    This modem was easy to set up and provides a great signal with great range. On one occasion, there was an issue that the the modem inexplicably stopped working. After I powered off and on, it started working again.

    I purchased this to optimize my gig speed internet which I use for online gaming and streaming . My average Mbps is 400 for download and if plugged directly to ethernet I am at a steady 680 to 700 Mbps . Average upload speed is around 35 Mbps . This is an excellent product and perfect for FPS , fighting and MMORPG games . I would highly recommend this product if you want a steady connection with no lag .

    so the choice is to rent or own your cable modem. while it doesn't necessarily make total financial sense to buy this over the leasing if Comcast equipment due to the price of this router, this router absolutely screams interns if throughout. WiFi is good to excellent and ease of setup is a piece of cake (be sure your cable provider service does not include telephony otherwise it won't activate- I argued with the tech who couldn't activate it and finally asked them to try it without and it fired right up). Security features are great and true gig throughput. Great product

    My cable source is at the farthest corner of my home. Prior to installing the AC3200, I had a good router and repeaters installed. This setup created some anomalies with bluetooth and other Iot devices. Went with this solution hoping a single source would alleviate the problem. In the month it has been installed, I have had no trouble with any connected devices. The reach is great. I have good speeds at the opposite corner of my home and outstanding speed within a couple of rooms. BTW, I have Cox cable, 150mbs service. It isn't FIOS but it keeps up with our needs. After installing, I spent about 20 minutes on the phone while they set up the new modem.

    I had the previous model and it was still working just fine but the cable company had a special on the Gigabit speed option and I needed a DOCSIS 3.1 compatible system. Again I went with the NETGEAR Nighthawk as it runs like a champ. So far so good on this one. Once I set these up I usually never have to touch them save for the occasional power cycle if the cable signal goes funky. Web interface is easy to use and I am pulling over 970mb a sec!!

    At first I thought this cable modem router was the bomb; but the antennas ended up being a pain in the butt. This modem met an untimely death due to lightning. It happened two months beyond warranty coverage ... and I am not sure if warranty coverage would have covered anyway ...

    With Covid-19 we were struggling with everyone using the home intranet. We upgraded from CenturyLink DSL to Midco Cable. With the rented modem all seemed good for the first week. Then the cries of the WIFI was not working in parts of the house reached my ears. After a little research and checking Midco's approved modem list I ran down to Best Buy and picked up the NETGEAR - Nighthawk Dual-Band AC3200 Router with 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem. It was the last one in the store. What a GREAT buy! It might be a little over kill for our 100 MBPS but I don't care. The whole house has fast WIFI!
