    Replacement for Optimum rented Modem

    This modem is compatible with Optimum's rental model, so at $10/month, I'll break even in 5 short months. Works the same, if not better than the Optimum version. Easy to setup - just required a quick call with Optimum.

    This has always been a dependable, easy to use modem. I have used them a number of times in a number of different settings in the past. Never had an issue until now (no fault of the Netgear device). The only issue currently is the DOCSIS 3.0 when most new connectivity is 3.1. Otherwise, always been happy with these and they work well on just about any Comcast/Xfinity circuit.

    Replaced an ancient TWC router. Much better performance and saving 10 bucks a month. It pays for itself after 12 months.

    Not much to say here. It does what it's supposed to, with the signal strength advertised. Not a lot of bells and whistles.
