    Been using Netgear products for years, so added Netgear CM500 to go with my Netgear R6300 Wireless Router also purchased at Best Buy. When I need new tech products, I go to Best Buy.

    Was equivalent to new Xfi modem/router from Comcast. Wanted Comcast service in the event of any problems and they would not cover issues that they may say is caused by another vendor's product. Buy only if you can accept these service restraints.

    Had to replace my old modem due to a thunderstorm that knocked out my modem, router, pc's ethernet port, and printer's ethernet port. Chose to replace it with a NETGEAR product because I've always gotten good service from their products.

    It's a modem, it does what modems do. The lights are a little on the dim side. There was no manual with the modem, so unless you know what the pictographs mean you're flying blind. The bottom light constantly flashes red, which NetGear tells me is normal.

    After our other modem router combo died I went to get a new one separate from each other. Talked with a guy for 30 minutes whom was very helpful at the Appleton store. Went with this and a gaming router to fit all of our needs.
