    I don't think my internet really improved at all by using this product. My husband suggested it, but I think it was a waste of money..

    The app for this is buggy. Best Buy’s price for this is much higher than other stores.

    This did not even connect to my internet service. Spectrum is crap but my 10 year old router/modem combo can still pick it up. Why is everyone making new gadgets/electronics that don’t work? What is the point??

    I wish that sales folks had mentioned that this product is not telephony compatible. It said on box was xfinity compatible (combo router/modem) but if you also have a bundle thru comcast with a land line- land line will not work even with comcast stand alone modem. After getting all set up- realized phone did not work- very disappointing- I would only recommend it if you didn't need a land line- wish someone had shared that bit of info:) ....

    It has not been a week yet. The router kicks us off the internet sometimes. Debating about bringing it back to the store.

    Coax connector failed within first week

    I purchased this modem/router after my reliable Arris SB8200 started to fail (dropping and resetting every 10-15 minutes). The Netgear was not as easy to set up as indicated in other reviews, and I needed to call Xfinity and have them activate it because the auto-activation online wanted to replace my other modem which is an X1 leased modem/router in a different part of the house. Once set up, it worked well and wifi signal was strong enough for the upstairs rooms directly above. Where things went south was, I unplugged the wires and coax from the back so I could move the modem to a higher shelf, and when I reconnected the wires, the internet was offline. I called Netgear support and they walked me through resetting the modem. Then I called Xfinity and they verified that it was offline. I reconnected my old SB8200 and Xfinity was able to verify that it was connected and working (using it right now), so it was determined to clearly be a bad coax connector on the back of the Netgear modem. This Netgear is going back!

    In an effort to cut cable costs, we bought this to replace Xfinity's box. Setting it up was easy but had to be coordinated with Xfinity. We didn't end up keeping it long though because Xfinity ended up offering us a great deal with their XFI plan and I ended up returning this after all.

    Easy to install, but it has poor range. My new 2018 gaming computer is sits only 15 feet from the two-in-one router modem combo, and I am still getting slow dial-up speeds. I pay Comcast for 250 Mbps and with this set up, I average between 19 and 27 Mbps. I would suggest, going with a different unit and definitely a different internet provider; Comcast has been nothing but a hassle sense day one.
