    I've had no issues with this modem/wifi router, 7 years and counting. Saves me hundreds of dollars since I didn't have to pay my internet provider a monthly rental fee for theirs. It paid itself off after one year because of Best Buy's unbeatle plrice and rewards certificates.

    Great Cable Modem and Gigabit Router

    Dollars saved using this Cable Modem and Gigabit Router and your owning your modem is better, in my opinion, than paying a cable company their monthly fee. I do strongly recommend the Geek Squad warranty just in case something happens.

    I bought two of these modems for two different locations, one with Comcast and one with Time Warner. Both units work fast and reliable when using direct cable, but both are totally unreliable on wifi. I have tried changing settings and channels, but still have numerous problems and the modems need to be reset almost daily.

    Drops wifi signal

    I bought this is December and would preferred a Netgear router but store was sold out of Netgear. Took it back 4 weeks later because it consistently would drop wifi signal every few minutes and my husband was going nuts. The hard wire connection was not much better. Replaced with a Netgear today and so far no problems.

    I bought this to replace an older Motorola Surfboard that I needed to upgrade per Comcast. The old unit had great range, bandwidth was low compared to what's available today. With the success that I had with my first one, I thought that I could not go wrong... I did. Range dropped off to nothing two walls and thirty feet away. Replaced with split units from Netgear. Still not happy with the Netgear N600 wireless range, but it was better than this unit and the speed is great. If wireless range is important to you, do your homework and do not go cheap. You will be back to BestBuy.

    Its good, but it doesn't seem to have the reach that the other wifi router had. Other than that is was a good buy because it waa almost half off MSRP.

    We haven't had any issues with this product. Sometimes our internet is a little slow, but that could just be due to our internet service provider. I'm not sure.

    We were tired of having a mediocre router and then paying a monthly fee for a garbage modem from a provider so we looked this one up. It had such awesome reviews that we decided to go for it. It is a little more spendy than others but it's an all in one and we liked that. Saves space too. And soo far it's great!
