    The set up was pretty easy. What I don't like is that we get kicked off the wifi a lot and takes a long time to reconnect.

    Kind of a pain to set up initially but after that it's worked flawlessly. Good choice for Xfinity gigabit.

    I was thrilled to return the two Xfinity TV boxes and router I’d been renting for years and had most certainly paid for a million times over. XFINITY’s last price increase included an increase on all that old equipment - that was persuasive enough for me. Wish I’d known about this option sooner.

    It was easy to set up and change passwords for the 2.4G versus 5G service. It meets my needs for wifi/internet/streaming services. The sales associate at the Martinsburg Best Buy was knowledgeable and helped identify a router to match my requirements.

    I've had it up and running for several days now and it is great - very fast. The only issue I can add is the mobile app to get it installed was glitchy and caused some stress but once I was provisioned by my ISP it was a piece of cake to get it going.

    It was easy to install for someone who has no knowledge nor cares to have knowledge in the techno world. You do have to have your service company out to sync it. Has a very strong range in my 1942 brick home, which my last modem router did not have as strong of an output.

    Excellent modem/ router combo. Had to recently upgrade because my previous one was 5 year old and this one has exceeded all expectations. Great for gaming. Well above 400mbps which works perfect for my apartment
