      Hi Thomas,

      This is a stand-alone router. If you would like only one piece of equipment you will need to look into modem router combos. We have several available on our website: https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/modem-routers/

      Thank you.

    This router was disappointing. It was easy to setup, but after using it for a day, the WiFi kept dropping. Very frustrating.

    This thing is the biggest piece of garbage. In all my years I have never had a router that needed to be reset every day and bounced all over the place like this does. DO NOT BUY this, I'm more angry that I can't return it!!!

    Less than a year into owning and this router has turned into a paperweight. Do not buy it. Net gear updated their firmware and has completely ruined this router. It goes out several times a day and needs to be restarted. Complete waste of money.

    Have had to contact Netgear daily for over two weeks to try and resolve problems with my router. Drops connection daily and you have to reboot or adjust settings to get internet connection to resume. Stays connected to devices and router light displays indicate everything is okay but internet connection randomly quits.

    I have Internet 200Mbps but this router never delivers 200Mbps. The fastest it delivers is 180. The time it takes for each website to load is even slower than Internet 60Mbps that I used to have with another router. I reset the router, re-plugged it, it work faster for a few hours then lagged again. Will not recommend.

    Here I get this router thinking I have the best. Ha it wouldn't even do over 200 mbps. I have a cheap SBG10 that walks all over this expensive piece of netgear plastic. And when you reach out to netgear. It's some one forgien who can't understand you and you can't understand them either. Want ever purchase netgear again. Or shop at GarageBuy.

    I switched my old router for this one, thinking that it will change the speed and quality of my wifi. I was so wrong. This products sucks! It wasn't fast. It did not cover our 1200 sqft apartment!! It didn't last for 6hours, that's how terrible this router is. My internet service provider is amazing and fast. Just this product was a let down.

    I paid for a Geek squad house call to install this router. After they left, it kept on disconnecting with Internet. I had our Internet provider come to our home. He tested everything and installed his router - now all works well. He said the router we purchased did not work so I returned it to Best Buy and got the Geek squad visit credited. A large investment of my time went into this!

    If you’re within 20ft it works fine. Or if the devices are hard wired. Other than that, not worth the price.

    Piece of junk. Horrible setup took me three weeks and 20+ HOURS of time spent with the cable company and the netgear “support” team. I wish I could return this. I hate this router so much I have cried tears over this thing. Made my life worse. I want to stomp on it every single day. I think I will soon.

    This router does not equal my old cheap one. I can't use my wifi on my phone in my yard, which I had no problem on my old one. My old router was stopping and having to be reset , so I bought this one , recommended by the best buy employee, I have fiber optic internet and she said this would be very good. Very poor quality
