    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.

    Seems to work better than the modem/router we were renting from our ISP at a much lower cost.

    Our old motorola died one day, so we need a router/modem in a hurry. Got this as i thought it would serve our household, and my remote working spouse. Worked great for a month, but now having lag issues on zoom calls, the 2g band drops out, and wifi lag at the back of our small 1100 sqft house. Outside of return window. So gotta dump it and get something else. Really bummed at this product!

    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.

    While the setup was generally simple, the fact that my in-laws do not have a smart phone made this terribly convoluted. It resulted in setting up the modem as myself and then go through several adminstration changes to get the account back in their name. Speed, etc, are all acceptable.

    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
