Get This Deal

This combo has been sitting near $273 to $277 for most of the past six months, so a $253 sticker is a real step below where it usually lives. The 30-day average sits at $276.77 and the 90-day at $276.59, which puts today's price roughly $23 under both.

It is not the $207.55 all-time low, but for a device you will leave plugged in for years, the gap between a good week and the absolute floor is small change against the monthly rental it replaces.

What You're Getting

Type	DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem and WiFi 6 router in one unit
WiFi	Dual-band AX2700, up to 2,000 sq ft, 25+ devices
Provider support	Xfinity up to 800Mbps, Spectrum up to 1Gbps, Cox up to 1Gbps
Ports	Four Gigabit Ethernet for consoles, desktops, and streamers
Setup	Guided setup and network controls through the Nighthawk app
Color	Black

Multi-gig DOCSIS 3.1 speeds give you headroom on today's fastest plans, and the four wired ports keep your most latency-sensitive gear off WiFi entirely. The Nighthawk app handles guided setup, speed tests, device pausing, and guest networks from your phone.

Who This Is For

Best for Xfinity, Spectrum, and Cox customers who want to stop renting a modem and consolidate two boxes into one. The AX2700 coverage suits a house or apartment up to about 2,000 square feet with a full load of phones, laptops, and smart devices.

If you are on a fiber provider or a bundled voice plan, this is not the box for you.

The Caveat

It does not work with Verizon, AT&T, CenturyLink, DirecTV, DISH, or bundled voice plans, and your ISP still has to activate it after setup. Check your provider and plan speed before you buy.

Final Verdict

A $253 price on a modem-router combo pays for itself once you stop handing your cable company a rental fee every month. Xfinity, Spectrum, and Cox subscribers running mid-tier plans should move now, while fiber customers should pass.
