We use Suddenlink and have been paying $20 a month to rent a modem/WiFi for a long time. A friend told me about Orbi, so I took the plunge and ordered the modem/WiFi + satellite.
Pretty easy set up. Got ISP (Suddenlink) on the line and once they had the MAC address they activated my Orbi and it is awesome. Never had internet speed this fast.
Satellite is easy setup once modem is running. Plug it in and wait 3 minutes. Expands network tremendously.
ONE HUGE TIP:
Rename to exactly your previous WiFi name and password. You won’t have to “update” passwords on any mobile phone, tablet, laptop or anything that was connected to previous WiFi. Big time saver.
Once you are up and running, go into modem settings -) Advanced Mode. Rename.

Did not work for spectrum here in New York state. Called them and it was not on the list of compatible modem/router combos. The fact that it says Spectrum on the box as advertised is a LIE. Wasted 179 dollars. I dont feel like shipping this useless item back so the money just burned thanks to the spectrum ad. Way to go sellers. Way to steal money.

I don’t typically write reviews, however wanted to share my frustration with this product for others looking to purchase it. The modem/router was easy to set up, and allowed me to use wifi no problem for our devices and TV, however I got a new router due to my job allowing me to work at home a few days a week, and wanted a reliable wifi strength for the job. With my work computer I use a VPN to sign into the secure network. So on my work computer I was able to log into wifi, then connect thru VPN, however the VPN would drop less then 5 minutes later. I could connect back in, but same issue would again happen with VPN dropping. I called my help desk at work, and had them try different set ups, even gave me new laptop to try to solve issue but nothing worked. Then called my internet provider and had them run tests on their end, but all was good for that too. Then called NETGEAR to have them trouble shoot the issue, but after 3 calls to them and nothing working, I was beyond frustrated. After 2 months I did my own research online on Netgear blogs and forums, and found out this actual modem/router does not support VPN! And there is no way to fix it. I wish I knew this before I spent over $130 on it, because I wasted the money as this modem/router is useless to me. Bought a Motorola MG7540 and works perfectly with no issues

Was super excited to try the new Orbi system with the built-in cable modem. Called Cox to activate my new modem they said the CBK40 is not in their system yet and cannot be activated. A few other issue, the CBK40 is using the old DOCSIS3.0 technology (3.1 is the new standard).
Note: the description on Amazon states it works with Cox, plus the packaging even has a Cox logo… Netgear needs to figure this out!

This was sent to me By Amazon to replace the one I bought that didn’t work. I got exactly the same experience:
1. Even with my download speed clocking over 150 mbs streaming video buffered and some times froze. On Amazon it froze consistently.
2. Ethernet response across my system was inconsistent but mostly poor.
3. Pages I tried to open timed out.
4. WiFi was terrible even in the same room with the modem.
I got Netgear involved three times and it never got any better. My wife was getting pretty ticked at me after spending this kind of money and having such bad service.
I got Comcast to come check my lines and make sure everything was working as it should which I knew it probably was. They suggested trying their WiFi modem to make sure the Nighthawk was the problem. Bingo! All my problems went away. I’m going to wait a few months just to make sure everything is still working and then I’m going to buy an Arris Which is what Comcast’s is.
With all the hype and great reviews I thought this was going to be the one but no. You can’t argue with failure.

This products is great. We have Comcast as our provider and service is not good. I refuse to rent their router. My previous router was 6 years old and they kept blaming it on that.. Could not facetime or stream without trouble. I went to Best Buy to get their opinion and they wanted to sell me a separate router and a modem. Cost was over $200.00. Decided to use my prime acct. and check out an all in one router/modem and could not be happier with this product. I am not a tech person but setting this up was so easy. Since I set this up, a week ago, I have not been kicked off the internet or any trouble streaming. I saved well over $150.00 by purchasing this from Amazon.
