NETGEAR - Nighthawk AX2700 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem + WiFi 6 Router, 2.7Gbps (CAX30S)

We are very happy with this modem+router. It replaced our old modem+router that was six years old! We noticed a dramatic improvement in our internet speed and we finally feel like we're getting what we pay for from Xfinity. Installation was pretty easy, but just be prepared for it to reboot a few times as it prepares itself. But after the first hour or so, we haven't had any issues with connectivity.

Most of the things I found annoying or slightly lacking about our previous Netgear DOCIS 3.0 Cable Modem Router have been refined, and function much more smoothly than the previous Modem. This was a necessary change to allow us to go from 150-180 Mbps to consistently over 500 Mbps. So all-in-all I am pleased with the results of this upgrade. The only negative is that the Nighthawk setup/security app is a subscription package, and they want to hook you with a 90 day trial. Plus the app is only a mobile app, so you can't do the same functions from a PC console - that's a negative. Netgear Genie is still there, but functions differently and it's a resource hog - not a positive. I really think that bundling a software application with a hardware item should not require a subscription at this price point.
