    Garbage

    Spent $200 to have a router that disconnects devices multiple times per day with the only fix being a complete reboot. Random power cycling also happens once every couple days. Contacted support about the issue. No help from them. After some research I found out these routers are notorious for this. Fell victim to the posotive reviews on Best Buy site. If I wouldn't have bought this so early for my son's birthday, I would have been able to take it back. Will never buy another Netgear product.

    WORST REGRET PURCHASING A PRODUCT!!!

    Worst regret of my life!!!!!! After one month of working, this piece of junk disconnects every 15 minutes!! I have purchased a Motorola modem and assumed it was Comcast. Comcast required my entire house - NO CHANGE. Contacted Motorola - says it’s router issue. GUESS WHAT NETGEAR IS GARBAGE! Google netgear router disconnects and you will find thousands of complaints!! All these positive reviews MUST BE EMPLOYEES! Every day and many hours later - no resolution. Employees just want you off the phone and for your 90 days warranty to be over. I have switched channels, new wiring, updated firmware, adjusted settings YOU NAME IT!! YET THIS WASTE OF MONEY IS MY BIGGEST REGRET!!!

    Works as described. Range is marginal though so in a bigger house you will need an extender.

    Terrible at being able to make sure All ports aren't open by default. Internal firewall is absolute sh1t. The ISPs are supposed to help protect their nets, but in a DDoS situation this device and the ISP are just terrible. I would jot recommend this product.

    Hook up was easy but after a couple of hours the unit kept disconnecting from my WIFI and computer. Had to return it. Called the Netgear people and they said other people were having the same problem and they were looking into it.

    What can I say about this cable modem? The worst of the worse. Buy the first one in September and randomly drops the Internet connection every day. After calling Comcast and Netgear, they both blame each other for the problem. I decide to return it in December and exchange it. I install the second modem and in several hours the same thing, Internet dropping problem. After searching and reading on the Internet about a cable modems I decided to return it and buy a Motorola MB7621 and a Linksys router model EA7200. Now I never have problems with the Internet.

    Router drops the internet and requires a reboot to bring it back up. Netgear technical supports access only lasts a few months for free. I haven't had this router for a year. Please look at something else.
