Hooked up netgear - easy enough but it only lets us use it as WIFI. when try to use the ethernet, it shuts down all WIFI connections then eventually the ethernet stops working too. our solution - hide the ethernet cord and only use WIFI because after hours of trying to figure out what was going on, we gave up.

I bought this modem and a Nighthawk router in hopes that paying more would translate into a higher quality product. After a week or two of living with the system, the truth is that it constantly drops the signal throughout the day and requires a reboot of both the router and the new cable modem that I installed at the same time. The older Netgear modem/router combination that these two products replaced did a better job at a fraction of the price. At this point I would not recommend the product.

I just recently purchased a Modem and a Router for my home internet. I haven’t been able to get it connected since the Netgear service team can’t help me. IT team is All the way in India they can’t hardly speak English. They haven’t been able to help the numerous of times that I called them. They say that they will call me back and the don’t even bother to call me back. So Disappointed.
