    This is a good modem , easy to hook up, and easy to program for static IP address and WI-Fi configurations.. It performs as specified. I did have two issues: first it is difficult to keep the Wi-Fi antennae oriented properly; second, my ISP ended up installing a bonded circuit (two DSL in parallel), and Netgear routers do not work with bonded circuits..

    The 8TB drives are not part of the current hard drive fiasco that is biting Western Digital, Seagate, and others. The drive ended up dying, but I quickly received a replacement from Western Digital. I recommend stress testing your drive prior to putting it in to use as primary or backup storage.

    It’s been great so far, it’s served its purpose! I only use it as an ultimate backup. Sometimes I wish I went a different route just for size purposes..but it does what it’s supposed to for me. No real complaints
