Five Star Reviews: | 49% I Like it. February 28, 2017 Have been having better internet with this than the modem and router i was using before. It seems to have a better broadcasting power. I can pick up the signal better all over the house. Set up was a little tricky though my tech support at ISP went through it with me in a few minutes. It is working great. Can't go wrong July 19, 2016 Can't go wrong with netgear. I have a 2200 square foot house with a split floor plan. This router is in my home office which is on the other side of the house from my bedroom and the signal still makes it across the house. Works great for the buy price and has the ability to have multiple devices working simultaneously without an major decrease in internet quality. NO PROBLEMS HERE . . . May 28, 2016 Purchased this to replace a Century Link Modem / Router . Very happy with this choice , easy set-up, and haven't had any problems since ! Unlike the previous one I had . In fact I have NEVER had an issue with anything coming from NETGEAR ! ! ! I shoudl have bought this sooner to replace my AT&T router. May 19, 2016 Great router. Easy setup. Performance is fast and distance is great. Much better than the old AT&T router. Hookup was easy, talked to Centurylink August 5, 2014 Unsure of what others have written, I received a v2 product today. Hookup was easy, talked to Centurylink, all I needed was my PPP logon/password, and the system populated the balance of the information to create a connection. The whole process took 25 minutes with 18 of those waiting for tech support to pick up on a busy day. Centurylink was excellent, the product is spectacular, and my system is smooth, fast, and simple. Thank you Netgear, Centurylink, and other product reviewers who led me to this great product! If you need a bit more (A/C) look to the N750, both share the same DNA, and I believe you will be very happy with your purchase! | 76% ~80% Bandwidth Gain and Reduced Latency September 17, 2017 I pay for a 50 MB/s connection, which the all-in-one leased vendor (Comcast) 8x4 router could usually supply. However, the vendor device would not turn off its wireless radio or operate as a true network bridge. Replacing it with this Netgear CM700 32x8 bridge jumped the connection bandwidth to nearly 90 MB/s and removed the latency the vendor device was generating. Network performance has increased and the logical complexity was reduced. 5 stars given because it (apparently) does everything exactly as advertised, though the administrator in me yearns for a console connection or some way to monitor the device's internals (you know Netgear built one in someplace for their own engineers!)Niggling detail: the small case screws are either deliberately stripped or use a standard I have not seen before. The foot cannot be removed. Works as Expected March 19, 2017 It activated right away via Comcast Xfinity website. I'm now saving monthly on modem rental fees.Right after I bought it, I did see that there is a DOCSIS 3.1 modem. If you want the latest and greatest, get that. However, this on covers value and future proofing well enough.The we interface on the modem basically only has password option. Make sure you have a separate router. A quick & easy Comcast Upgrade! December 11, 2016 A quick & easy Comcast Upgrade!Took about 10 minutes total.Comcast has a webpage that automatically detects your new modem. If you already have a Comcast account, just login, click register. Wait for updates to push. DONE!To address the 'will not work with voice service' statement... The reason is, there is no VOIP (phone) port on this modem, like on the Comcast. We 'have' voice in our package, but do not use it... so the absence of a VOIP port is a non-issue. So the compatibility issue is due to the lack of a port, and has nothing to do with the service, persey.Performance wise, I moved from 120 to 180 Mbps. All of my wired connections are GigE. I am definitely glad I purchased this modem May 15, 2016 I have the Netgear CM600 on Comcast and it is very fast! I typically get about 170 Mbps down and 11 up, (the Comcast upstream limit), and it has been very rock solid since I installed it. I have to ask why Amazon has the reviews for 3 different models under the same heading. It's extremely confusing unless you really examine the posts. I was wondering why Comcast would say they no longer support this modem from another review till I realized it was the two generations ago model. I am definitely glad I purchased this modem. Good performance and easy set up on Xfinity high speed internet February 9, 2016 I purchased the Netgear CM600 to replace my 6 year old Motorola SB6120 because my download speeds were fluctuating with the old modem.The set up was very easy and I didn't have to call Comcast to get the modem activated.I connected all the cables and powered up the modem. Waited for all lights internet light to stop flashing on the modem.Opened a web browser window and was redirected to [...]