    I got this to replace the less than desirable one provided by my internet provider. It was easy to set up and place my own password.

    Only issue is that I wasn't told I'd need to buy a cable splitter because I have home phone. This was not expensive, just inconvenient.

    Speed is good, but drops internet more frequently, than it should. Have to reset modem every other week. The App is terrible, hard to connect to modem, difficult to start. The next mode of my bio will definitely not this brand.

    This is by far the best modem router that I have had. Granted I have never paid more than $99 for one. It was well worth the extra $100.

    Network Expert and I Cannot Recommend

    Purchased this when I switched to Spectrum Internet service. After about a month we started to experience intermittent Internet issues that affected only web traffic. During these events all other Internet traffic worked just fine- only http/80 and https:443 traffic failed. I do this for a living and exhausted all reasonable troubleshooting. Went back and forth with Netgear and Spectrum support. Netgear wouldn't move forward in providing support without a firmware update to the gateway, but they would not provide it to me. They said that Spectrum would need to apply the update. Spectrum said that they had not approved that firmware version as of yet. Therefore, I am left with a flaky router, unable to get any support at all from either the manufacturer or the service provider, and I am essentially out $194.84 since Best Buy will not take a return beyond 30 days. I ended up having to have Spectrum activate their router/gateway at an additional cost to me of $5 month- the very cost I was looking to avoid. I would not recommend purchasing a cable modem gateway period and I cannot recommend Netgear due to lack of support. Terrible support.

    Bought a new modem router and after I hooked it up and went to install instructions someone else must have brought it back. On the instructions someone wrote passwords then scribbled them out. I had to do a factory reset to get it to work, and still having dropped internet. I should have took it back

    Do Not Buy If With Xfinity

    Buyer beware if have Xfinity. I purchased this modem in August. I didn't realize it at the time but I thought I had outages for the past 2 months with no internet connection at times. This week for 2 days, I had connection issues to the internet. Contacted Xfinity which they tried to troubleshoot but couldn't get a signal to modem. The technician came and replaced the cable to see if that would resolved the issue. Tried to do a factory reset but nothing happened when pushing the button and lights wouldn't cut off. Finally the technician said it was the modem. This modem only lasted a little less than 3 months and it's trash. Do not waste your money on this modem because you will have connection issues. I will no longer waste my money on Negear products again.
