I read the mostly positive reviews, then I read the negative reviews (which are greatly out numbered by the positive), and I decided to pull the trigger on the AX2700.
When I first set it up it was a dream. The dream lasted about three and a half weeks before I started having issues. Said issues included streamed content frequently getting blurry, Call of Duty dropping in the middle of a game, not being able to connect to Playstation Network for extended periods of time (5 - 15 minutes), and my phone switching to mobile data while connected to Wi-Fi.
At first I went through the progression of restarting the AX2700. This temporarily fixed the issue. I made it approximately 90 minutes before the issues started to return. I thought xfinity was having service issues, according to them they weren't. Long story short, went through this for a couple of days, switched back to my X-Fi gateway and I haven't had an issue since.
I have no desire to pay $14/month to rent my modem/router, but for now the AX2700 I purchased (at $250+) is being outclassed by the rental.
With my current experience I can't recommend this product, unfortunately the reliability wasn't there.

To my surprise, it took xfinity over 30 days to schedule an appointment for their employees to run an internet line to my home, then send a rep to my home to set up the internet inside my home. Unfortunately, the rep needed help so he scheduled another rep to set up the internet to the outside line. To make a long story short, that Xfinity installer said the net gear device wouldn’t not work and I should exchange it. I called Best Buy on the phone and your rep said it was nothing that could be done because it was brought to their attention after 30 days.

currently according to NETGEAR the latest update has problems and loses connection 3-4 times every week. You don't expect to have those problems when you spend $350.

-1 STAR I bought this modem to replace a Netgear Gateway C7000-100NAS. I upgraded my internet service and the C7000 only delivers WiFi speeds of up to 1.9Gb. The new internet service delivers 2.25Gb and higher so I needed a gateway that would match the internet service. This gateway works fine as a plug an play device, but if you are a techy person like me and want to secure your gateway and network, this device has a very poor performance. Upon setting the encryption standard of WPA2, MAC filtering, access control, and other security features, the wi-fi and internet service would either work ok for a day or so and then it will not allow the devices to connect to the internet or it will stop connecting to the internet right away. I did all the trouble shooting for 3 weeks trying to resolve the problem. I contacted the ISP, Netgear, followed all the troubleshooting steps, changed configuration settings, and after a month, I replaced it with the old gateway. The old gateway has the same configuration settings as the new gateway to secure my network and although it delivers a slower speed, it's reliable and does not disconnect the devices and the internet connectivity works fine. Sad that the C7000 only cost $129 many years ago. I paid almost $500 for a better gateway and now, I am out of $500 as the time to return this gateway has already expired. My recommendation if you buy this gateway is if you experience an internet connectivity issue with this gateway as soon as you plug in, please return it and don't waste your money. In addition to being unreliable, this device has a low quality web interface compared to the C7000. I could have bought a bad unit and it was just bad luck so that's why I recommend to return right away if you experience issues.

I purchased this as an upgrade from an older Motorola Router/Modem. This product performed poorly and was very expensive. The signal frequently dropped on both lap top and TV in the two weeks I had it. This was in a smaller environment with few competing devices. I found this unexceptable. I returned this product and reinstalled my previous equipment.
