    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.
