HISTORY:
Despite the bad and negative reviews I went to Best Buy to get one of these since I had a rental modem for 15 years, yep $7/mo :(
The guys at the store confirmed the part number and said installation wa straight forward, just follow the instructions verbatim. I had a coupon, gift card and store credit so I got this at a redicously low price. I went home and opened the box and read the very short and concise instructions. I Followed them VERBATIM and in 14 minutes I was uninstalled and reinstalled and running. I then went to the Motorola webite and watched 3 quick videos (not required). I then renamed my SSID and set up a Guest network in another 10 minutes. This thing is fast, I hit the button and the answer is there for old and new websites. I have the router in the lower level of my 3 story home. My kid took a laptop out side and 150 ft away from house and still had a connection at 2 BARS.

Follow the very short instructions VERBATIM and be amazed.
Motorola did a very nice job on documents, product and performance.
