    This router does work with time warner cable. I pay for 15 mbs download speed and was getting about 14 with their modem. Since I bought this modem I am getting 17.5 mbs speeds. (This was using a custom PC for tests prior to this purchase and after) can give you speeds of over 600 mbs if you can get fiber optics.

    Working fine. Straightforward setup. I like the fact that it is slightly raised on the stand, makes it easier to prevent overheating.

    I have always chose Netgear for all my networking needs and decided to try out their route. It didn’t disappoint one bit! Right away I saw a speed increase and it’s a lot more reliable as well. Definitely would recommend going with this router over the other similar options

    This should be a ok product. You also need a router to use Wi-Fi. It’s more convenient to have a combination of modern and Wi-Fi router.

    This review is simply a statement of fact. I unboxed it and plugged it in and it worked. However, I returned this item once I realized the issue was not the previous router; as first suspected. So, I got my money back and went with the Motorola I had bought. When Comcast got its act together, both modems worked great. So, I can at least say that much about this item.

    Good Future Proof Purchase For A Fair Price

    This cable modem is a very good choice for people who want to shave cost off their monthly cable bill and the modem's ability to support up to 680 Mbps means that when higher speed cable internet becomes more affordable you can easily opt for the speed bump without the need to purchase a new cable modem.

    When you follow the instruction this is a real easy setup. Works great with my Netgear nighthawk. Bought this to replace my Motorola MG7550 which is a great modem/router but its incompatible with some of my tech (Nintendo Products).

    The speed of this modem is great, but after a couple weeks I noticed that my internet kept dropping out. If you unplug the device and let it cool down (it gets quite warm), the connection is very solid. I don't have the modem in an warm area, so I'm probably going to have get an RMA from Netgear.

    Had it now for half a year and works great! My Arris went out that Charter gives out and it was going to take days to get another one, so got this from Best Buy and it has been wonderful. I expect this to last a very long time like the rest of the Netgear stuff I have.

    This is a very fast modem, I am getting 61 Down 6 Up with my Time Warner Cable 50/5 plan so this is a very fast modem and will give you all the speed you pay for plus 20% in my case. Buy it!

    Moved into apartment were AT&T internet was not available (which is what I had) so I had to get cable internet. My past dealings with the cable co were less than stellar so I resisted but setting it up was easy and it works fine so far. The cable co started charging me a rental fee for a purchased modem (see what I mean) so I cleared that up but the modem works fine.

    I purchased this so that it was compatible with some of RCN's higher bandwidth plans. Simple to get registered with their network. I software interface is fairly simple, but a vast majority of people will never even see it. It's basically plug and play for 99% of people.
