00:00 Introduction and what's on the box
03:05 Unboxing the Nighthawk AX2700
06:43 Setting up the Netgear Cable Modem Router
I bought a modem/router just like yours. I was following along in my Quick Guide but unknowingly I skipped a step. I searched around UA-cam and I found your video. And, through your video, I found the step which I had skipped. So, great video. You saved me much time trying to call Comcast. Thanks.
Thank you Scott Starker so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. So happy we could help you. That is what I try to do with my videos - Entertain and Educate. Have a GREAT Day.
Well done and VERY in-depth.
Thanks. I always try to put in the amount of information I personally would like to see.
Thanks for posting this review. It was great. Followed all your instructions and I am up and running. Quick thing to add, Nighthawk app also lets you rename your wifi router name to your old one so you do not have to reset all your connected devices. Awesome job!!
Thank you Brenda Lobo so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. So glad we could help. That is the main reason why we do these videos ... Entertain and Educate. Have a GREAT Day.
I just purchased the AX2700 yesterday at Best Buy for 359.99 and it runs way faster than my rental from Cox Internet. After 4 years I am now pleased to have my own. I will be saving 180.00 every year now.
Thank you @JinnyBoy2020 so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. Have a GREAT Day.
I just ordered mine from Amazon and i was wondering how you set yours up? I currently am a cox internet customer and yeah the rental router isn’t the greatest. How did you set up the ax2700 as your MAIN gateway ?
This helped us a lot when setting up! Thx
Thank you @aab2831 so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. So glad we could help. Have a GREAT Day.
Glad it worked out well for you
Thank you
GOOD VID ON CHANNEL THANKS LEE
Thank you ANFIELD ROAD LAYOUT IN THE LOFT. Appreciate it.
Good video man 👍
Thank you @mobilgoatramirez9144 so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. Have a GREAT Day.
I just bought the CAX8/AX6000 last month and its a beast of a modem router combo. I highly recommend anyone buy either the AX2700 or the AX6000. The difference is, the AX27000 doesn't have that extra 2.5 GB multi gig port, whereas the AX6000 does. Also, the AX6000 allows for 8 Wi-Fi devices simultaneously whereas the AX2700 only allows 6 Wi-Fi devices simultaneously.
DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THE MOTOROLA MT8733. Absolutely horrible modem/router with terrible Wi-Fi signals that drop tremendously, and speeds on both bands. I had to return it to Best Buy and buy the NETGEAR AX6000.
Thank you GoldenEraHipHopForever so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment and share your experiences with our viewers. We really appreciate that. Have a GREAT Day.

Nicely done
Thanks
Thanks!
Welcome!
Question, should one get a modem with higher speeds than the internet speeds one get from the internet provider?...for example i get 1gb from my ISP, im thinking a 1gb modem would cap it, correct?... should i get a modem higher than 1gb?.. thanks in advance
Thank you The_Godfather so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. There are a couple different opinions on that. Some say to just get a modem/router that you minimally need that matches the current provider's speed, to keep the cost down. Others say to get the highest speed modem/router NOW to give to give you some head room if you decide to purchase a higher speed from your provider soon afterward. I tend to be in the second camp. I also suggest to buy your own router other than rent the one from your provider. Much less chance they can throttle you down in speed if they need the extra band width for a higher paying client like a local event vendor, etc. Just my opinion. Hope that helps. Have a GREAT Day.
So im trying to set mine up through windstream kinetic fibre network, but it was not setup with a coax cable. It isnt detecting the modem/router combo, what should i do?
I do not work for Netgear so I only have experience with my network setup, as I showed in the video. Did you check with your internet provider to ensure this model is compatible with their network, or to activate the modem after you set it up? If so, You will probably have to call your internet provider to see if they require extra setup steps.
