Great signal, Easy Setup, added speed and security. A great upgrade.

I’m not one to post reviews but, to get to the point, this Nighthawk modem is worth buying. It’s fantastic. It works beyond what you’d expect, and comes with security services that provide a new level of protection and peace of mind. Well worth the price. You will feel good about buying the Nighthawk. And ok, you have to agree it’s a great name. LOL

Wanted to stop paying lease on modem. Picked the CAX80 cause it checked all the boxes. Install was a breeze and works flawlessly with WOW internet provider. If you are on the fence you will not be disappointed. You get what you pay for. Spend a little extra and you will get a quality product.

I bought this to upgrade my home router and was the best move I’ve ever made it has WiFi6, traffic control. I’ve noticed that my internet has gotten faster and I have no dead spots in my house anymore. I would recommend this to anyone who is thinking about getting one or upgrading

2 Story concrete block 4,500 sqf home. Netgear Nighthawk 6 router is in the basement, extender on the main level. No dead zones anywhere, full signal everywhere.

Had cheaper WiFi extenders that simply weren’t up to the task. The EX80 is more than capable and easily streams all of my external security cameras

After install. It works pretty well. Very low ping and no noticeable glitches. Can’t complain.

This modem has good performance and exceeds that of the stock modem i got from comcast. The app also gives me good control of the modem and in a vet user friendly way. If you’re hesitating on the price tag just get it. You’ll love it.

Very easy to control and work with this device. Speed up your internet speed and control your network from anywhere

This is a very handy unit that looks great and works well. I paired the extender with a Nighthawk AX12 for full coverage of my large two-story home. The Nighthawk is downstairs at one end of the house and the extender is upstairs at the other end. I’m using it as a range extender and not a hot spot. I have been using Netgear routers and switches for years now and the software just keeps getting better. Configuration is intuitive and as simple or complex as you like. I used the Smart Connect feature which really simplified things but requires a little more thought if you need to directly access the extender during troubleshooting; use the provided link in the downloadable instructions and you’re home free. The coverage is excellent and now all devices, phones, tablets, and computers have a strong signal. REALLY strong and blazing fast at 5G. The only minor issue I encountered was also mentioned in other reviews. Even though I immediately updated the firmware during installation, for about the first two weeks it went through a period of stabilizing where it would momentarily lose connection with the Nighthawk for a few seconds each day. It never dropped any devices and we wouldn’t have noticed had I not been nearby and noticed the uplink light turn red. However, as reported by other users, this cleared up after about two weeks and it’s been rock solid ever since. Perhaps it was building routing tables or something like that. Finally, I’ve never had a single Netgear device fail so expect it to last until the technology is obsolete. Highly recommended!

Provides ten times the coverage and speed of the device provided by the cable company. Also allows more devices without slowing down.

Would recommend to anyone! I live in a rural area with very poor internet service and wasn’t able to do much of anything. Now with my extender, I am able to complete work from home without worry as well as stream movies and shows without buffering!
Priscilla Schultz (verified owner) –
Really happy with this purchase. Easy to set up. Really fast internet connection now.
Esteban Pollich (verified owner) –
Fast, easy setup and works great. I’m not a tech person but had zero problems setting up including several devices. The speeds are great.
Kathleen Willms (verified owner) –
Increased the Internet speed to computer connected by eithernet cable to EAX80 and connection to Nest Cam more stable.
Una Muller (verified owner) –
The setup was super easy and it boosted my upload and download speeds a ton
Eladio Macejkovic (verified owner) –
Paired this with a Netgear AX8 router and our 6500 square foot home now has strong signals everywhere and can accommodate six adults studying, working, and participating in video conferencing at home without any difficulty. And in the off hours, we have had multiple flawless streaming signals to keep us entertained. I highly recommend these Netgear products.
Frederik Ratke (verified owner) –
Absolutely loving my Nighthawk modem/router. I have it paired with a Nighthawk router. I have experienced better throughput, no signal drops, and the ability to connect more devices. Monitoring is made super easy with the Netgear Nighthawk App. I highly recommend this piece of hardware.

The range and connection speed is no joke. Legit and won’t regret!

This modem was easy to set up, and I like the application features.
