If zero stars were an option, that is what this product, coupled with NetGear support, earned. I purchased this device and attempted to set it up as per the instructions. With over 20 years in the IT industry, I have set up a few pieces of equipment. At one point, the device connected then disappeared. I called support to resolve the problem. After one hour of rebooting, nothing. That seemed be the only solution. Reboot - repeatedly. I had to leave the house, and upon my return, the device worked for 20 minutes. Another call to support where the reboot repeatedly was tried and tried and tried. The device would connect, then disconnect after 5 seconds. The WiFi signals would disappear. The problems kept leading me to suspect the hardware was faulty but know, reboot. Then I was asked to see if I could connect via ethernet. A. it connected wirelessly more than once. B. My laptop does not have an ethernet port. The inept support person suggested I reach out to a family member who has a laptop to resolve the problem. After 2 frustrating hours, I hung up. The following morning, after not connecting again and verifying with my ISP, who was blamed several times, the device was registered, I made a 3rd call to the support. Finally, I was told the hardware was faulty. Over 3 hours to determine the hardware was bad. Something that was apparent in 15 minutes. Glad to say I am now a happy Arris owner.
We don’t get sufficient download speed to enjoy our devices at home, also interruption to work from home Internet provider told that they had good signals