. Entered my account and phone number, waited for a bout a minute for the modem to restart and I was online.The setup couldn't be simpler.Did several speed test and I was getting 60/6 Mbps even though I am paying for 25/5.Modem has locked 20 out of the 24 downstream channels and 4 of the 4 upstream channels.Cannot wait until my two year contract expires in April to upgrade my service to at least 150 Mbps. GREAT once it is connected. November 21, 2015 This modem is fairly small in size, but it provides a lot of speed if your provider allows it. We had a little trouble getting it to connect to comcast. You are supposed to connect a pc and use a web page to get it configured. We were unable to do that, and Comcast's support couldn't configure it, either. They scheduled an at-home service call. Yay. So I hooked my old modem back up to the house router and when it came up nothing worked. I realized they had taken the old one off my account. But, it allowed me to configure it on a pc through the router. On a lark, I hooked the new modem up to my router, and it configured through the router just fine. Wasted a lot of time on the phone, but it is great. Lots of speed ceiling for future needs.Would buy again. Would rather never have to call Comcast's service line again. |

Four Star Reviews: | 15% Nice for the Price September 15, 2017 As I didn't want to spend the money for a Nighthawk wi fi modem router, I chose this one instead,as it is the version that was replaced by the Nighthawk. Our brick home is about 2000 square feet and we decided to upgrade to fiber optic (from cable) that being said-I am pleased with this used WHD product-easy to set up.No hassle at all-I hardwired 2 computers with Cat 5 cables and wi fi'ed the rest of the house. All speeds are as they should be and for $50 bucks. I am well pleased. Doubled the bands. September 12, 2017 I used this in the house, doubled the bands. As we still have the old dial up service, I liked it, but the wife had trouble with her pad. Good DSL Modem/Router relatively easy to hook up. April 1, 2016 I got this DSL Modem/Router because of the Problem with the Fire Stick dropping the wireless connection. This device is relatively easy to connect and install. I would recommend that you change the password on the router as soon as you get it working. The only problem I had was connecting to it with my browser. The instructions on how to do it are not that readilly available. I had to serch through the manual for the proper name and format. If you are already familiar with how to do this then, never mind. I have it on a Verizon DSL. NETGEAR says it does not work with all DSL providers so go to thier Webstie to make sure your Provider is not one of the ones that they do not support. It also did not solve my Fire Stick problem. The fire stick works fine with cable but will not stay connected to DSL for some reason. My thought it is a Android problem but my Kindles work fine so it may be the Fire Stick itself? The N600 is dual band and has better range to link my house and workshop (about 150 ... February 21, 2016 I upgraded to this unit from an N300 DGN2200 wireless router. The N600 is dual band and has better range to link my house and workshop (about 150 feet away). I also upgraded to a dual-band range extender, and now use two range extenders for excellent signal strength everywhere I need it. I'm using an APC battery backup (UPS) so that power glitches don't reset the router and my file server. dual-band is nice, less clutter as WiFi and DSL are combined February 6, 2015 After 4 weeks, a solid, reliable, fast DSL router Wi-Fi combination; dual-band is nice, less clutter as WiFi and DSL are combined. Easy configuration, almost plug-n-play. Router interface appears not to be able to change the broadcast SSID name or change the factory set password. Docs claim this can be accomplished, although the results after changing via the browser interface show otherwise. BTW, the factory password is unique for each item. Far superior to the Verzion/Frontier supplied DSL router. | 8% After one month, still working fine. September 15, 2017 After one month, this is still going strong. Had no problems setting up. The only difficulty was with Comcast technical help. We both spoke English but not with the same dialect or understanding. Posed some communication problems. Simple to install but be sure and register the MAC number with Comcast if you purchase a modem instead of renting. Finding the correct person to speak with IS A PROBLEM! Gives me good speed with Comcast, but doesn't feel very durable August 23, 2017 