    Says it handles speeds up to 1750 however it cannot handle my current Xfinity plan of 1200mbps and renders it useless. I now have to purchase another one. Online shows only able to handle up to 900 mbps.

    spent over $230 on this router and it only lasted 18 months, crashed in the midst of covid "work from home". . . So I guess it paid for itself over the monthly rental from Xfinity, but just barely .. disappointed.

    I was convinced to buy this as a replacement modem, but WiFi keeps knocking out my internet access to my cellphone. Tried getting help with this issue, but no one seems to know why it’s happening. Looks like I will return it and buy another modem.
