    Overheating prone

    Thought NETGEAR products were stable & problem free. This modem as well a the last two NETGEAR modems I’ve owned seam to be prone to overheating and when that happens a continuous battle to keep the internet stable begins. If you do choose a NETGEAR modem I would keep a fan blowing on it around the clock. You will do as you see fit, as for me, NO MORE NETGEAR MODEMS!

    Overspec for a device that ultimately only provides GbE interfaces, requiring you to use clunky link aggratation reach potentially higher speeds.

    I have Xfinity and this thing would not keep a signal. I put on the attenuator for input and tried to troubleshoot, but it would drop five to six times a day.

    I've had to buy three of these in the last three years. They work great for the first 6-8 months but then gradually start having issues with dropping the connection and the LEDs dying. This unacceptable for such an expensive modem advertised as being designed for gaming and high quality internet and hardware.

    Sucks. Super expensive and it’s already fried. Never worked well from day one and positively zero assistance to repair or replace. Save your money.

    An excellent upgrade

    I was in search of a reliable cable modem after my previous one began working intermittently. My research led me to the Nighthawk CM2500. Since my purchase, it has worked flawlessly!
