    Setup Issues

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It is impossible to set up this modem if your computer does not have an ethernet port. Many computers are doing away with this, because of this I was not able to set up this device.

    Had been using this for about a year...and during that time and many issues. When my speed dropped and several routers were changed....I replaced this Netgear crap with Motorola. Amazing difference in performance. Not a fan of anything Netgear actually.

    Don't purchase! This is garbage.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This modem is only capable of having the IP address of 192.168.100.1 and cannot be changed. Does not matter if you're running on 10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x or anything else for that matter. You have to use their IP address and cannot change it. Plan on returning tomorrow. The only thing you can control on this modem is the password . Find a better modem!

    Just get the extended warranty

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Works well... until it fails. These things are notorious for failing in 1-2 years, so be aware of this. I would recommend the extended warranty (something that usually isn't worth getting).

    Not friends with Samsung

    Apparently Netgear and Samsun don't play nice together. So if you have a Samsung TV/Monitor be wary and do your research

    This modem stated it worked with xfinity. I bought it the day I had xfinity installed and neither the installer or I could get the cable/internet to work with this modem hooked up.

    Could’ve been Better

    When I tried to connect it to my xfinity account, they told me that the modems serial number was already in use. I bought the modem new, so I thought. Customer service was great, I got my money back without any issues.
