    No problems, Easy set-up. We went from cable to DSL, so new modem/router was required. Happy so far.

    I looked up this model and it said it was compatible with Century Link, DISH said it wasn't. It wasn't all that easy to set up, but we got it to work, until a power outage happened. Now it keeps dropping the bt/wifi signal. It did seem faster than the N router/modem, until the power outage, now it is slow to respond and signal drops consistently.

    My older Netgear Modem-Router was about to out. That model was no longer available so I bought this one. Considering I'm using DSL it works very well. A lot faster than the old one I had. I probably would've given it a higher rating if I wasn't working with DSL and had a little more to compare it to. I'm very happy with my purchase.

    Needed a router to work with my fiber internet service that would supply excellent signal in a very old house. This one is working great - no more dropped internet!

    Was told I could just "plug it in and use it." by salesperson and my internet provider. (Centurylink). Spent about four hours on the phone with tech support from Netgear and Centurylink. After it was up and running I find that I do not have the signal strength of the older router I replaced but the speed is better.

    Although I appreciated the assistance when we came in looking for a new modem, I ended up having to return it; it was not compatible with the newer software that Centurylink is, at long last, using. I also appreciated the hassle-free return, however!
