    Unfortunately this didn’t work out well for me. I have 200 Mbps speed with the company and it didn’t push this past 100. I also had several drops. I work from home a lot. My calls were getting dropped. I switched to the cable company provided one and stopped using this.

    Great in theory but slow. Go with the 800 or whichever one the bigger one is.

    I purchased this to replace my Comcast modem and save $10/mo in equipment rental. Seems like I'm waiting longer for websites to load is the only real issue I'm having. Maybe it's my router, I don't really know. But I didn't experience these issues until I made the switch.
