Motorola - AC Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router with 16 x 4 Modem - Black

When I first connected the modem (MG7540) and connected to the internet via an Ethernet line, the connection was intermittent, meaning I would go from page to page and all of a sudden the page either couldn't be displayed or no internet connection. Going back to the previous page there was no problem then clicking on the same link it went straight to the page that would previously not display. Sometimes the page would show no internet connection, then about 10 seconds later the page would appear. Also, the internet did not work very fast. Checking the wifi signal it turns out the signal goes to one bar once you get about 20 feet away from the modem. Even a router for a dorm room is stronger than this. I switched to the cable company's modem and the problems went away. The internet worked faster and no intermittent drop offs. Needless to say, I returned this modem.

I decided to go for this modem because it had four LAN ports. I am an Xfinity customer, and it was very easy to set up this modem. One thing I am not sure about is that between the two wireless connections (the 2G and the 5G), all the devices that I have switch back to the 2G by default; I am not sure this is normal or not. Other than that, connection has been great, and I have not had any issues with this modem/router.

I have been using this with my Xfinity broadband, had purchased it to avoid monthly rental from Comcast ($10) every month, its worth the money, it has 2 bands 2Ghz and 5 Ghz, have connected all of my devices to 5Ghz and works flawlessly and has a good range, I can use the network till by car park which is about 30 meters away.

Item was easy to install. Modem and router in 1 makes connecting to internet simple. I felt price was a little expensive. The price was the same everywhere... but what's great about Best Buy, I could use my reward certificates towards the purchase and earn more rewards with the purchase.

We decided we are going with Cable One long term for Internet and didn't want to rent anymore. This modem seemed to provide the most for the dollar. So far it out performs the rental in a noticable way. Very pleased with the choice and the performance.

This router isn't worth it. The WIFI strength was only good for about 25 feet, then down to one bar. Would not recommend unless you are in a one bedroom studio. Returned for a better router, different brand.

I have been putting this through the paces as I'm a Solution Architect working out of my home. I have been very pleased with performance. No issues and hard to beat for the price!

This modem/router works as well as the one I was paying monthly for through my cable provider. I have had no issues so far and am pleased with my purchase.
