Security designed to prevent you from using it!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I could give this 0 stars I would. I works great if you turn off all security and leave your network open. Once you use any security features, it will often block you from being able to access the internet. When you try to access it with your smart phone, it doesn't find the device half the time. When you try to login with your computer, it makes you reset your password repeatedly. I am so disappointed with this router and it cost so much. I'm finally throwing in the towel after 6 months and buying a new router. I guarantee I'll never buy a Netgear router ever again. BTW....requires frequent calls to tech support to get it to work. Once you've had it for a few months, the tech support is no longer free and you have to pay to get help using your device. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Eero 6
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The eero 6 works ok. The problem is the ethernet cable was only 3 feet long. I had to go and purchase a longer one. Suggestion to put in a 6 foot cable.

Not what expected
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Based on the detailed information about this product it stated it had 2 ethernet and 2 WAN ports. I was expecting both units to have 2 ports. Only one has 2 ports and the other is more of a satellite. I feel that is misleading and needs to be corrected in the description.

Internet Dropping
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Now the speeds from this router where great, the only problem that was occurring was that it would disconnect from the internet randomly throughout the day, it became bothersome, easy set up overall and customer service will leave you on hold for a long time.

Buyers remorse
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nothing special here , does work. Little to no settings to tweak . Just standard out of the box router. Was easy to set up. The bad thing here is this router is unsupported . Last firmware update was in 2019 . Let that sink in , no security updates in over 2 years . Linksys has marked this as end of life no wonder it was on sale . Range claims are bogas , low end range compared to my old router . wirless speed is average to low compared to my old AC1300 router , sorry I bought it

Doesn't work at all. Returning
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first time I tried to set it up, it kept saying that my WiFi pwd was incorrect - it wasn't. I just kept hitting next - without changing the password - and it finally took it on about the 5th try. It stayed connected for about 30 seconds. I was not able to get it connected again. Returning this.

Connectivity
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would rate the device higher but the connectivity was horrible. Based on the instruction manuel it would never connect. I had to figure it out on my own.

Wifi constantly goes out!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.DO NOT PURCHASE ROUTER - WIFI Drops Out everyday after purchasing it for about 1 month. You will have to reboot 1-2 times a day to get the wifi back up. Called Netgear Support and they want you to continue buying their support and saying that its not a hardware issue but internet issue. Don't buy this router unless you want to pay for the support for its lifespan.

Expensive featureless product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I currently have a NetGear Cable Modem/Wifi Router but it is DOCSIS3.0 so, at the recommendation of my ISP, I tried upgrading to this DOCSIS3.1 modem to get the full potential of my internet speed. Hoever, when I hooked this up, I got the same speed I used to have with my DSL provider (~40MBPS download). With my DOCSIS3.1 modem, I get >400MBPS. I don't know if this is defective or if something else is wrong with the setup, but it certainly didn't offer any value to me. Also, this is only a modem. Even though there are 4 Ethernet Ports on the box, they are not for connecting your devices to because this box is NOT a router. They are only for getting additional Global IP Addresses from your ISP, something residential service does not typically support as they only provide a single internet connection. So this requires an additional Router connected to it and this is a very featureless box for 50% more cost than my DOCSIS3.0 Modem/Wifi Router which provides 10x faster speeds than this box did.

Posted .Hi there. Thanks for taking time to share this with us. The modem is only meant to take the signal from the ISP and send it to the router which actually disperses the signal. It's just a bridge so to speak. I hope that helps out a a little. Either way, we appreciate the feedback and insight. Please let us know if you have any questions or need any further help.

Terrible
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Switched from the Xfinity gateway to this out of everyone’s recommendations. Gave it some time and it is just simply worse . Same devices in the same places running at lower speeds and lagging non stop . Not worth it all . Now stuck with it too because return date has gone by.
