    This was the first Netgear product for me. It went bust in less than 24 hours. The modem felt really hot. I Googled it and find many other users have had overheating problem with the modem. In fact, I returned it and bought another Netgear modem (AC175) a wireless model. I am now having problems with it too. This time, the 2.4G no longer works. I also Googled it and find many users with several different Netgear products having the same problem of losing 2.4G. No more Netgear product me!

    I had this modem from March 2021 to now October 2022. It never gave any issues but suddenly stopped working 10/7/22. I don’t know what the life expectancy for this model, modems should last 2-3 years. I wish this one made it that long.

    This modem started to go out only a few months after the bestbuy return period expired, worked well for the few months we have had it, but stay away from this as its got planned obsolescence built in. I work from home allot, so now i need to dish out for another modem or risk my job due to a badly built modem.

    Sucks because we tried for 2 weeks and had to wait 10 days for Cox just to get someone out there to tell me that the line was fine and it was the modem that was the problem. By then I already went past Best Buy's stupid 14 return policy but at least they gave me store credit and price match Amazon for other purchases
