    Bought this unit to replace one issued by CenturyLink. This one is definitely faster but no more powerful. I have an old, 90-year old house that is solid. The signal, like the modem issued by CenturyLink is spotty upstairs and has a critical dead spot in my niece's room. Has to buy a $40 Net Gear extender unit to get wifi upstairs. About 2 weeks use and no problems except said limited range. Connection speeds and reloads are definitely improved.

    I love the team at Beaumont Best Buy. Any time I go in with a question, they show me all of my options and direct me towards the best choice. They have not let me down yet! This works great, we have a big house and we worried about wi-fi with 6 people using their devices all at once, but we have not had any problems at all.

    works a lot better than the 7 yr old router that I had - Had to have an extender before in order to reach from one end of my house to the other(1700 fT), now everyone gets better reception and speed- we also get more reliable streaming service- less drop-outs

    This router was pretty easy to set up for Comcast's service. I bought it because I wanted the best range I could get from a combination router/modem. I live in Philadelphia so I thought the technologies would be able to cut through some of the city "noise." It does so pretty well, except for the far end of my 1st floor apartment. Had to re-purpose an old Airport Extreme as a range extender via Powerline Network adapters to hit my bedroom. All is good now.

    The Xfinity installation man had a compatability problem. Not sure if he was just trying to sell their router or not. Since I was not there where I could see what was going on, I could not argue with him. I thought it was a damned fine router but then again I was not there.

    Bought this router when one provided by Xfinity wasn't working well. Now I no longer pay $13 month to rent their device. This one will pay for itself in no time. This router works just fine with Xfinity internet service.

    I’m glad I purchase this as compared to 4 other options and even this is really good when it comes to considering best quality to use in mid size house and you really don’t need any other items to connect your entire house

    very good modem and router combo. The only problem was connecting my son"s Xbox, which I bought the netgear extender. All other gaming systems, computers and tablets work fine with th wireless connection.

    I bought this router based on the recommendation of a Best Buy team member. He explained how there were 2 networks that could be setup from the same router and it had advanced security features. This sounded all great but setting it up was a nightmare for someone who isn't tech savvy. However, now that it's set up and working it works GREAT. We have 4 smart TVs, 2 iPhones, 1 iPad, 2 laptops, and a RING doorbell connected and it works very well.

    I'm not a tech person. My old router died and needed new one. Decided to replace my modem at the same time. Geek squad came out and installed it and is working fine. My old router lasted 8 years so I buy instead of renting from comcast and save money over time.

    We had endless connectivity problems, finally invested in this new modem and it is fantastic! If you are an Comcast/Xfinity customer and you've had the technicians out to no avail...this modem is your solution. Older modems cannot process the higher speeds of modern internet as well as this one can. Problem solved!

    I'm happy with this product as it covers my entire home without issues. I'm finally able to use ALL of my devices on this single router/modem. I use Comcast (I know it sucks but what are you gonna do when you live in a monopolized area, get satellite internet? I rather sell my soul to the devil that is Xfinity) and wanted some degree of control over my fate so I bought this instead of use theirs and pay that stupid 10 dollar fee per month.

    Best router/modem I have ever used. Has great features, works very well. Compact size, strong reliable signal, easy setup. Saves space instead of having router and modem seperate and may pay for itself eventually for those who rent a router from their internet provider. I solidly recommend this model.

    I wasn't sure if I wanted to get this, as it is both a router and modem in one. But it was at a good price, and the brand is a good one, and the salesman recommended it. I'm glad I went with it. Easy to set up, no problems at all in connecting to my internet service and providing wifi to my apartment.
