It said it would make everything much faster with it’s 5G, well it didn’t. I have the fastest Cox WIFI speed and it buffers my streaming every single time. It’s sad! It’s no better than my cheaper modem and router. Really thought I had gotten the right Router and Modem, but I was wrong!

LOOOOOVVVE my Netgear cable modem router!! I received an INSTANT boost in my network speed once I hooked it up. Super-easy to set up and super-fast! We’re a large family (household of 8) and with all the devices PLUS virtual school and work now, we needed something that could keep up with the pandemic induced demand. This does that beautifully. No more lagging, no one’s booted off their network, and we get nice fast downloads when needed. Even makes our television streaming wayyy better! Would def recommend.
Easy to setup with exfinity. Just called and took a few minutes to setup the connection. The net gear app is pretty easy to customize your router and monitor your connection.
