    Bought on 28 August, installed on 5 September. It worked for about five days and won’t stay online. Had Sparklight come out and check lines twice said it was the router Best Buy won’t take it back because it’s over 14 days old. called the manufacturer yesterday spent about an hour working on trying to get it to work. It worked for about 20 hours now it’s going on and off again and nobody at the manufacturer to help me out on the weekend. They say it’s not defective But obviously, somethings wrong. Looks like I’m stuck with a modem that nobody wants to stand behind in less than 30 days. Very disappointed in Best Buy. Both companies lost a customer in me.

    Does not work well with Xfinity. Connections through Ethernet or Wi-Fi is extremely unstable and loses connection frequently. Had to power cycle daily, sometimes multiple times in one day. This is after a painful setup process.

    Got this to replace my existing Xfinity cable modem/router so I could drop the monthly rental charge. The speed is great....when it works. Wi-Fi seems to randomly drop everyother day. Devices that are plugged in to the RJ-45 ethernet jacks stay connected but all of the wireless connections lose internet. To bring wi-fi back up you have to literally reset the device by pushing a pin into the back reset hole. I've fussed and fussed with it and the return period was only thirty days so I'm stuck with it and its a $250 piece of equipment!

    Perhaps my setup but the 5G signal is only good in a small range and the non-5G is weak in the corners of my house. Was hoping to avoid multiple devices but I had to invest more to get full coverage for work from home requirements.
