    Great upgrade to my “several years old” Cox router that I probably paid for 500% through monthly fees. This one works great. Easy plug and play. Just be sure your provider registers it on their network.

    I've had this modem for about a month, works excellent, set up was not too bad, only issue I had was an underpowered router that couldn't handle it, called netgear and they said it'll show amber color if it's locked in but it's working fine, if I could afford to get new router it's suggested, I knew mine was dated so I went and got the google router and the combo is amazing.

    So far so good on this purchase. Decided to opt in for just a modem since we wanted to go with mesh wifi. It is compatible with Xfinity and seems to deliver better speed than our old modem.

    A Better Choice than the Arris Surfboard

    A new Arris Surfboard that I bought from Best Buy three months prior just died suddenly. I had a Best Buy Geek Squad contract on it, but since it was still under factory warranty I had to sent it back to Arris for replacement. I bought this NetGear as a temporary solution. Guess what, in the three weeks it took to get a replacment from Arris, this Netgear has been flawless. It stays connected more steadily to my Xfinity service and I haven't had a single signal dropout. The NetGear is staying put, I like it. It's bigger than the Arris Surfboard, but as long as it works as well as it does, it will stay my primary Modem, and I've been a Surfboard user for going on a decade now. What makes it great is it connected automatically to the Xfinity service, where I had to make a phone call to Xfinity on the last two Surfboard models to even get them to connect.
