I checked "no" for easy to set up, however that is probably more my fault than the modem/router. Someone more knowledgeable or experienced would probably have minimal to no problems. Since this was a refurb and was previously used by someone, be sure to reset the modem/router first thing before you try to set it up. I didn't and could not login to the modem/router with the username and password printed on the device because it must have been changed. I was surprised that the refurb didn't reset it. After reset, all was fine. Comcast provides a list of recommended modem/routers to buy if you do not want to rent one of theirs. This Netgear CAX30 was on that list. It is definitely an improvement over my previous 5 year old modem/router. Faster downloads, sharper images and videos, and greater range. I am glad I made the upgrade. I use 5G on my laptop, where I watch the videos, faster download speed. I use 2.4 on my phone, greater range. Read full review

Didn't setup very easily. Spent over 2 hours on the phone with tech support updating and configuring it. Had to call tech support cause couldn't even get the wifi to connect on one computer. Kept connecting and disconnecting and once it finally connected couldn't access the internet.

I can only speak from my experiences. This device is awesome. Works good(now). The initial setup was very difficult. After talking to my internet provider and Netgear customer support, it got done. My Advice, turn armor security off. It will annoy you quickly. Because it will NOT let you into almost every website.

I waited to write this review to see if there really is a noticeable difference between the modem I did have which was a generic modem that was given by Mediacom, I really do have to say there is a sizable difference, its nearly night and day difference to be honest. The modem I was leasing from Mediacom with my two Eeros would constantly lag and I would loose major pockets of data all the time and the latency was also terrible which made gaming really insufferable. My kids and my wife all gave up on the Internet and just used their data or they used their hotspots for school. I have the 1g package from Mediacom which consists of 1000 mbps 8TB of data, we were using like 100 gigs per month on average before the the modem, were now using nearly 2 TB of data every month. I would highly recommend this modem especially for gamers or content creators. Read full review

Everything went really good. Setup was easy, getting good speeds, modem page is very easy to understand. The only issue I had was one of my older laptops, I would say its well over 7 or 8 years old.. could not find the connection for wifi, no matter what I did or changed on the laptop, so I went out and got a USB wifi connection for it and everything is good.. but TV's, computers, Next, ARLO camera's etc.. found the network just fine. My internet provider is Mediacom.

I bought this to replace my outdated Motorola/Arris Surfboard and I am not disappointed at all. Setup through the Xfinity app is simple. Router setup through the Nighthawk app is fairly easy as well. Handles numerous WiFi connections with ease. By far the best investment I have made in 2022.

Modem was easy to set up, works very well and the smart connect make sure the wifi works on either 2.4 or 5 whenever needed.

Save yourself the headache and get this combo modem/router, especially if you have a 300mbps+ plan. I pay for 300mbps and on a wifi 6 compatible device I hit download speeds up to 400mbps when downloading a large game file. My previous modem and router which were both rated up to 600mbps were barely able to handle 100mbps. Absolutely worth the money.

Easy router to set up. Upgraded from a NetGear C3000. Way better performance. Supports many devices. Covers a 2,300 sq ft home with no problem.
