It works - but it's kind of big

First off, I received this product for free as part of Netgear's Friends and Family program.
This product works really well, but wasn't the easiest to setup. The directions that came in my package left out the actual instructions for syncing the DST with the router. once I found those online, it was a breeze. You have to have the DST Adapter plugged directly into an outlet (not a power strip/surge protector), and press the DST button the router, and then within 2 minutes have to press the sync button on the DST adapter.
I'm not giving this 5 stars due to the size of the DST (not including the antennas, it's 3.5in Long, 1.75 inches wide/thick, and 5 inches tall). It also takes up an electric outlet since it can't work with a surge protector. They also recommend not having your router hooked up to a surge protector. The routers are expensive, and I'd almost want to have less than perfect wifi than risk having to replace my router.

Works perfect, simple setup

First off, I received this product free as part of a Netgear Friends and Family testing program. I use TWC for my internet services and am on a 100 Mbps plan. The modem was easy to setup and install. After I hooked up the power, coax cable, and ethernet cable, I called TWC to tell them I had a new modem. It took about 10 minutes, but they updated things on their end. My speedtests were avering at 118Mbps with this modem. It works great and works easy.
