    I Think this made it pretty clear that my Internet was bad but the way it worked rebooting over and over which dropped not just the cable modem part but also the wifi just tells me it’s better to have separate wifi and cable modems.

    Meh. Tried to improve wifi throughout my home. Bought this after just an extender of same brand didn't help. Not a fan. Ended up going back to the cable company's router as it was actually much stronger than this. Super bummed.

    This modem is straight garbage! I have a Gig connection with xfinity and i use their modem. I wanted to get away from the extra monthly charge so i thought id give this modem a try. With my xfinity modem i am consistently getting around 800mbps download and thats wireless. With this modem the MOST i was able to get was 15mbps download and that was hard wired into the modem. Wireless was even worse with me getting around 3mbps download. Stay away from this modem!

    I spent so much money on this a few months ago and lost power last week. Since then, it will not work. The only thing that pops up is the power light. I’ve done everything (EVERYTHING) including having Xfinity double check my lines. Nothing. This is an issue for so many people according to recent reviews and forms online. Save your money!

    The Netgear engineers really need to get their collective heads out of their ###. In 2024 this should be EASY to install and use. I would give a zero if possible. It decided to go back to semi original settings after set up and now I can't get in.

    It died after 7 months. Returning! Prior to that, it would stall or sputter. Bought it for streaming. Worked ok with wired LAN line, but WiFi was not consistent.

    I had high hopes for this Cable Modem Router combo; unfortunately it didn't work right out of the box. Two of the Gig ports never worked, signal kept dropping (although it was great when it worked), which made my devices lag even in 5GHZ. I honestly think I received a lemon, because I've never had issues with any of NETGEAR products. I returned it and got another combo cable modem router, Nighthawk AC3200 C7800. Although I'm tempted to repurchase the Nighthawk AX6000 to see if it was a one off lemon that I received as I stated before.

    Not worth the price. I had Comcast out twice and my signal is amazing. This thing drops signal regularly and just fluctuates far too much. I wish I didn’t get rid of my orbi. I can not recommend this.

    Nothing but headaches and constant phone calls with netgear support for 2 days. I can't upload at 5mhz, only 2.4mhz. And graphic intense pages don't open correctly. I had to hit reload 3x to get this page. ZERO stars. This will be going back to the store in the morning. (My apple products are fine, the problem seems to be pc products)

    Worthless piece of junk… WiFi radio completely failed in unit… will not connect. Before this failure the unit always required powering down to get it to work again, not this time… Spend your money elsewhere. This thing was almost 500 dollars when I bought it. Plus I have the extender… another waste of 250 dollars… I will never buy another Netgear product.

    Worked okay for almost 2 years and then died during a power outage (while plugged into a surge protector). Wifi range is not great. I live in a 2 bedroom townhouse ~1200 sqft and have the modem upstairs in my home office since I began working remotely. The wifi downstairs is awful. Glad I purchased the geek squad replacement warranty however not sure if I want another one.

    This router/modem is unusable. When there is a power outage it reboots and renames the wifi network. As the result none of my cameras smart lights laptops or tablets can reconnect. I spent over 2 hours on the phone with Netgear. They tried but no results. What's crazy is this is the 2nd one that failed. I don't recommend this router/modem.

    Great Performance, but it literally died after 48 hours of use. It's going back to the store and I'll find a different brand as I have lost faith in Netgear.
