Used this to replace a 12 year old router and holy crap my WiFi is so much faster! I highly recommend this router I’ve had it for over a year now and I haven’t had a single issue with this router yet

Easy to use. Has 5G so you'll have two wifi connection capability networks. Easy to install. Fast speed. Works with RCN. Great for gaming and streaming. Coverage expands far because it reaches my whole house, about 2000sq.

I live in SW Florida and purchased it to replace the rental router supplied by my local cable provider. Connected perfectly, was easy to set up and has worked flawlessly since installation. We get a lot of power issues on the island where it's located, and it has handled the surges and flickering power just fine (so far...).Would but it again.

Device works well. Good speed and range for the price. Setup through the app is user-friendly.

Easy to set up other than the issue I had but a great choice for 100-200 mbs service. Uptime has been good just as with other Netgear products I have owned.The problem that caused me grief was the fact that this router came to me used. Perfectly packaged but no seal on the box. The prior owner had installed it and changed the network name and password forcing me to logon with information I did not have. I called Netgear and they said I had purchased a refurb unit which I did not according to the listing. It was rather painful to work with the Netgear rep and had language issues but I can forgive that. They made me send them a photo of the serial number and purchase receipt to establish my ownership of the product before they would reset the logon info. Needing to get the unit installed, I accepted their statement that my warranty was now ninety days along with just thirty days of tech support. Good, basic unit in the end but a miserable morning making it work.

I’m a systems engineer with 25 years of experience designing and maintaining commercial and DoD enterprise systems. Looking to save my octogenarian mother a few bucks a month on hardware rental, I bought this Netgear Cablemodem/router AC 1700 (C6250) based on cost and reviews. The package arrived at her house early and in pristine condition several days before I did. Included with the device were several slips of paper indicating different installation processes based on carrier and circumstance - one of which clearly described ours: existing Comcast/xfinity customer currently renting a cablemodem/router. After following the directions, installing the Netgear app and talking to Comcast support (only possible by falsely telling the automated system I had a billing question), the device was eventually provisioned with Comcast and their firmware installed. Unfortunately, although it was connecting to Comcast, it wasn’t issuing downstream DHCP devices IP Addresses. Manually configured downstream devices given either a Netgear default IP Address (192.168.0.X/24) or a Comcast default IP Address (10.0.0.1/24) wouldn’t connect, so Netgear support was called. This was when I started eating Tums as though they were M & Ms. The first call was eventually answered by a screener who asked for information (model #, problem, name, and telephone number - for “callback purposes in case the call is disconnected”), gave me a case number, and then routed the call to the appropriate department. After a wait on hold, a support person answered and had me repeat the information already given. Within a minute of starting our troubleshooting, the support tech abruptly switched gears, saying “Mr. , are you there? Can you hear me? Mr. ? Hello? If I don’t get a response, I am going to have to end this call.” This went on for about a minute with me answering that I was on the line and could hear him fine (and verifying the phone hadn’t somehow been muted even though it was face up nearby and on speakerphone). The call went dead. After waiting fifteen minutes for a callback that never came, I called the same support number I had used to make the previous call. This time the automated system acted as though it recognized my number and told me “your device is no longer covered by warranty” and I would have to purchase a support pack for assistance. Angry and ready for battle, I gave the case number when a human picked up the call and asked for it. When I mentioned getting disconnected and not getting called back, I was assured I would be called back if the call ended prematurely again. There was no mention of any charge nor was payment information requested. Odd. The call was routed to support and after about five minutes the horrible hold music stoped playing. A minute or so later the call was dropped. The next call took twenty minutes to finally reach a support person who took my number and promised to call me back immediately if we were disconnected. We spent ten minutes troubleshooting with no success before the tech decided to undo everything by having me reset the device. Sure, something could have been corrupted along the way, but at this point I knew that regardless if this fixed the problem, Comcast would have to be called back. The tech denied this. Once the device came back up I was told to disconnect power and coax cables, wait, then reconnect. While reconnecting, the call went dead. Waited ten minutes, feeling like an idiot for trusting people who had already lied to me twice, then called back. More of the same, callback promised if disconnected, call was dropped, no callback. Four times disconnected, four times not called back as promised. Done. Reinstalled rented device (successful, but with difficulty). Four and a half days later at 11:55 PM EDT (local time) on a Monday night, I was woken up by a call from an unrecognized California number. I let it go to voicemail and then checked the message. I can’t believe that I was surprised to discover it was Netgear asking me to call them back. I waited fifteen minutes then rolled over and went back to sleep… and didn’t dream of calling them back.

Update from my Previous review... (from 1 star to 5)I was facing a lot of issues with the wifi router... My ISP technician came in to check the issue and couldn't do anything about the speed and thats when i provided a bad review. I tried wifi extender and booster (external) and that dint help either. However, after persistent complaint, my ISP sent another technician to take a look at the speed and turns out the modem was connected to the Low-speed setting (instead of 5 gz) ... (such a straight forward issue to have missed), and I dint know how to check the lights to validate it. there is a light that tells you which one is connected.Botton Line: No issues with the modem or wifi router. Corrected the connection settings (after two attempts) and it's all good. Absolutely amazing product.Old Review:I purchased this 4 months back, reading great reviews... but this just doesn't work for me. In the last 4 months, I happened to change every possible parameter impacting internet speed. We happened to change house (which mean the architecture is not the same), changed the placement of devices, changed internet service providers, changed the internet connection plan, I even checked the speed at various times of the day, but this modem works pathetic everytime. Biggest problem is the Wifi. Attached are two pics of Wifi speed between two adjacent rooms. Rooms so close that, my device is in the line of sight of the router from the next room. But you can see for yourself the difference in speed with timestamps.To be fair, from all the reviews (and even feedbacks from my ISP), this modem itself is not bad. However, unfortunately, I got a bad one from the lot probably. Just sharing my experience... it may or may not work for you.
