Many appreciate its good price and reliable WiFi, while also noting strong signal strength and good coverage. However, some users experienced intermittent connection issues. A few also mentioned that the device runs warm and has a limited number of Ethernet ports.

    the hardest part was calling my ISP and getting them to put the modem in their system.

    This modem/router combo is amazing. The setup was easy and I haven't had any issues with it so far. Not much else to say, I'm not that "techy" and I found this easy to setup. Also works great in our two bedroom apartment with at least 5 devices on it!

    I'm a disappointed in the performance because I have to unplug and restart it at least once a week because of wifi issues. When it is working it is great.

    The price was very reasonable and it's small and compact. It is the same brand my cable company would have used if I was paying a monthly fee for its use.

    Bought this so that we wouldn't pay for renting the equipment from our local cable provider. It works good. Does not knock us off like our old one did.

    I bought this to replace the Comcast modem provided with their service, for improved speed and removing the monthly rent. It’s been fantastic. I use it on bridge mode with my AirPort Extreme and I’ve had no drops or dead zones.

    This is a great, easy to use modem with built in wifi! Excellent speeds. Comcast, however, recently placed this model on a non-supported list and messed up the bootfile, causing this modem to top out around 30 Mbps. This was solely Comcast's fault.

    was suggested by a best buy sales clerk to replace the one we had from cable company that we rented each month. This one much exceeds that and we are so glad we purchased it and save on the monthly fee of the other with much better results

    Setup is fast and easy, performance is solid and the administration interface provides plenty of settings options. I replaced an older Netgear router with this one and the performance and reliability improvement was instantly noticeable.

    Needed new router, and this one was recommended by the technicians at Best Buy. They definitely knew what they were talking about, as it is perfect. :-)
