Optimum Internet Router Set Up

Use this on optimum and it is extremely fast over wireless and the perfect all in one Modem/Router combo.

I’ve had it for about a week already and I’m pretty satisfied with it so far. My internet provider is Altice/Optimum; gave them a ring and provided the modems MAC address and had them put it on my account with zero issues. It literally took like 5 mins to do.

I have optimum and in my area there is no CAT wiring or fiber wiring, so my internet is set up through COAX which in networking is the slowest wiring of the 3. So I’ve had many many problems with Optimum’s stock router/modem and Wi-Fi extenders. Being that my wife and I work from home it’s imperative that we have stable connection which we weren’t getting. Once i changed to a mesh Wi-Fi system with Netgear’s standalone modem and added some mesh Wi-Fi routers, i am getting great speeds and haven’t really had any problem since. Would definitely recommend this modem!

I bought this router to load balance the internet from two ISPs in my home. The configuration and set up was easy and there are plenty of tutorials on the internet to help you. In the end, I was able to configure the router and my internet speed has increased quite a bit with this new setup. Very happy with this purchase.

Modem/router was easy to set up. It works well with Xfinity internet. Streaming is loading just fine, no delays.

Very easy to set up, forget your ISP supplied router this thing is a game changer! Unlock your true internet speeds with this bad boy. Easy setup with the app and the app allows for easy updates for the router and to connected devices. The included internet protection works great. Overall hands down the best router I have ever bought and since it’s so ahead of it’s time this router is virtually future proof, worth the money! Highly recommended!!

Using with Time Warner Cable Internet which is capable of up to 300 MB/s. Not much to set up. Just make sure your internet provider knows about it. Be aware it is a pure modem and does not contain an internal router or wireless access point. If you are planning on using it for a local network you will need a separate router.

We purchased the modem to save on monthly fees from our internet service provider. The product had a high rating on amazon and we decided to give it a try as most of the reviews were positive. However, set up was not as intuitive as we thought it would be. We had to go back and look at reviews to find that others experienced the same issue in the set up process. We spent a day without internet as we attempted to configure our modem in conjunction with our netgear router. We called the cable company to trouble shoot the issue but were unable to get a resolution. The modem and router are now working and I couldn't tell you how it happened, but I can tell you that we are thoroughly happy with the purchase. We have had no other tech issues and have been enjoying a seamless internet experience with our netgear modem and router.

Easy to set up, cheaper than renting a router from a provider, and provides better and faster coverage than the routers from the internet providers themselves.

This Nighthawk Modem Router is perfect for my internet needs!
