    I replaced my 10+ year old modem thinking it was the weakest link in my speed chain. I don't really notice much difference. This modem is good - not great. Works fine. But for low price that's all I should expect.

    This modem is definitely worth the money. It is far better than the modem you get from the provider. We have had no issues with it dropping connection.

    It boosted my internet speed by 10 mb down and 2 mb up plus I don't miss paying $8 per month on rental for the slow Twc modem . Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

    My previous modem wouldn't run anything faster than 35 Mb/s. This was a major upgrade and isn't even top of the line. It blinks a lot but that's the only negative.

    Just plug an play - no problems on the functional side. A bright led can be bothersome if you can see a device, otherwise - nothing to complain about.

    Purchased to replace a leased modem/Internet speed increase. Has been a good choice. Have had to reset it a couple of times to keep the speed at optimal levels.

    The Geek Squad guy connected this along with my new computer and printer so that I knew it was done right and everything worked, so I can't speak for how easy it was to connect etc... But it's working fine, and that's all I care about!
