Not very good

I owned the first version of this model and it worked great for 7 years. The upgraded model I recently purchased doesn’t work as well and I had to call technical support so they could change the settings for the internet speeds to work semi-correctly. There is no button in the current app to upgrade the firmware and the system says it requires a firmware upgrade. I called tech support and tech said it can’t be done on their end and with no firmware upgrade button it can’t be done. Don’t waste your money on this model since the internet speed service varies from slow to medium and back to slow continuously and the firmware can’t be upgraded!

Bought modem/router combo to save money from paying Internet provider equipment fee every month. Best decision ever! No glitches, easy set-up, enough Wi-Fi coverage throughout our home! Must have!
Not only does the NETGEAR C7000v2 look good but it runs my internet at amazing speeds. I always thought I had poor internet until I got this. Definitely recommend for a medium sized household with 3 people.
Purchased a Netgear modem router to rep[ace my Xfinity modem router. Easy to install. Once hooked up system is working great. Should have done this years ago.
