Modem appeared to work good except that I was told by Century Link that they could support any modem other than their own brand - so had to do my own installation and set up

This is a good router for the basic user. It does what I need it to and the price was pretty good. We upgraded to higher speed and this did support it.

This modem worked for our new Century Link internet, which was what I was shooting for. The range of it isn't perfect, but it works pretty well none-the-less.

I bought this to replace an Actiontec modem/router, and this seems to be a little more reliable for the Wi-Fi, and I like the genie feature, and it looks pretty nice too.

Living in a rural area, our internet doesn't work the greatest and there aren't many options. We bought this modem/router hoping the update would make a difference. It did!! While things still aren't as fast as we'd like, this item helped tremendously.

My older dsl router/modem was bogging down and causing lag in games and general use. This this was a snap to install and set up. It's exponentially faster. I was going to buy a separate router and modem...this made for less cords and things to plug in.

I purchased the Netgear - Ac1600 Wireless-ac Vdsl/adsl Modem And Router for my Computer for DSL. I replaced the old AT&T model that kept on crashing. Netgear runs much better, except AT&T DSL is terrible. I will be looking into Cable Internet very soon.

This modem/router was exactly what I needed. It was difficult finding one since I needed a dsl one but I went to best buy and they knew exactly what I was looking for. My Internet speeds have increased and it takes less time to load videos to stream.

We needed a new router and decided to get this ONE instead of using two. Set up was relatively easy, even for me as I'm a novice when it comes to doing things like this. After working out some internet issues with Verizon, Everything is Working great

The Netgear product works great based on my normal use age. It is located upstairs, but I see no drop off in performance when downstairs.

The router was great and easy to hook up had to call customer support to answer a question and they helped me through my problem. I ended up having to return it because our internet speed wasn't good enough for the router to work correctly.

Our dsl router went out and I got this one as replacement. The dual bandwidth is really good in our house considering our internet speed. The old router usually slowed around 10pmish but so far this one has been great with no drop out in speed.

I'm glad I researched before I purchased because unlike the phone companies junky ones they rent you, it doesn't lose the Internet and cause irruptions in my security cameras and ecobee thermostat which is critical to my business.

Glad I let the sale guy help me choose this product cause without him I was lost, plus he help me save money. Instead of buying two different modem and router he said all in one would be better and it was. Thanks Best Buy
