Good Alternative to Rental Comcast Modem
on June 25, 2022
Posted by: Anonymous
The modem/router meets my needs for replacing Comcast's rental router. It has 4 wired (Ethernet) router ports and both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless (Wi-fi) bands. While it is missing VoIP connections that the Comcast router had, I don't need them for this modem. Unfortunately, like the Comcast device it replaced, the router functionality has to be disabled if you want to attach another router to the device and use it as the DHCP server. Note that there is Netgear post-activation steps to take after Comcast activation is complete before the device is fully functional.
It was time for a new modem router and I had increased my internet speed so I needed something more powerful this fit the bill but it randomly shuts off all of the lights are working but it'll say on my devices no internet service and then say internet service restored it usually doesn't last a long time the warranty was only for a year and I really didn't complain about it it's just irritating in the middle of doing something it'll just no service no internet service and then your internet service has been restored so like I said it works but it works part-time so I couldn't give it above three stars I thought about two stars but stuck with 3
