should be sued putting out this trash. I took 4 hrs for Comcast to set it up…none of the “support” personal could seem to manage it. NIGHTMARE

  25. LarryrD

    Sturdy reliable performance element in my office/home set up. Coordinates well with other dependent technologies.

  26. Unknown

    Returned this because i bought the wrong item. But i know its a good router

  27. olyduck

    Easy set up, other than some complexities dealing with Xfinity. Has really helped boost my wireless speeds.

  28. WilliamE

    Set up was fast and easy. Will save me money over time over Concast modem.

  29. JamesV

    Not sure why but I have had to unplug and reboot the modem 4-5 times a week and we have only had it a month now

  30. AgnesT

    Our internet has never worked so well even with our sons gaming. Great purchase!!

  31. MatthewW

    Very good product. Also a space saver. Easy setup.

  32. BBOY

    I purchased this Netgear Cable Modem on sale $50 off and compatible with my xfinity service. In the future I might need a faster 2Gigs of hi speed connections. So far so good!

  33. BigTomC

    Upgraded my modem because the amount of items using Wifi has increased to the point we’re it slowing down my internet speeds. I also didn’t want to spend the monthly rental fee from Xfinity. This model works flawlessly and I have had no problems with it at all. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to upgrade or to get away from Xfinity’s modem rental fees!

  34. DavidP

    This was very easy to setup and switch over internet and voice from a Comcast rented cable modem. The changeover required contacting Comcast but this went fairly well. Don’t be afraid to make this change and you will save money in the long run.

  35. TeresaK

    This has worked great with our Xfinity. It did take some time and patience to get it up and going through Xfinity but now that it is, I’m very pleased!

  36. ScottM

    Lost power and this thing turned into a brick and couldn’t be recovered. Went with a less expensive model and it has been much better

  37. DavidH

    Replaced comcast awful gateway. Easy set up. Was a comcast approved modem. ( they have a list on their website) combined with Orbi WiFi. Constant flawless internet was the result! FYI Comcast will tell you that if you don’t use their gateway you can’t use their wireless cable boxes because they will not update. I know someone that has used them for years with no problem. But getting comcast to put wireless cable boxes in their system for you could be a problem.

  38. JasperDyne

    Gets the job done. Pretty reliable, though my last one died just out of warranty. Very stable connection. Rarely needs rebooting.Lets me access high speeds of Xfinity internet without having to rent their equipment.

  39. AristeoV

    Installation was very easy. Netgear Customer service was great and knowledgeable.

  40. KyleV

    horrible upload speeds. It was supposed to be a top-of-the-line modem but had super slow upload speeds. Netgear support was not helpful and ultimately returned to get a cheaper but better product from a competitor.

  41. practicaltech

    Very seamless setup including the connection to Xfinity totally using the app with no people involved. Meets expectations with speed and stability.

  42. Norelco7500

    I am very pleased with my new NETGEAR – Nighthawk Modem that I purchased at Best Buy. It was easy to set up and it has far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it if you are looking to replace an old Modem.

  43. Bfrazier76

    Advertising says compatibility with Xfinity, but shortly after installing I had internet outages and received an email from Xfinity that Netgear was having software compatibility issues with Comcast. This is misleading and false advertising.

  44. MelissaA

    It’s great, super fast. We noticed and improvement immediately.

  45. JasonM

    pure junk and will not work with xfinity, I was on the phone with netgear and xfinity for 4 hours trying to get this working, xfinity gets a error the modem can not be added to inventory, I was told by netgear this is a cable modem issue even though I paid for the pro plan there is nothing they can do for a few months

  46. Diana

    Great quality and speed so far. Sleek unit for the home office.

  47. Penni4URthoughts

    Don’t buy, it’s software is no longer supported (less than. 1 year after I bought it) and it is now experiencing a NetGear bug that prevents me from getting the speeds I am paying for on Xfinity. xfinity even sent me multiple emails with SUPPORTED modems and said that the NETGEAR issue will not be fixed for a couple months. What a joke and ripe off

  48. Bubba777

    GREAT PRODUCT !!!!!!
    Easy to set up and works amazing

  49. Randy

    Purchased 9/19/23 and like many other 1 star reviews, mine failed in 3 1/2 months. Lights started blinking fast and no internet connection. At least Netgear support line answered the phone quickly. They said it overheated and failed. That’s ridiculous in 2023 that the industry can’t make a widely used electronic product that overheats in 3 months and fails. Of approximately 350 reviews, 35 were 1 star and almost all were failure. That means approximately 10% of these fail. Netgear sent me another one but I feel the chances of it lasting years is low and the warranty will expire in one year. Then I’ll be stuck even though I bought the most expensive modem to avoid this very issue.

  50. PaulW

    While it was a little difficult getting this established as my new modem, once I got over that hurdle, it has been super reliable. The lights are easy to read / understand.
