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.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Not the greatest. Should have just gotten a modem/router combo. It didn't want to talk to the other netgear router 30% of the time.

    Well I’m really bummed about this modem. When it works it is great. However I have to unplug it and lug it back in a couple of times a day to get it working again. Which is a real drag if not at home no connection

    I bought this modem to replace one that has the infamous Intel Puma 6 chipset. Unfortunately, this one drops service as often as the other one did. Total waste of money....

    This never worked as well as my old motorola 400 mbps modem router. Im cant return it but i personally would not recommend. M8ne keeps cutting out and not auto restoring so i have to keep unplugging to rest it. i am looking for a new one so basically wasted money. From the reviews many have loved it

    We bought two of these - neither of them worked. We have a Netgear modem we have had forever, and it works beautifully - still - but we won't be buying another one, because fail me once, shame on you. Fail me twice, shame on me.

    Product failed on July 2. The product works great until it failed, so it’s hard for me to give an honest review.

    I was surprised when this unit died on me 2 months in. I have other products of theirs which I really like. Their support team is willing to replace it but since it is out of stock at the moment they can not process the return. So, I have to keep calling back to check if it is in stock and when it is they will process the return, not a good customer experience. I am going to buy a different brand and keep this one as a back up.

    Could only connect 1 device (computer). Not a wireless router. You are better off buying a cable modem and router combo for the cost.
