I didn’t want to continue paying for my internet provider equipment rental I decided to buy my own to save some money. Now I’m getting the speed that I’m paying for and I don’t have any connectivity issues and the process to set it up is very easy using the app. I ended up buying one for my mother as well, very good build quality rating 10/10
Up graded wireless router modem combo it’s been doing a great job getting coverage throughout the house setup process was pretty easy with some tech help.
Extremely easy to connect and set up. Came with all necessary cables and after one short phone call to internet provider we were good to go! Highly recommend!!
I’ve always loved Netgear’s products. I’ve owned at least 10 over the years, routers, hubs, NAS Storage, you name it. But the AC1900 will be the last. The Cable Moddm/Router is a great piece of kit, but the support fight between Spectrum and Netgear has left me with unresolved and consistent dropping of internet both wired and wireless. Spectrum believes it’s the 3.0 standard on their now DOCIS 3.1 network. They think a bios update would fix it, but their network team has run into roadblocks with Netgear. Netgear of course blames Spectrum. When I tried to get Netgear to replace the modem under warranty, after literally 8 hrs on three phone calls, they refused. Lights are green the heavily accented man repeated, there’s nothing we can do. I even offered to pay the difference to upgrade to the DOCIS 3.1 Nighthawk, but nope. I purchased the AC1900 in May 2020, less than 4 months ago, and they won’t help at all. Out of my free 90 days support. So I have to buy a support contract to get a warranty repair I asked? Afraid so... My last Netgear purchase, PERIOD.
