Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the product's impressive speed, strong performance, and overall ease of use, including its simple setup and seamless connection. They also appreciate its compatibility, DOCSIS 3.1 support, and affordable price, noting that it operates without lag and stays cool. However, customers are negative about the limited number of ethernet ports and, for some, the signal strength.

    Decided to buy instead of renting the modem I’m currently using. Took approximately 5 minutes to activate, via online activation, and works perfectly

    Worked good for me. Need's more updates from the company. The warranty was short but you can pay for more? One year is the standard not 6 months!

    This router was very easy to set up and within minutes or system is up and running. We immediately noticed a significant increase in speed on our network.

    Not many ports

    The only thing I have a problem with is the number of ports. I have a lot of things that need to be hard wired (Eero, Philips Hue, and other things). I had to buy an ethernet splitter to connect all of my devices.

    Last modem had worn itself out (too many errors with service and range) so I replaced it with the Netgear, and I love it.

    The Modem is working great. I made a mistake thinking it was a router / WiFi And modem. Read the description well. No issues so far.

    I purchased this modem because I got tired of paying for a rental from Comcast. In 10 months it's already paid for itself. I use it for gaming, streaming, wireless printing and surfing. You can NEVER go wrong with Netgear products.

    No problem setting up. Had to call Cox. Modem was online in about 10 minutes. This modem is overkill for my service (100 Gbps) but operates fine in DOCSIS 3.0 mode.
