    I took this back. I was trying to eliminate the cost to lease my cable modem. After a number of attempts to activate this modem on TWC. It did not work.....trying a different modem. TWC confirmed this model was listed as compatible.

    I returned this item because I purchased it with a router and could not get the remote access application to work. NetGear support is terrible and it is only good for 90 days beyond that you have to pay. Stick with Linksys.

    Bought this for my new Xfinity service but once the technicians got everything connected, the Apple Router that I connected to this modem couldn't get any internet. Had to return it.

    It worked great until it didn’t. Had it a little over 6 months and it worked fine until today when it just died. Will not turn on. Save yourself the money and headache and buy something else

    I purchased this modem because it was on the approved list for time warner. I was never able to get it to connect. I returned it and purchased a Motorola modem. The cost was higher but connected on first try.