It gives me 170 Mbsc speed with my Comcast 150 Mbsc plan. It doesn't feel durable item compare to the Motorola Modem I used before. I would not have changed from Motorola Modem, but it only gave me 90 Mbsc speed (older model). My Motorola modem lasted me 7 years and still no problems (other then the speed)I doubt very much that this modem will last even half the time my Motorola modem lasted What I like is that it has an off-button June 26, 2017 It's a modem. The one I had was no longer approved by my cable provider. What I like is that it has an off-button; what I don't like is that it gets very hot. Set-up was easy enough, and several months later it's still working. Quick set up! June 4, 2016 This wasn't difficult to set up and is working with our TimeWarner equipment. I was confused at first because instructions (and phone number) are included for Comcast, but as soon as I realized that our service was TWC and not Comcast I was able to call and have them activate the Modem. I haven't noticed an increase in speed, but this modem is listed as faster service than the one we were upgrading from. That is a fault of TWC not the modem though. All in all the modem was not difficult to set up and was working within half an hour of me taking it from the box. Overheating issue March 7, 2016 I've only had this modem activated for a couple of days. So far, when the lights are all green and it is working, it's perfect. Fast speeds (even faster than what I'm paying for), stable connection, etc. The problem I seem to be having is that it will all of sudden just show the red power light on only. The manual indicates that it's overheating. Seriously? It was on for no more than 12 hours. The modem is standing upright in open air. It doesn't turn off with the power button either, have to unplug the power and plug it back in. It's done it twice so far in a less than 24 hour period. I have it reset to factory settings currently to see how it'll fair. But if it overheats again, I'm returning this.edit: 3/14/16So I got a new replacement. There is no longer an overheating issue as far as I could tell. The unit also runs a lot cooler than the defective one. I have had it installed for the last 3 days. It did, reset a couple of times on the second day, but have since stopped. I'm unsure if that happened due to TWC though. The logs suggest that at least 2 of the resets was because of them. But that day experienced a large number of resets for some reason. Seems perfect again, but will keep monitoring it. I have upgraded it to 4 stars. It would be 5 if it stays reset free.Like the original unit, when it works. It's great. Pretty much a set it and forget it deal. It's also great that the LEDs are not blindingly bright like ARRIS units. There are a ton of holes for venting. On the ARRIS modems, the holes are pretty much on one long side and the 2 short sides. The heat seems to be concentrated on the top half of the unit. I just wished that they could have made the modem so that you could have it laid horizontally. Great modem but gets extremely HOT January 13, 2016 This modem was a black Friday purchase. Before I start my quick list of credentials are: I work from home (so it gets a lot of use) and in IT security. With that said I was getting tired of Comcast throttling my speeds during certain hours of the day and night, so I purchased this modem to attempt to by pass them all together. I pay for 105 down and definitely wasn't getting that. Now my modem and router are on the 3rd floor and I work on the second floor. I know the router is one main cause of speed issues however 24 down is unacceptable in my eyes and when I ran the speed test next to the router it was only around 40ish.So enter my new Netgear modem. My new speed tests on the 3rd floor (next to the router is about 70 to 80 down and about 15 up. On the second floor where I work (just ran a speed test as I am writing this review / See pictures attached) I am getting 63.68 down and 10.26 up; which is a HUGE improvement from using the Comcast modem.Again my router is getting old and am looking to buy a new one soon, however the huge difference in speeds between this Netgear modem and the Comcast one are painstakingly clear. Oh and for you gamers that use a direct connection (I direct connect my Xbox one into LAN port 1) when I ran a speed test though the Xbox it showed 122 down (which is higher than I am paying for).I have to say that I do love it but there is a few concerns. Review notes below:Pros:-Very noticeable speed increase from Comcast Modem-Install went quickly. Called Comcast, gave them (if I remember correctly) the MAC and serial number on the modem and I was up and running within minutes.Cons:-My one and only major concern is how HOT it gets. I am not sure if this is normal for this modem and I still need to contact netgear about this. When I say hot; I don't mean warm to the touch, I mean borderline that I am worried the components are melting / fusing together on the inside. This is why I only give it 4 stars and not 5Hope this review helped and I will try to answer any questions you all have. |

