    This modem was easy to set up as we are technically challenged! Well worth the investment not to pay the cable company rent on one.

    Great WiFi, But Poor Internet Performance

    This this router/modem combo almost 3 years ago when it was at the full price of $279. The Good: Great WiFi range in a 3400 sq ft 2 story home with a basement. No dead spots, even with the router/modem located in the basement utility room. Internet performance was great the first couple of months. The Bad: Started dropping connections after a couple of months. Web pages would frequently time out, and video streaming would cut off sporadically, but I would give it a few minutes and everything would be fine again. This was a daily occurrence. Thought it was my Xfinity service, and the new neighborhood that we just moved into. I didn't opt for the extended warranty with BestBuy and the 1 year warranty had long expired, so I put up with it until last week and bought a replacement Motorola MG7550 (also from BestBuy). What a difference that made. Makes me mad that I put up with the Netgear router/modem for so long. The Ugly: All electronic devices run the risk of going bad. But sometimes a particular product seems to have a higher rate of failure than others. And while some manufactures make the warranty process very easy, others do not. After looking at reviews for several retail sites it would seem that the Netgear C7000 higher failure rate than most, and attempting to get warranty service is equally as challenging. Overall: As long as the C7000 doesn't go bad, this router/modem combo is a solid performer. I would just recommend the extra BestBuy warranty protection though.

    Great features but questionable strength...

    I have this in my office and it works great for that side of the house, it is a single story 2000 sq ft home, but signal in bedroom, about 60' away down a hall is 2-3 bars, would have thought this would have a stronger broadcast. Has a very solid feature set for configuring network and monitoring data usage. DId have to add an extender to the other side of the house, about midway so I had good coverage. Should probably have spent that extra $50 and gone with a modem/router with stronger broadcast.

    Good alternative to modem—>router connection

    Used this to try to get the best speeds on my 100mbps service. I did have a very old router and the cable company confirmed the modem could be updated. I tried updating the router to a used one that was newer but still had my speeds cut in half downstream. Changed to the nighthawk modem router and constant my get 95-114mbps over WiFi. I have had one instance in about a month span where speeds dropped significantly and power cycling the modem/router fixed the issue. This is the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars - not sure how stable it will be for the future, but that was the only hiccup.

    Our supplied XFinity router/modem was only getting us 2 up and down, but with this we were hitting over 200 down and around 30 up. For a relatively cheap price, this is a good choice for sure.