Mine doesn’t work, it says unable to locate a router. But it’s a dual though? I plugged everything in like it suppose to. The power, and the coaxial cable to the wall outlet and the modem router itself
So sorry to hear that. I have no ties to the company nor am I a tech so not sure how much I can help. Mine worked as described by following the step by step instructions, as I showed in the video. Did you contact your internet provider to get your new modem/router initiated? Only thing I can think of from the information you gave. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Does anyone know if this router is compatible with Xfinity's gigbit plan? Was looking to upgrade to their 1200 mbps plan
Thank you @xXZabstractXx so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. You will have to contact Comcast customer service to be sure. The literature for the modem is a bit confusing. It claims to support internet plans up to 2Gbps but later goes on the to say they are currently "certified" for Xfinity for only up to 800Mbps. Hope this gives you a little help until you can get confirmation from Comcast. Have a GREAT Day.
I tried to install this modem earlier but for some reason, it wasnt connecting to my wifi. Tech from rcn said i may be a software issue so i gotta contact net gear. Wondering if any1 had the same issue.
How far along did you get with the installation steps? Also, I'm not sure who RCN is. I assume the business you bought it from. Finally, did you register the modem with your service provider? These answers might help someone assist you. Thanks.
Is this compatible with European cable ISP? My cousin from Rhode Island doesn't need this anymore and wants to give it to me , but I live in the EU.
Thank you @SalvatoreEscoti so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. Unfortunately I do not have any inside information since I do not work for Netgear. I am simply a consumer of this product.
Here in the USA we can call customer service of our internet service provider to see if it is compatible. I assume you can do the same? Not sure if you have the same type of customer service in the part of the EU you live in. Sorry I can not be of more help. Good luck and Have a GREAT Day.
Does this unit work with Xfinity home phone service also?
Thank you @LaszloBagi so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that.
I did a little research, since I do not have VOIP phone service. This is what I found.
Jul 2, 2021 - The CAX30 doesn't support VOIP phone services. I had VOIP phone service with AT&T and the AT&T modem ...
The AX2700 and CAX30 are the same router, just packaged different in different countries. Hope this helps.
Have a great day,
Is this only for US Csble isp or also for European cable isp? Like Vodafone
Thank you @SalvatoreEscoti so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. Unfortunately I do not work for Netgear and I have no other information other than the box, which I purchased in North America, only references North American providers. Sorry I cannot be of further help. Have a GREAT Day.
How are you doing now with this router modem combo? Still pleased with your purchase?
Thank you @jonathond1982 so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. To answer your question, so far so good. I have not have any problems with it ... yet. Have a GREAT Day.
Question, what plan did you have?
Thank you @theking-wr5ny so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. Depending on the ISP and where is the country you live, they call it something different. We only had 3 choices at the time. Basic, Mid, and High Speed. At the time their high speed was not all that much faster that the mid level. I had basic and went to mid. This may not translate to what they call it now but that is what is was when I switched. Hope that helps. Have a GREAT Day.
Did your monthly payment go up due to the higher speeds thanks in advance 🤝🤝
Thanks for watching and commenting. We already paid for faster service but we were not getting close to the advertised speed we were paying for. They offered to lease us a better modem and said we should get the increased speed we paid for. This sounded very suspicious to us so I decided to simply buy this modem/router to see if it was true. As you see in the speed test at the end, they were actually telling me the truth. Still glad I bought this modem/router instead of leasing one from them because I read that they tend to sometimes decrease speeds on the leased modems when demand is high in your area. It is more difficult for them to do that with an item you buy on your own. Sounds feasible to ME anyway ... and everything you read on the internet is true. 😆
Yes sir your welcome I know my provider spectrum is throttling my speed they keep making excuses thanks for replying I appreciate it 💯 enjoy the content 💪💪💪🫡🫡🫡
How do I know what isp provider I have if this is my first time?
Thank you @im_bored6883 so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. The ISP (internet service provider) is simply the company you pay to have internet service. They just make it a fancy name for some reason. Hope this helps. Have a GREAT Day.
@@ResslerMania thank you 😊
Please give a like this great video!!!!
Thank you Jc J so very much for watching our video and taking time to comment. We really appreciate that. Have a GREAT Day.
what about setting up the wifi name and password?
The password is on the side of the unit. When setting the unit up, at the end you can do administrative changes to the unit, just follow the prompts if you want to make changes to them. Have a great day.
