    Junk. Hook up but my download speed was cut in half. I spent a lot of time on the phone with net gear techs and they could figure it out. they told me to bring it back. I did and no luck with a new one. I ended up just getting a pod from comcast. problem solved and it was the same price

    Finally got this thing to work, but the network always drops. Also the speed is almost reduce by 50%. It’s pointless to use this. Connecting directly to the router was the only way.
