Worth the Price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this along with the SURFboard SB6141 to replace the Comcast modem/router. It was more than I wanted to spend but after dealing with Comcast and the painfully slow speeds plus paying $8 a month rental I was pretty much fed up.
I wrote about the slow speeds in my review of the SURFboard SB6141 but I'll recap; prior to this combo my download and upload speeds were both below 7Mbps. After pairing the SURFboard SB6141 modem and the R7000 my download speed in my first test (wireless) was 73.89Mbps download and 12.15Mbps upload.
We have a 2 story home and although it's not located in the best spot (downstairs kinda in the corner of the house) reception is awesome. 83% is the least strength I'm getting at the furthest spot from the router....upstairs at the opposite end of the 2100SF house.
Setup was not too bad. I ran into a bit of a problem that was probably my fault. Everything was working fine until I changed the default name and password then I lost my internet connection. I tried everything and finally gave up and hit the reset button. After that everything has worked perfectly. Pairing with other devices, samsung tablet, Kindles, phones, printer, smart tv, has been flawless.
Make sure to follow the direction of unplugging your modem and then plugging it back it before connecting to the R7000...if you don't go through this step you may have problems.
Can't go wrong with the R7000!

Best Modem for the Money!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Tired of paying Comcast $8.00 a month rental fee, slower and slower speeds, calls and chat support always blaming the problem on my end prompted me to look into another option.
The SURFboard SB6141 installation was pretty much "plug & play". Connected the cable, power and router (will post another review of the Netgear R7000) called Comcast to activate and was up and running in less than 10 minutes. Couldn't have been easier.
The tier we our on with Comcast is 25Mbps. With the Comcast modem/router download and upload speeds were both under 7Mbps. First speed test after installation was 73.89Mbps download and 12.15Mbps upload.
The price on the shelf was $99. I had printed out the online price of $91. It rung up at $89.
I can't recommend the SURFboard SB6141 enough.

Is it necessary to call Comcast?

Is it necessary to call Comcast if I plan on replacing one of their leased modems with a 6141?
I had to. The process only took a few minutes. Be sure to keep your receipt as I had an issue years ago with Comcast claiming the modem I owned was theirs.
