    So happy to return Xfinity’s equipment and replace with this and eero pro. I’m finally getting the high speeds I am paying for. It’s been six months and I haven’t had a single problem. The X1 modem/router was so unreliable. The new system is A++++

    Needed to replace my ARRIS surfboard modem as it couldn't go above 650mbps. This modem is phenomenal, hasn't skipped a beat - activated easily with xfinity, and I haven't needed a single restart. Works really well with other Netgear products - especially Orbi as the router,

    This was the only option since I have a cable phone and I did not want a modem / router combination. Setup was very easy and this modem is much faster than my old one that was leased through the cable company. It is also saving me $14 a month in lease fees to the cable company.

    Now that I have the modem in place 2 month later it works great. However, it took a failed install by me, failed install by xfinity on line assistance, failed install by a tech at my house, and then reprogramming in the xfinity system so that i could finally install the modem 2 months later.

    Modem works well. This is actually my second one, the first one burned out due to being in a confined area with the wife’s electric heater next to it.

    Much better than Comcast modem/router, which regularly needed reset and caused streaming devices to often buffer. This modem consistently measures, using Ookla Speedtest, at 930Mbps on computer connected by ethernet cable. Now no devices experience buffering.

    Great Modem approved by Comcast/Xfinity

    This modem is one of the few approved by Comcast/Xfinity if you do not want to use their equipment and also have a landline. I like Netgear equipment in general so was happy it was one of the choices. It was easy to setup following the included instructions although you do need to download the Xfinity and Netgear apps on your smartphone. Performance is better than expected and I am now getting over 900mbs download speed over a cat 5e cable. I also purchased the Netgear Nighthawk AX5 AX4200 Router when I upgrade to this modem.

    Replaced my old Arris modem that kept slowing down. This Netgear modem is rock solid. It hasn't had any issues with losing connection and consistently delivers over 1 Gb connection. Easy to set up and only took 10 minutes to get my Xfinity service back up and running.
