Cons
I hope this review saves someone time. Shady business.
Nighthawk wifi router stopped working after 88 days. Failed in 6 months; dropped connection to isp and would not reconnect. Reconfigured router but there was nothing to receive.

Centurylink and comcast are the two main providers where i live boulder co and unfortunately purchasing a modem for comcast isnt compatible with centurylink so if i switch isps ill have to buy a new modem

But routers are generally compatible with most modems assuming i keep it within the tech limits of the modemservice and router capability so purchasing a router has a longer effective life span than a modem if i switch isps whether its do to moving or jumping for a prom which is possible as i have no loyalty to utility companies

Setting up the router and modem is a cinch and you can really save a bundle and likely have a better configured network at home
