Netgear Netgear C6900-100NAR Nighthawk Dual Band AC1900 Cable Modem Router , BLK (Renewed)

With the overload of WiFi use at home lately we had noticed significant lag and would lose signal. Finally decided to upgrade. After much debate I settled on the nighthawk. I chose refurbished since we were tight on funds and took a chance. I though I purchased the one with a USB port since I wanted to connect our old printer but I must have clicked on the wrong one.At first I was bummed. This is much bigger than our old router. Our Motorola modem was also tiny. But I decided to give it a chance. Holly crap!! I didn’t know we were streaming by Morse code before!! I can walk outside of our house, around the yard, into the basement, or crawl in the attic...FULL SIGNAL!!So...the cons: Big. Angled design so can’t set it in any other orientation other than vertical. (This one) doesn’t have a USB port.Perks: Star Trek looks. Killer signal strength. Easy set up. Refurbished made it affordable! Came boxed up professionally, clean, wrapped, and brand new with all necessary paperwork and accessories.VERY happy with this purchase.

Modem/Router works Great. I have WOW 200mbps service and this modem provides consistent speed for Zoom Video Meetings. I had the Netgear CG3000D before and it provided the 200 mbps speed but not consistent. It would freeze for a couple of seconds every now and then. This modem router fixed that problem. I can't review the wifi 2.4ghz and 5ghz portion because I have those antenna's turned off. I use 2 TP Link EAP115 in the front and back of the house connected to this device and they transmit dependable wifi signal. We can run 3 zoom meeting at the same time through wifi and host a 4th meeting through a direct connected computer with 200mbps service and not have any laptop or desktop freeze. This device can handle what ever you through at it. I normally have 17 devices connected between 4 amazon sticks, raspberry pi's, laptops, tablets, phones, etc. Did not come in original packaging but everything looks new and works great. Make sure you have good Cat5e of Cat 6 cables. I had cheap supposedly Cat5e cables from Ebay but only transmitted 60-100mbps speed. Test your cables, don't just think they will work because its labeled for 1,000mbps or 10,000mbps.(For the newbie's: You need a modem and router if you want to connect more than one device. Not just a modem and network switch. The modem will not assign IP addresses for multiple devices. OR you can just buy a modem router like this one.)

We are in LOVE with this modem. Our bill was 100 per month. Xfinity sent us a new modem saying that we needed to return the one we have and pay more for the new one, or keep the old one and pay even more on top of that! No way. A friend told me about replacing the Xfinity modem with one like this and reducing our monthly bill. I ordered it, plugged it up, followed the directions included in the box. Before you know it (about 15 mins later) we were up and running on our own modem. We returned both boxes to Xfinity via UPS and received a notification a few days later that our bill was reduced to $53. Excellent WiFi signal. Super easy to install. And excellent value for the money we spent. I have zero complaints.

The modem was easy to set up out of the box. I have been using it over a month and the unit has performed well. A few times, the internet dropped but the modem WiFi signal was consistent and steady.It has sufficient capacity to handle high speeds from your internet provider.

My old modem/router died so replaced with this and I must admit this was worth the price. I got better speed, stronger signal and it takes less space than older 4 year old product.Was able to setup my wifi components fast and get them working great. With the 2.4 and 5.0 I like to balance the products I use so not to overwhelm the router.I would recommend and use xfinity for internet.

Was skeptical because I bought this refurbished, but it's super fast and was easy to hook up. I'm using it for internet right now to post this review. I can stream videos from Amazon/Netflix/Hulu in hd with no problem. It's worth noting there's only me and my gf at my 1400 square foot house so there's never more than 2 people watching videos at the same time. People in bigger houses or households of 4-5 people might not have the same experience. I'd recommend doing the research, but this is perfect for my house.

Bought it refurbished from Amazon for $99 to replace the Arrid I leased from Xfinity. The signal was stronger and seemed to run faster. I actually didn't need to use my wifi extenders. Feature-wise, they are similar. It is a modem with built in wifi, two boxes in one. This one, I could connect a battery backup. In case I lose power, I can still go online and call somebody. Whereas the internet download speed varies, I did get a download speed of 455.3 Mbps. The previous Xfinity Arris was 346.9 Mbps.
