    Combined with my new mesh wireless system, I’m getting every bit of internet speed I buy from my provider. Very satisfied.

    I’ve had countless issues between my ISP and less expensive modem and modem/router combination devices. Despite still having signal issues (to be resolved by rewiring my home), this modem has delivered a more consistent, fast connection. If and when there are issues, this modem instantly reconnects resulting in little to no lag. In summary, I don’t NEED to keep this modem, but have chosen to do so. You won’t regret this or any Netgear purchase.

    Works well with Wave broadband. I'm getting about 900 megabits/sec. My gigabit connection is getting used well by this modem.

    Replaced my SB8200. Not as fast as the 8200 but it works. Easy setup but getting it registered with Comcast took longer than expected. Easy to get into via Netgear's URL.
