    Bought this one because I was tired of the Motorola and zoom modem/ routers not working. This modem/router works great, yeah it's expensive, but totally worth it. My mac always stays connected and the coverage area is fantastic.

    We needed a new router and modem so we bought the combo. Not sure if it is our cable company or this unit, but we do have to reboot it once a week. It does handle the security system as well as our network printer, TVs, and computers.

    Love having the modem and router in one. I was hoping to improve my WIFI but the cable company just keeps slowing it down. Straight hook up is wonderful.

    I purchased this to replace the modem/router that I was renting from the cable company. Very pleased with speed of the wifi as we have 5 devices running on it ... much better than the cable one plus I'm saving $10/month.

    Bought this modem after getting tired of paying $10 monthly for Xfinity modem. What an improvement on speed and range. Definetly worth the money! If you want to not lose speed that youre paying for I suggest you buy this modem.

    It is easy to set up at my end, but I have to call my effinity to activate. It take time to have your cable provider to set it up at their end.

    Good router for the most part. The Wi-Fi has a tendency to go down multiple times a week. I'm not sure if it's the internet service.

    This router is excellent for what I needed. Used some Best Buy points to use toward the purchase so it wasn't too pricey for me. Save money in the long run by not having to rent a router/modem from the cable company.

    All in all, I am happy with the product. With that said, if you have any technical acumen, don't get a combo. Further, depending on the packaging, you may be told that this modem has QoS (quality of service) capability, which allows you to monitor router traffic to your devices. IT DOES NOT! Also, while unrelated to the quality of this particular product, it is approved for Comcast. With that said, the QoS comment is pertinent if you have a 1 TB capped data plan with Comcast. Otherwise, you have to 'trust' their data usage (and if you troll the forums, this is a concern among Comcast subscribers).

    worth buying.you should also buy a backup battery.we bought in case of power outages or surges.was told over time those surges damage your router.just a little fyi to think about.

    It did speed up the internet speed, but I am honestly unsure if my issues are with spectrum being a garbage internet provider, or net gear being sub par.

    Bought this dual band router as a replacement for a router that was starting to have problems. This router offers stable wireless connections for both bands. Also the service was great when I called Netgear.
