Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted something that would replace my older modem and router setup after the router died. I didn’t see the point of renting a gateway from Comcast when I could own it outright. The speeds are great and I’ve not had a problem with connectivity since I installed the gateway. The Genie app is also a handy little tool.

Very fast and has a great range easy to install too

I initially bought the Netgear N600 Dual Band and had to return it. The 2.4Ghz was not working. I decided to get this and have zero problems and great connectivity all the way to the garage. Although I'm paying for internet well below the capability of this, I am able to get stronger internet during peak hours. I pay for 50mpbs but can get up to 60 or 65.

while having 2 streams going at the same time it performed very well.setup was simple enough but had to call Comcast to finish the internet setting.i also have vonage hooked up to it and no problem at all.for me it was a wise investment knowing I don't have to pay 10.00 for leasing one.would recommend to anybody that wants a high performing modem router.

This thing is a beast. It was the fastest cable modem that I could find, and it also allows for multichannel wifi at super fast speeds. Basically buying this compared to renting a cable services modem for the course of a year pays for its self. I have not had any complaints about it.

Always been skeptical of the two in one modems. This thing works great. Doubled my speed instantly and great range on the WiFi.

This product has worked very well since I brought it. I like this brand its a reliable brand.

Fast modem speed for in home. Needed something that would be able to handle several devices while the new norm of working from home. That it does. We never have connectivity issues.

This is a smoking Cable Modem. I get the speeds that I'm supposed to get from the cable company since I replaced their equipment with my own. It almost never needs to be rebooted unlike my refurbed modem from the cable company and never disconnects. Great product.

Awesome router , very strong signal and Stable, affordable price too.

So far this has been great and fixed prior issues experienced with another brand router/modem combo. I have Spectrum 200 mbps. You will just have to call them and have then add it to your account. Don't believe then when they say it's only a minimally qualified product and may not work.

Ease of use and excellent technical support. Eliminated the use of two separate devices.

We bought this to replace a cheaper router that just didn’t have enough of a signal. Great router strength!

When I switched internet providers, I wanted a really good router/modem combination, to save on space and power requirements. This cable modem/router had the best ratings I could find. Plus I've always been a fan of Netgear products. Pros ===== + Dual 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. Great wireless performance (most of the time, see Cons below) + Simple user interface, lots of configurable options + Handles the needs of my family, with 4 PCs and a couple of dozen iPads, Kindles, phones, etc. Cons ===== - Wireless drops out semi-randomly, every few days. During the drop outs, the hard wired connections work fine, just the wireless (both bands) drop out and get reset. When this happens, the wireless usually comes back about a minute later. I tried checking the router logs but they are inconclusive. I think this is a bug in the router firmware and hope they release a new version soon. - Many options have confusing names. One option, "Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection", was checked by default from the factory. This means that this protection was disabled by default. I read from different sites that this should be _enabled_ (unchecked) for maximum protection, which I did. Now the router logs show dozens of DoS attacks. Not sure what to think about this. Should the option be on or off? - No capability to block a specific IP address. I wish I could just block all traffic from one address, rather than have it show up in the logs with DoS attacks. Netgear says their firewall automatically detects and blocks IPs, but I want to be able to totally block a specific IP. Netgear really should fix this. Summary ======== Overall I'm actually really happy with this router, in spite of the cons. I really think it needs a firmware update to address my concerns. It does perform really well, but if the wireless drops at exactly the wrong time (like during my son's gaming sessions) it's bad news and ruins his game.

Out of the box, connect in minutes, easy set up with the help of netgear tech. Help and the few minutes to get recognize by cable provider, the unit out performs the unit I was renting from cable supplier. It only took about 20 minutes. Out of all the netgear units I've owned this was right up there in ease of set up and performs was tops.

This is a great little router/modem. It does exactly what I need and covers a large area. The features are great and my internet speeds are amazing. Have never had a problem with it. This is the second one I buy now. Moved and left my last one to my room mate.

My modem/router was ten years old and just not cutting it anymore and I didn't want to spend $350 for one with all of the bells and whistles. This one got a thumbs-up from one of the Best Buy sales guys. It works great and is lightning fast and it was easy to set-up. Everything I needed for half the price.

Excellent price and doing a great job! No issues with device!

I am very happy with this modem/router. I had a separate modem/router before and my wifi was horrible. I was lucky to get 25mbps and that was after rebooting. Netflix would drop out all the time. With this one I consistently get above 60 Mbps on my iPad and 100 Mbps on my iMac wireless. I haven't tried wired on the iMac. Netflix doesn't dropout anymore so I'm happy.

Finally got fed up with the Time Warner rental fee, I investigated several and with the help of the associate landed on this one. Blazing fast allowed me to remove my range extender, and will pay for itself with my savings. I would highly recommend. One note, it does not support TWC phone service, so if you use that, this may not be the one for you.
