    Coverage and speed was terrible. I returned it after multiple calls to the manufacturer and my IP. They will put the blame on each other. Be warned.

    This modem/router is really bad. I had to get mine replaced 2 times. NetGear support is absolutely terrible and will charge you for basic support. Overall I cannot recommend this modem/router less. It consistently drops connections. The mobile app is horrendous.
