    It works great for multiple hours then stops working. Power down and up then it works again for hours. I replaced it and same issue. Still waiting for Netgear to get back to me.

    Piece of junk

    This modem was easy to install and, as far as I know, worked according to spec when it worked. The one star comes from the fact that I owned this thing for 13 months. It was only in use for 6 months, as it was installed in my winter home in FL. After 6 months of use, it died. In my book, electronic productss that only work for 6 months are junk, this included. Should have bought the BestBuy warranty.

    Completely died after 3 months of normal use. A week outside Best Buy return window, and 3 days outside NetGear phone support window. I don't have time to wait around and ship it off to get fixed under warranty, so I'm buying a new one (Motorolla) in the meantime. Will sell this piece of crap online after NetGear ships it back to me.

    We own an investment property about three hours away and wanted to put in our own internet after Comcast gauged us. We got advice from the BestBuy rep and it wasn’t what we needed. We brought it back and it was past the two week window of return. Just unhappy with that part. No idea if this is a good product. It wasn’t what I needed but four week later later was too late.
