We had Spectrum's modem for a year and had very slow speeds. We done some research and this was highly recommended. We have had it now for a few weeks. We went from 68mps to 136mps during peek times and 116 to 310mps on off peek times. Wish we moved to this last year.
It's hard to tell whether it was the netgear modem or netgear router that was faulty. I had several phone calls with netgear support including one at 1:45 AM on a monday mountain time. Fantastic reps and support. Ultimately there appears to be a known issue with false DoS attacks that cause the system to shut off wifi. I couldn't get around it without severely limiting the device security. As such, I was forced to replace the items with products from a different manufacturer. Netgear could teach the rest of the world about real CS support!