Three Star Reviews: | 7% Pretty good modem/router December 30, 2015 I ordered this modem router because my older netgear wasn't functioning properly anymore. Kept losing connection to the internet. Anyway, installation went smoothly and it worked really well for the first day and we had about 4 devices connected at the same time. Now it's starting to glitch a little bit like my other one I replaced it with. I have AT&T so I'm not sure if there is a connection problem between the router/modem and AT&T or what.. Other than that, this one is giving way better service than the other one I had so I guess I can't complain. Doesn't work with Windstream (like a lot of things) October 18, 2015 Liked the product. However after spending a couple of nights in tech support h*ll between Windstream (ISP) and Netgear I had to return it. Although it indicated a DSL connection, there was no way to establish an internet connection. If you're struggling with Windstream I heartily recommend the Actiontec modem Actiontec 300 Mbps Wireless-N ADSL Modem Router (GT784WN) Seems reliable, but Genie software failed in the setup July 29, 2014 Once, set up it works fine. The software provided, however, fail to connect to the internet. I was trying to connect through Centurylink. Once I got through to technical support they were able to guide me through the setup fairly easily. The Genie software was pretty much useless. Range is no better and probably a little worst than my ISP provided Westel router/moden. I was expecting a little better. I've changed channels but still cannot get a reliable connection with my outside wireless camera. There was no problems with the old Westel in connecting even though the locations are the same. Overall the router seems reliable and has features like USB access my old router didn't. Don't expect get exceptional range, however. works October 15, 2013 It is a decent router and works for basic needs. It is not very good for extended needs. As a DSL modem it works great, so it was a good choice when I had DSL. I have been considering going back to my DLink Dir-655 which had much better options and configurability for more extensive use. I have been trying to do some stuff with NAT and this Netgear just doesn't cut it. It does basic single port NAT from external to internal but nothing more. DMZ is one address without any configuration options. It does do wireless N pretty well and has a larger range than I would have expected out of a unit with no external antennas. Another reason I am considering going back to the DLink as I am now on a property with acreage and I may need a point to point antenna at some point that I can wire in. I cannot do that with the Netgear. Take it for what it is, a relatively basic unit for an average home that might need to do some simple home automation or web serving, etc, with wireless N and DSL needs. Good, but lots of setup May 26, 2013 ADSL + router is good, and runs just fine..........now. But it took about 6 calls to Netgear support to get it to work. First 2 calls accomplished NOTHING. Had to call my DSL provider for assistance. Even thou not their problem, representative worked for 90 minutes to find solution to the parameters, and viola, it worked. But it still dropped the DSL signal. On second to last call, rep was, to put it mildly, an idiot. He did all the normal things, and also a cold reset (the button on the bottom that takes it back to factury, including losing all sign in info). After 45 minutes, his answer was to return the unit to Netgear, who would then send me a replacement unit (which might be a "refurbished"). I told him of his incompetence, hung up, and called Netgear back. Got a great rep. He knew what he was doing--fixed the problem, and it was working again. I explained the losing signal problem, and he signed into my computer, made adjustments to the Netgear parameters, and that was 4 weeks ago, and it hasn't lost the DSL signal again. But why did it take 6 calls, and lots of time to fix ? It cost lots of my time, lots of tech guy time, and lost confidence in Netgear. Why do companies do this ? | 3% Initial setup is very easy. Getting it to work flawlessly is a different ... July 26, 2017 Initial setup is very easy. Getting it to work flawlessly is a different story. I'm not an IT tech, but I had to fuss with the IP settings to get it to work on all my devices. It is quite fast once the kinks are worked out. I would not recommend this for