    I bought this item at Best Buy store they price match same product from Amazon. It took me about 10 mins to install after the technician from Comcast has installed the line. So far I haven't encountered any problem yet. I've been using it for a month now. When I did speed test with wired connection the result was 88 Mbps even though I have only 75 Mbps connection with Comcast. I'm very happy with the product. It's worth the money. My son and daughter does not have to fight anymore for the Internet speed even when both them are watching YouTube or play online games.

    I needed my own router/modem so I purchased one. It was supposed to be compatible with Comcast and it is. It's also half the size and weight of the one I used to rent from Comcast and it's faster, takes up less space and hasn't had to be rebooted yet. I like that it does its job flawlessly. I'm not asking for much 3xcept that it makes my electronics work efficiently and speedily and you know what? It sure does. Well worth the price!

    If you're going to be within 25 to 30 feet, this will suffice. I was trying to save money and not buy an expensive cable modem with built in Wi-Fi. However, I now regret not paying a little more for a better one.

    Perfect for Apartment - Cox service

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I weighed a couple of options between modem and router tandem setups vs cable modem wifi gateways and landed with this one. I decided to save a few bucks in the long run by getting the 1 piece system which works great with my setup - Cox Communications service with premium speeds. On wifi and hard wired, I get the same exact speeds when running diagnostics and always exceed what Cox has allocated for what I'm paying for. I'm in a pretty solid (albeit not brick) standard layout 1050 sq ft apartment and I don't see any drop in signal no matter where I am. We constantly run 2 phones, 2 laptops, a tablet, and 2 Xbox 360's on wifi and haven't had a single problem. Yes, two of almost everything used very often between gaming and streaming. Just as a note, be sure to download the NetGear Genie software onto your primary computer so that you can properly setup and manage your network and router settings. There was no problem getting it recognized and running on the Cox service. There was an automatic prompt when connecting that allowed me to get it synced with my service in <15 minutes (The cable guy ran out of patience and gave up, trying to get me to buy/rent their garbage generic one - I replied "no thanks," waited until he left and did it myself). SUMMARY - simple to setup - Genie software is easy and helpful - perfect for 1000 sq ft 1 floor apartment - connects multiple heavy devices without throttling or problems - easy to store around other devices - no loss in speed or signal - compatible with Cox cable service

    After going through a lot in internet i finally ended up using this product. The price seems to be reasonable. Range is more than i had expected. with dual band, i split the usage with laptops/mobile with consoles that require more band with. even shared, i still see the same speed across all the devices which i receive thru comcast.

    Great Netgear WIFI CABLE MODEM

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased for my daughter to replace Comcast wireless cable modem router and read reviews and thought that Netgear had the best reviews. Best Buy has a lot of customer reviews about their products which were consistent with other online reviews. It was extremely easy to set up and less expensive than another model so I was glad that Best Buy gave me some options on purchasing a WIFI Cable modem. It is working beautifully!!! The reviews about this cable modem vs another modem were very very helpful and helped me to make this choice. I am so glad I did choose a Netgear WIFI cable modem. I made this choice because of product reviews and I have always had good luck with Netgear products.

    Great Combo Device

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Spent a lot of time researching this device and was debating on saving money with a two in one device since I just have a small one bedroom apartment, or buying a really good router and modem separate. I am glad that I went with the first option. Not only did it save me money, but the router has excellent range out to my patio. It has gigabit Ethernet ports which are nice, and helps keep my Xbox updates quick. The router was very easy to setup, and the online admin is very easy to monitor, and find settings. It was also cheaper to buy the combo device than buying the N600 router with a comparable modem. Plus the best buy warranty is only $20 for it so even if it does malfunciton within the year I can just go straight back and replace it. Since TP-link doesn't have a combo device, this was the next best option. Moto's combo seemed to have higher failure rates, and this router was rated PC mags best router/modem combo. Overall, so far I am very pleased with the purchase and it has not dropped any connections, or slowed down one bit

    Great router&modem for the price

    If you don't have a lot of devices that are connected to the network at once, I feel this is a great device. Although if you are going to be streaming a lot I would recommend upgrading to an ac router instead of an n router, this will work fine for small households. The fact that it is a combo router and modem saves space, which I love a lot. The settings are pretty easy to configure, and there are a lot of features that I can tweak which matter to me a lot such as parental controls and timed access. Overall a good product for the money, if you are a small household or only need a few devices connected at one time. If you have a bigger house or need more than a few devices at a time, I would recommend upgrading to something bigger.

    It's only been a month since my purchase but I haven't had any issues with this router/modem combo. My bedroom and home office are at opposite ends of my long apartment and it was important to me that the quality of my internet service remains high in both rooms--I didn't want to have to prioritize between weekend netflix marathons in bed and accessing my work server remotely during the week. I placed this router/modem in the middle of my apartment beside my TV, and so far I haven't noticed any issues with the reception or interference, even when accessing the internet via multiple devices simultaneously. To be fair, there are only two of us living in the apartment so I don't know how it would work for a larger family but it's serving its purpose for me. I also love that it acts as both a modem and a router, eliminating the need for an additional device in my living room. It's as sleek and unobtrusive as you can expect for such a device and fits in well enough with my minimalist decor.

    Netgear has been on my radar for years. Most of the times, I would purchase the Apple product, but this time around, I decided that I needed my own cable modem. It's an added plus that this also has a wireless router. That said, this router has similar specs to the Apple Airport Extreme. I was willing to pay for the Apple, however, since I also needed a modem, Netgear has several models that would have worked. I have not had an issue with this unit. It is compatible with many cable companies, in which, can save me money. With its wire router capabilities, it is also about half the price over Apple's Airport Extreme (which does not have a modem). I save money from leasing a modem and have saved money because I do not have to purchase an Apple Airport Extreme. (Owner of an older Apple Airport Extreme, so I am aware of its performance.) The Netgear modem/router has a greater range than my Apple Airport Extreme which is an unexpected bonus. If you are ever considering a modem/router, this one comes highly recommended (regardless of what platform you use). No issues connecting to Apple tablets or mobile phones through the WIFI connection. No issues, no complaints, just a happy customer that is satisfied with his purchase.
