Great combo device
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...

Great Performance, But Died After 48 Hours
I love the performance and the capabilities, but 48 hours after start up, it completely died and will not power on. Tested the power supply and it is good, but no power on. It's going back to the store and will be replaced with another brand as this has caused me to lose faith in Netgear.

NETGEAR Nighthawk Vable Modem
What a difference a cable modem upgrade makes! I am now able to take full advantage of my broadband speed without having to rent a router from Xfinity! It pays for itself!

Happy to have upgraded to the CAX80
Prior to installation, downloaded the firehawk app. When the cax80 arrived, in very short time I had connected all of my systems with no issues. After my cable provider updated to the new Mac address, everything worked as designed. I did install the eax15 extender to ensure the wifi extended across my property. All in all.. very satisfied with speed and range.

Great router modem combo
Saves $20 off my Comcast bill and provides world class internet speed and coverage to my home. This thing is a monster I have over 20 devices connected and it’s rock solid.

Installation nightmare
Once I got the modem/router installed it has been fine. But installing it was a nightmare. The instrux said to use the app. I spent over three hours with their support. He said that the app doesn’t work with that model. He gave me a URL and then we breezed through it (after three and a half hours)

Blazing fast
I love my Nighthawk cable modem. We've been using it for two years now and it's blazing fast with no down time. Excellent for streaming with no glitches.

Nighthawk Cable/Modem works great
The Netgear Nighthawk Modem/Router Combo (CAX80) has worked great from the moment it was plugged in. Have not had any problems with it.

A great upgrade
We recently upgraded from an Arris Surfboard that kept dropping the 2.4Ghz signal. So far it's been great! I'm running around 1500 megahertz and it does a great job handling it.

Worth the upgrade
Due to an Xfinity upgrade in data speed, my wife's work laptop was timing out of a program she uses.
I upgraded our router modem from CAX30 to CAX80. The swap out took about 40 minutes.
NETGEAR has made installation with Xfinity service easier than ever.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend purchasing any NETGEAR equipment for the quality and customer service.

Unstable, frequent drops, difficult setup
I regret buying this modem. My old Motorola was more reliable. None of my devices automatically reconect to wifi if i lose power, i have to activate the modem through the app every time. So if i lose power while im away, none of my security cameras will have internet until i return home and setup the modem again... not to mention all the internet traffic from the firmw...

excellent modem
After years of paying monthly rental fees for a modem from my internet provider, I finally decided to make the switch and buy my own. After a lot of research, I landed on a Netgear modem—and honestly, I wish I had done it sooner Love it
