    It works as expected and will pay for itself in a few months. It beats paying the monthly rent for a modem from your internet provider.

    Overall it seems to work well. Every once in a while there's a short interruption, but it's not really possible to tell if that's caused by the modem, wifi or incoming connection.

    Only used once to test cable internet; turns out Comcast stopped my internet with a cable filter and didn't share the information. Thus I returned the modem.

    This router is the best I've ever had. Our wireless signal is strong throughout the entire apartment and never boots any of our devices. Highly recommend!

    I like the fact that this does not have any wires. It works well, the sound is great, and I even took a shower with it, and it was fine. I recommend this.

    Decent router. Vanilla. No telephone connection. But it does pump 151 MBPS around our house reliably.

    I have no regrets on purchasing this product. It was a little slow to find a connection but I think that might be due to my cable company. After the initial setup, I have had no problems.

    Decided to stop leasing a modem from the cable company and got this after researching the best choices. My only critique is the lack of comprehensive setup instructions. Other than that, it's awesome.

    My new cable provider required a version 3 cable modem. Since I already had a Netgear router, I got the Netgear cable modem.

    If you want to save money from your cable bill, this modem does the job. It’s versatile and looks nice. Not sure if it would survive a fall from 5 feet into a hard surface
