Bought this to replace my Frontier Internet DSL modem. It works great, have had it now for over 2 months and absolutely no problems. Easy to set up and works well with our router.

Very quick to setup as long as you know the settings prior. The Wizard had some difficulty with Century Link connection and showed invalid login/ password. When I did the same information on the manual setup it worked fine.

My new apple laptop is strictly wireless so getting the modem hooked up was quite the challenge. Ultimately I had to borrow an older laptop with plug in capabilities. It took several hours on the phone to customer support to get everything up and running.

Our router and modem were both at least 5 years old and we were having our share of trouble with them. Always having to reset after getting kicked offline. Bad and weak signals, unreliable... It was a pain.
The new ones are easy to set up, and easy to re-set onetime I got zapped by something. The hardest part was getting the info from the phone co to get back into the phone lines. The NetGear Modem and Router were highly recommended by the Pros at best Buy as being their bestsellers. I can see why as easy as they were to set up and keep going.

I had to upgrade my modem but had no idea what was a good option. Not only did the Best Buy employee steer me in the right direction, but helped me double my internet speed with this modem.

It was easy to hook up and get running. You do have to register it with your provider first. and it worked fine with my Netgear wireless router. So it is a great cheap internet solution.

Cuts out sometime and has to be restarted. However, I suspect CenturyLink is the source of the problem. No reason to blame the modem for the shortcomings of CenturyLink.

Modem works great....DSL really sucks though! I would highly suggest going with a cable provider over DSL.
For me, I live in the Country and can only get DSL.
This works great if you are in my situation!
