    Took me a little bit to get it connected properly to a router, but after some fidgeting, I got it working, and it has been great since.

    I've had it about 2 months and I feel it's working perfectly. Saves you a ton of money instead of renting/ leasing one from your cable company.

    I recently picked up Comcast internet again and didn’t want to rent a modem from them. Net gear has historically made solid products and this modem does not disappoint.

    This product was recommended to me to work in conjunction with the Google Router. Unfortunately, having only one ether port did not work for my more advanced needs. However, looks like a great modem for simple usage.

    Cable company actually said to go buy a new modem rather than pay for renting. Asked the sales associate which one to get, he recommended this one. We have WiFi!

    This is a supplement to my NETGEAR Nighthawk and seems to work as intended. Solid workmanship and over time is definitely a cheaper alternative than renting from cable company

    I have 100mbps plan with xfinity and this is more than enough for that. Own your own modem so after your ISP contract, you have the choice of moving with the modem.
