    Good modem but you’ll need a router if you are with Xfinity.

    I bought this modem to upgrade from an oldi modem. I was lured by the fact that o wouldn't have to call xfinity to set it up. Boy was I wrong. After 3 phone calls and about 8 hours I was finally able to get it set up. Works fine now, but maybe another brand would be easier.

    This one lasted 6 month, was slow and bogged down. a power surge killed it even though it was on a surge protector. Everything else on the same surge protector was fine. Weak!

    I have a Netgear router that works well and purchased the Netgear cable modem for compatibility. However, the Netgear cable modem may not be very compatible with Comcast cable.

    I could've sworn that the product description mentioned that this modem served as a modem/router combo, but I suppose I was mistaken. The return was simple, thank goodness for that.

    It only lasted consistently for one yr, but we were hard on it so... not sure if it was us or the product (Dropped a few times so maybe that led to defects)

    May have been a defective unit but the one I purchased was not being recognized by my service provider (xfinity) even though the packaging stated it would work. I spent over 45 minutes on the phone with support and they could do nothing to fix the problem so I returned the device and went with another brand.

    Constantly Dropped Internet

    2 to 3 times a day internet connection would be lost. Found some troubleshooting suggestions that pointed to the device losing DNS mapping. If I simply disconnected and reconnected the Ethernet cable between the modem and router (both Netgear) the issue would be resolved... for a few hours. Returned both Netgear devices and purchased a better solution for only $10 more. Connection has been solid for weeks!

    I had to buy TWO of these in one week!! Worst experience I've ever had with a cable modem ever! So disappointed with Netgear when it comes to this product. Front of the box has a picture of Time Warner Cable's logo but isn't compatible with their service!!!
