Great combo for the price, make sure you check with your service providers, found out that Spectrum will no longer support Modems 3.0.

At first, my review wasn't going to be pretty. I hooked up the router, chatted with Spectrum Support and within 5 minutes the rep have me the thumbs-up... then everything went SOUTH quick. I could connect with the router but there was no internet. Proceeded to chat with Spectrum support again and after a long winded back and forth the rep suggested I should get a service call but since the modem wasn't theirs the service charge would be my responsibility.
I called Netgear support and the rep spent over an hour with me doing some updates within the modem setup url. After multiple dropped calls, the rep called me back everytime... very impressive! But the final prognosis was to have a spectrum service call. Well I told him I'll probably return the modem instead of incurring a service charge from Spectrum.
I went back to chat and expressed my frustration and mentioned I found a google search where a Spectrum rep solved the problem. I was convinced they were doing something that was blocking the internet to the modem so I would settle for their devices. The representative asked me for the MAC address again and came back and said I should be all set... and it WAS!!!!
The support person said the mac address I provided earlier in the day wasn't entered into the correct system whatever that means but the rep said it was their fault since they entered the MAC address in the wrong area.
I wasn't expecting to put many hours into what should of been a 15 install and activation.
The Netgear support was very impressive and even though they weren't able to get my connection going, the time spent troubleshooting my issue was held in high regard.
Again, don't give up make sure they are putting the MAC address into the right system.

First modem & router that I bought opposed to renting one from comcast or AT&T. Found it on sale for $50.00 off.
Hooking it up was fairly easy. It was set up at one end of the house in the basement which was finished. The signal was ok upstairs at the other end of the house. Been running for about a month so far, no issues so far.

I’m very happy with this purchase. The setup is easy, and the signal has been strong and consistent so far. I have had absolutely no problems. I have noticed that devices seem to access content faster now. I recommend this.

Absolutely love this product! Super easy to set up! You can change the name and password for the WiFi. Also has an app that allows you to control the router/modem right from your phone. Great option at a great price!

I needed to replace my old Netgear cable modem/ router because it stopped working after 5 years (got good use out of it). I decided to get the newer version of my old model and it did not disappoint. We currently run all of our televisions (4), our computers / laptops tablets (4), our Alexa devices (5), and our phones (5) off the new Netgear modem router with zero issues! I would recommend this Netgear modem router if you are in the market for one, you won't be disappointed.

So...originally I had the AC1700 which was recommended to me by some NOC guys where I work to replace the fees and unreliability of xfinity modem router combo. The AC1700 would drop its Wifi broadcast consistently after connecting w/ my Lenovo Yoga 710 -15ikb. I decided to take it back and pay a little more for the this AC1900 and it was the best choice I have made to date. Easy setup and completely reliable. Xfinity router/modem was dropping my signal at least once a week. AC1900 is a workhorse and completely stable with consistent 75-90 speeds any time of day. Save the lease fee for a sub-par cable provider modem/router combo and buy this thing.
Pros:
RELIABILITY, SPEED, and EASY SETUP (security and parental control)
Setup was very simple and easy. Compatibility with all my devices, desktops, and laptops.
Netgear Genie Phone and PC app makes modification and configuration a breeze.
Cons:
Price...but you can find it on sale if outside your budget.

I highly recommend getting this router over anything that your ISP (i.e. Comcast) would provide to you. This will save you money by not having to rent the router, so it pays for itself in a way. It's easy to setup and very fast.

The easiest way I can describe this is "tech is obsolete the second it leaves the store". Almost like cars, it loses value and gets revised and replaced so quickly it that often times it's best to get more than you need if you can get a good deal. Best Buy was great about matching a lower advertised price at the time of purchase, which closed the deal for me and saved me a drive across town.
At home we run a 300mbps connection through TWC. We run 2 cellphones, 2 laptops, 1 wifi printer, 1 tablet, 1 smart TV, and 1 Roku device all over this modem/router. Operation has been flawless. Connection is fast as would be expected. Set was easy!
My advice, you'll end up paying an average of $10 a month for a rented modem/router from the cable company ($120 for the year), that won't perform nearly as good and at the end of the service you'll have to return to the cable company. Plus getting them to upgrade their device is like pulling teeth. Pay a little more, and own it, and go overkill so you're satisfied and the device don't get outdated quickly.
Great buy.

wow, very good router, good range, and fast! easy to setup, and lots of customization. Also works fine if you decide to plug in a mesh network into it.

I bought this after a little research and am very pleased with it's performance, it may be a little over kill for my 2/2 apartment but I have zero problems with range. it will support to 960mbps so it's pretty future proof as the internet standard becomes faster and faster.

I was tired of paying to rent a modem. I was looking for a modem/ router combo. I read many reviews both on BestBuy website and others. The reviews on the modem were great. I purchased this modem and went home to install it and was very impressed how easy it was to install. I set up multiple wifi's for my home. One for guest. One for my family and one that was just dedicated for my Amazon Fire sticks. I had. I issues to switch out the routers and modems. It was easier to set up the modem and router than it was to reconnect my wireless thermostat. The stability is amazing. I have been running it none stop for several weeks and haven't had to reset it one time. I was having to reset the Comcast modem multiple times a day. The speed both for wired and wireless connect is also greater. I can run multiple wireless connections and can't not tell a drop in the speeds. Absolutely please with this purchase!

Works well.I was hesitant to replace my modem but really glad I did..this has been much more stable and robust.i am with Comcast Xfinity and it is really easy to set up. Scan a barcode with your phone and it connects, much faster than I expected.

We used to have the Comcast rental for our internet and as usual it's garbage! We purchased this netgear modem and it's been so reliable ever since! We live in a 2 story home and we have no dead zones and our internet goes at the proper speed. Definitely recommend.
