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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Xfinity throttles this device and I am now having to rent a modem. MAD because cannot return item. Comcast is difficult to work with. Couldn't get over 200mb speed with a direct connect. Comcast modem was 980mb. Not sure if i want to spend another 8 hours on the phone with Comcast to get it to work. They deny throttling of course. I'm sure the device is good but not with Comcast/Xfinity

    I have only had it less than a month but it was easy to install and has been working properly. Ask me in 6 months to see if my opinion changed.

    One of the worse modem this is. They just have the false information. Never reached the capcity, maximum was only 180 mbps. I talked with netgear represemtative so many times and they never sorted out my problem.just wasted my time.
