I set a home office in my finished basement. The modem supplied by my internet provider and separate router I purchased was installed on the second floor of home. The internet speed was slow. I had cable provider technician remove old equipment and install the NETGEAR C7000V2 in the same place on second floor. The internet speed even down in the basement is excellent.
I've had this for several years now. I have never had a problem with it. Interest rums fast and I get great download and upload speeds. Would recommend