the tech challenged buyer. speedy modem but after 2 months it stopped working May 14, 2017 when it worked it was ok able to provide full and above speeds of my COX 300/30 connection. however it had a couple of occasional freezes since bought 2 months ago. And went completely dead 2 days ago.Just to inform it never overheated or never slowed down. Thanks to Amazon the replacement unit is on it's way. Just hoping that the new unit won't have the same issue, otherwise I am done with Netgear Not that great disconnets and other problems April 16, 2017 Since I switched to this product, I have had a lot of on line problems. It seems like it either disconnects, freezes and does not process fast enough It's ok for a replacement August 7, 2016 If you're like me and just looking to replace your Comcast modem this will do the trick. A few complaints. The interface for the actual modem is not the easiest to navigate, find, or use. My next complaint is heat. The thing gets hot. Real hot. I'm not sure why but it does. When I say hot by the way, I mean you can't touch certain parts of it or the coax cable input without getting a mild burn. If you want something that works go ahead and get it, if you want something that works great, looks great, and is more user friendly then you're going to want to keep looking. Like a lot July 24, 2016 I'm not sure. For some reason I keep having to reset the modem. Like a lot! I have always had netgear products with much less hassle than this modem. Great Cable Modem April 17, 2016 I had a Motorola SB6121 4 channel cable modem but my internet service is 8 channel so I decided to upgrade.I first purchased an Arris/Motorola SB6183 but returned it because the lights were too bright and also seem to have issues that I think were related to it being overly sensitive to line conditions.Bought the Netgear CM600 to couple with a Nighthawk x8 router and I couldn't be more happy. I am getting about an 8 percent improvement in speed when compared to the SB6183 and there have been no issues at all. It just seems faster and smoother at loading web pages now.It is more expensive than the Arris/Motorola SB6183 but I highly recommend it.UPDATE: I have had this modem now for 3 months and it has now started in the last 2 weeks to slow down to under 10mbps until I reboot it. I have only had to do this twice but I never had to do this with my Motorola SB6121. I don't want to change to the Arris/Motorola SB6183 because of the lights but I may have to if this continues to be a problem |

Two Star Reviews: | 7% After hours on the phone with Netgear had to return ... January 3, 2016 After hours on the phone with Netgear had to return first unit as it was defective. Netgear charges for return so I returned through Amazon. Second unit works but wifi range is non-existent at 80 feet. Netgear community forum has discussed in length since 2012 that wifi range is short. Netgear has not acknowledged this and continues to advertise long range capability. Calling Netgear support results in representatives with such heavy accents it's difficult to communicate, dropped calls, no callbacks, and little satisfaction. Will not purchase another. Any suggestions on how to improve wifi range? OK for home use only, not for a small business September 11, 2013 I installed this today for a small business client that needed a guest wireless network and ran into several problems. It was running the latest firmware. First, the client has a block of static IP addresses but the modem would connect to the ISP successfully only if I chose a dynamic WAN address. The dynamic address happened to be the last IP in the block but the old Netgear DSL modem was configured to use the first IP in the block. Second, the guest wireless network will only work if you use the built-in DHCP server. If you have a Windows server you're likely using it for DHCP and DNS. With the guest wireless network enabled and the built-in DHCP server disabled, wireless guest clients will get an IP address from your Windows DHCP server but they'll also be assigned the Windows server as DNS. Since the guest wireless network is isolated from your LAN, DNS queries are unanswered and web browsing doesn't work. Third, I could configure port forwarding from one external SMTP server for incoming email but not a second entry used for testing. You get one entry per service. Out Of Box Nightmare November 15, 2012 I admit I was warned by other reviews, but I had to have it. It took 4 hours and a dozen or more transfers between Netgear and my provider (CenturyLink). It started with an error on my ISP username, that cannot be reset and a glitchy setup genie from Netgear that chopped the end (.net) off of the username. Found that in Advanced Settings. I have the feeling these two companies don't play