My C7000v2 took all of 10 minutes to set up, most of which was talking to our cable provider to register the unit. Fast, easy setup. The phone app is a bit too basic, but the usual web based setup is fast and easy. Highly recommended.
Very satisfied so far with this modem. I finally replaced my leased Xfinity modem and after setting this up, my only regret was that I did not do this sooner! Speed is great and has already had less problems than the leased unit did.
We purchased our previous Netgear router 10 yrs ago! It was still working, but due to internet upgrade, we needed an updated modem. So, of course, we bought Netgear... a combined modem
I was looking for a combo router modem that would worn with my internet provider. I was skeptical about installing it myself, but my concerns were not warranted. Not only does this one fill the bill, but the app made it super easy to install - and then popped up with the phone number for my provider and MAC number so I could call and get it authenticated. I also appreciated that it offered me the chance to rename it and create our own password. Works great and easy to install.
The coverage of this router is amazing, the only down side is the Nighthawk APP works off of your cable company for updates, this cause a conflict and I cant update the software thus no APP!
