    Purchased this to handle my 1gbps connection. My cable company tried to push a 2 in 1 router on me, so I went and purchased this instead. All my gear is netgear including wifi routera. Works flawlessly. Never drops connection. Not sure if it automatically updates the router to most up to date firmware. Very happy with the product.

    We were having slow internet Had Comcast come out and although some was a wiring issue, the modem we had was shot. I did my research and decided on this modem. Now getting speeds of 250+ MB’s/sec. This does not have Wi-Fi attached so you need a separate router with WiFi if that’s your goal. Easy to set up too

    I bought this modem because i have multiple people streaming off of one internet line. The docsis 3.1 has far more lanes of traffic then my previous modem. We have far less time buffering. Happy with the purchase and all of my previous netgear networking hardware has lasted years. Im sure this will be the same.

    10x better than that crap the internet company is gonna try and charge you monthly fees for. Spend the money, have your own. It paid for itself in the 1st year of having it from not having to pay the fees from the internet company. Totally worth it.

    I wasn’t sure if it was worth buying a modem or keeping my rented one from Comcast. OMG IT IS SO WORTH IT! My internet is way more reliable and now that Comcast is DOCSIS 3.1 we are at top speed. I live it a 1,900 sq ft 2 story home and this modem works great in every corner of the house and in the backyard,

    I bought this to go along with gigabit internet service. I was not disappointed at all in months I have had it so far. I think I have restarted it one time in that period and the thing is still working strong. I would recommend this to anyone with top tier internet looking to avoid a month hardware fee.

    I needed a replacement that worked with Comcast internet to save me the monthly rental fee. This product is capable of speeds beyond my internet package. It’s blazing fast! Works better than the rental product, plus it’s pays for itself in a year. It will be a relavent product for at least five more years.

    We needed an upgrade to our old modem that was getting in the way of us receiving the maximum upload/download speeds of the internet service we switched to. This modem allowed us to accomplish that. It was quick to install and works well with our service on WOW.

    So far working well. Didn’t realize how much my old modem was struggling till upgrading to this. Speeds are much improved. Caught it on sale too thankfully. At least my old modem had the curtesy to die around Black Friday.

    Replacement for one that was struck by lightning. Went just a modem this time and a separate mesh system. Nice setup, works, excellent, so much better than the modem/router combo we had before.

    Recently upgraded to 1Gbps internet; makes a HUGE difference, and this modem I haven't had to restart even once since the change took place, and that was over a month ago. Very fast. The only thing I would have liked to see is more Ethernet ports, but I run a separate router to it, so that works just fine.
