Buyer Beware! Only 600 Mps Max through Xfinity

Length of ownership:6 months
I only upgraded because it says on the box that it was made for Xfinity and can get up to 960Mps download speeds. This is not true! Xfinity said the router can only receive 600Mps since it is 3.0 docsis and not 3.1. The router cannot be returned since it is already opened. I want to be able to get the Gigabit speeds that I paid for.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Nancy,
This is a dual-band product. The 2ghz band is only capable of 600Mbps. The 5ghz band can reach up to 1300mbps.

I really like this router/modem combo. It really cleans up space and looks elegant. My only issue is that we need to restart it a lot, although there may be some issue here caused by the internet service provider.
I got the C7000v2 to replace the standard Xfinity cable modem. I had limited wifi coverage in our small ranch and the new netgear fixed that. The Xfinity parental controls did not always work right. If I shut off a small set of devices for a long time (a couple of days) then my through put on all the other devices started to decrease to the point they were unusable. As soon as I unblocked the other devices everything improved. I tried calling Netgear mutliple times to ask some questions about remote access (which this device does not support) and other items and each time I talked with a nice person who could do nothing for me except open a case number and say someone will get back to me soon. They never had. Their support is non-existent.
We had to return this unit. It had no port for our telephone connection.

It’s been a 5 years I’m using this model. Working still great !!! I can use anywhere in my house without problems. I thought it’s pricey when I bought it but after 5 years I’m still satisfied this modem.
