I’m writing this review to document my issue with buffering issues on my TV. I wasn’t sure if it was my cable provider, my modem, my router or my Ethernet. Geek Squad first speed-tested my router. When that passed, we knew we our cable provider, modem and router were working fine. Then, by testing the TVs, he confirmed the Ethernet connections were in place. That left my 7-year old Ethernet switch (a NetGear 8-port GigaSwitch) as the issue. Upgrading to this new switch was easy and fixed the buffering, though I’m not sure why the old switch caused the issue. Since it was a gigaswitch, it should have had the capacity. And I don’t know why it could partially fail.
This unit is exactly what I needed. Switch from dsl to cable was easy. Unit came with a quick start guide but no manual. I am used to operator manuals.
I purchased this in order to upgrade my cable service to 1Gb and the process of installation was as easy as it can get. Instructions provided in the quick start guide were simple to follow and the configuration was perfect. So far the modem has proved solid with good performance.
