    The warranty is worthless

    This router worked great for 6 months. I began having connectivity and speed issues at that time. I called my internet provider who came to my house and determined the issue was not a provider issue, but it was a problem with the router itself. They suggested I call Netgear, since the router has a 1 year warranty. In the mean time I rented the latest and greatest router from my internet provider. It works better than the Netgear ever worked. Upon calling Netgear I was told that my router definitely had a software issue which they could immediately fix remotely for $100. The Netgear warranty DOES NOT cover software issues which apparently developed sometime during the first 6 months of use. IT seems odd that my old router or the cable company router DID NOT have software issues like the Netgear router developed during the covered warranty period. Buyers beware. Netgear warranty does not cover softwear issues!

    When I brought this product home, I set it up with relative ease. Everything seemed to hook up nicely until I got to my husband's computer. No matter what I did, I could not get it to connect. I called customer service and they looked into my system and said that they would only help me if I paid them $105 for a one year service contract for them to configure their router to our system.

    I had Comcast on the phone before powering the device. It took home about 10 minutes to ad serial number and MAC address he told me when to plug things in then everything worked great.

    Less Than Perfect

    Installation was incredibly easy. I bought this product with the guidance of a Best Buy team member, and I allowed him to lead me to believe that the range on this modem/router would be incredibly wide and cover an entire home. Of course, this wasn't the realization and the range, even though the box states it as well, that it's superior range, fell below expectations. I guess people need to spend more to get more range of coverage.

    First time using a combo router/modem. A sales associate said they don't last long. The single modem we had lasted close to five years. Their were signs that it needed replaced.

    I wanted to get rid on that dreadful monthly fee comcast charges you so I bought this modem. It works great, no issues. It actually a lot better of a modem than comcast gives you.

    Have had several "drop offs" of my WiFi system.

    I don't know if it's the new Netgear Router/Modem or my Cox WiFi connection, but I never had "drop offs" with my old Netgear device and I have been losing my WiFi connection frequently since installing the new one. I paid the higher price for this Dual-Band Router thinking I was assured of a good connection. I'm still working on trying to find out what the cause of the drop offs has been. I cannot recommend the product at this time.
