    Bought online. Junk! Dealt with netgear for a month trying to get this to work. Could not get more than 200mbps on eifi and ethernet. They blame Comcast. Finally got an x7 from Comcast, works great! Netgear will not back thier product. Told to deal with BB.

    A $400 paper weight

    I had the paper weight for only 3 months, and it keeps dropping the Xfinity signal, and the wifi speeds have slowed way down. Calling Netgear is a joke, they are useless, unless you want to pay for a extended tech support fee. Horrible product, horrible Netgear support. Now I'm stuck with a malfunctioning $400 paper weight.

    I just purchased this modern and router, thought I was going to get great speeds and uninterrupted Wi-Fi only to be disappointed when spectrum informed me that this modem and router can’t be provisioned. I’m going to return it the first thing in the morning. It said SPECTRUM, it just cannot be provisioned for high speed internet by spectrum.

    After upgrading to this router, I couldn't print to any of my printers from my phone or iPad, any longer. It kept losing the connection to the internet and I had to power cycle every few hours to reconnect. Just a reboot wouldn't work.

    I am down to my second unit. They have a tendency to die after a couple of months. What occurs is that you loose 5g then eventually 2g, then total system failure. Net gear was no help really and after 1 month no support is available. Buy at your own risk.

    If you have Xfinity I would not buy this router. Xfinity told me I had to update firmware which you can not do on your own. You would have to drive to the proper Xfinity store to accomplish this.
