    It was easy to install and easy to operate. It's only complaint I have the package didn't include the cable to connect from wall into the modem. I have to purchase it separately.

    I like this modem, it has 4 ports with the netgear router you can have a secondary connection, which helps when you have several devices streaming at the same time.

    Purchased for use on CableOne/Sparklight services, only to find out that they do not offer support of this device. With other cable internet providers this would be an awesome device.

    Paired this modem up with a Netgear - Nighthawk AX8 8-Stream AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 Router when I decided to cut the cable cord. Should be able to easily add SMART items to our home with now issue.
