    Absolute trash of the highest order. This model has had multiple issues with hardware/software causing in long outages requiring hard resets back to factory default settings. Do NOT Buy this model. You will regret it if you work from home

    Do not buy anything from best buy!!! This modem was awesome for 29 days and then it completely crapped out. If you arent a member of their crappy tech team or buy their extended warranty then you have 15 days to exchange if it fails. I will never buy anything from best buy again

    Wifi worked intermittently. I would get kicked off the internet for hours at a time with no rhyme or reason. I could use an ethernet and get online -but the wifi wouldn't work. It would state vouldnt obtain IP address - while the ethernet connected devices worked fine.

    I upgraded to this router thinking I was going to get one of the best router but instead it turned out to be junk. The 2.4 signal keeps shutting down and you have to factor reset it to work and it would last for maybe a month then it would drop again.

    Do not recommend for wifi - not worth the money at all. NetGear pushed an update and made this thing absolutely unreliable and largely unavailable for wifi. Wish I could return it still, never spending money on NetGear again.

    It was randomly disconnecting various devices from WIFI the first couple of days I had it. Returned to the store to get a Motorola modem paired with my old Netgear router, which worked as expected.

    Junk. Needs to be restarted everyday, at least 2x a day as it loses internet connection randomly. Great area coverage but that’s useless if it can’t keep connected. FW updated, no issues with the ISP, just a bad product. Stay away and buy a separate modem and router.
