    It works, but it freezes up my Internet, kind of disappointed. I think they’re just making these things cheaper and cheaper so they can still charge an arm and leg for something.

    Setup was challenging due to setup URL not being secure (HTTPS). Then the wifi connections would not stay connected.

    Was hoping this modem was going to be good. But constant internet drops. I shouldn't have to restart it twice a day.

    If I could give negative stars I would... For the price you pay, this Wi-Fi will barely reach across the house. Tried to use it for about 24 hours. Purchased separate modem and router, and range is so much better. Went ahead and returned this product, and one thing Best Buy can't do is refund. The website says refunds in 5 days, however on the phone they say 10-15 days. I have never in my life waited 15 days for a refund.

    After one year, this has slowed down dramatically with no other changes of electronics on the network. It is a total waste of money as far as I'm concerned.

    Repeatedly lost Wi-Fi

    This unit operated normally for all of one day! After that, the router repeatedly dropped the Wi-Fi signal multiple times a day, requiring unplugging the power cord and then restoring the power. The unit ran extremely hot and even having a fan ventilating it failed to prevent the Wi-Fi dropout!

    Was advised by Best Buy employee that this was what I required to replace the one I had. Had to return to the store to purchase the correct one.
