Definitely Worth Getting

I bought this modem/router after my other one got damaged. The old one was also a NETGEAR, but an older model. It was definitely worth updating since this one’s signal reaches farther and has a more aesthetic look.
In no way is this the ideal product for someone living in a massive house with 5 rooms. What you get instead is a powerful little box that can pump out 300 mps through Ethernet and 220 mps through WiFi for a small group in a small area. Perfect for roommates or a small family.
Bought it cause I was tired of the ones provided by Spectrum. Works way better than the last 3 cable modem/router I had. Took 1 star cause the firmware lacks settings.
Right out of the box the router was very easy to set up, even for someone who is not very tech savvy. I’ve had zero problems with speed or connection since hooking it up. It will pay for itself (instead of renting from cable provider) in 10 months, and it’s just as good if not better.
Only down side it it’s size, takes up a bit of space, and with antenna sticking up it’s a little harder to hide the unit. Minor issue, as long as it works.