well together because they blame each other. The support from Netgear is atrocious, annoying, and will down-right piss you clear off your seat. You get 30 days of this terrible support before you have to pay them for help. They make a lousy first impression. If I need support from them I'll just use it for target practice. Right out of the box I had to reboot it (paperclip) just to get to the setup genie. Then after 4 long hours I gave up and LO AND BEHOLD! I got a connection, but I can't dump the setup genie until I reboot the darn thing again. I hope the rest of my wireless devices are easier to setup than this thing was to get online. BTW, CenturyLink does not support Netgear devices. Bottom line, don't buy this if you think you will EVER need Tech Support. Update: Got rested, then all wireless devices in network. I'm happy with the result. My old PC (32 bit Win XP) w/a netgear usb wireless adapter was the hardest to get going (hotfix KB893357 & disabled certificate validation) but is lightning fast. A firmware update is available. Maybe later. Netgear quality...................... March 16, 2012 It only takes a few minutes to look at any number of pages showing the hardware included in this router. In all reality, the specs were more then enough to make me purchase this router/dsl modem. Unfortunately, specs don't explain everything. The 5ghz band works well, I've never had a drop in connectivity on the 2.4ghz band, and the speeds are excellent. The huge problem with this router, is that it constantly disconnects my TV, PS3, and windows media player on my PC from the external hard drive I have hooked up while streaming content. While it had happened on 2 tvs, and my other networked devices, I can't say that it's on the playing end, and since I've hooked up 3 HDD's, and a usb stick to test it, it's not my storage that's the problem. I've hooked up each ext hdd to my pc, and individually to the tv's. and they don't have a problem viewing the files, or playing them. But as soon as I hook one up to the router to share between them, everything fails. I've read other reviews both here, and other sites, that have reviews of the same thing happening, newegg especially has a lot from people with this problem, and it seems as though I'm one of the unfortunate ones to get a dud. For those of you that have a dsl connection, and need a router/modem combo, and DON'T need to stream NAS content, then this will work just fine, if not better then most. BUT, if you want to make use of the 2 USB connections to share music, and everything else throughout your home via wireless, this might not be the investment you're looking for. 2 stars for exceptional basic usability, but when it's advertised to let you make use of certain included features, you would expect them to work properly. Simply Did Not Work November 29, 2011 Update to previous review...I don't know whether the real problem was this modem or my Internet service with Centurylink. I have been still having internet problems even with my old trusty modem and router. However the old set-up does work to some degree. My initial review is below. Changing review from 1 star to 2 because my isp could have been some of the problem. My previous DSL setup included a modem from 2006 and an Apple Wireless Base Station (router) from 2007. I assumed after having this setup for nearly five years it was time to upgrade to a router/modem combo. Sadly this product just did not work. After 15 minutes of frustration in attempting to set up the device myself, I broke down and called Netgear. The guy was nice and he had plenty of workarounds ready and after 50 minutes on the phone we finally got everything seemingly up and running. No less than two minutes after I hung up, the router dropped the internet signal and never worked again. I decided to go back to my old setup instead of another marathon customer service session. I had such high hopes for this combo unit. Also, when I opened the seemingly brand new box sealed in cellophane I noticed a seal was broken on the bag that housed the router inside the box. I paid for a new device, but possibly this was refurbished and maybe I got a dud. I don't have the patience to find out, so it's back to the Apple router for me. | 3% Two Stars May 2, 2017 I keep having to reboot modem because internet connection stops working. Disappointing. the full menu flashes then shrinks down to a few minimally useful items. I need to get to the full ... April 22, 2017 Unable to get to the full administration menu. When logging into the modem, the full menu flashes then shrinks down to a few minimally useful items. I need to get to the full menu to set up port forwarding but unable to get to the appropriate menu selection. I have not contacted support yet but will do so when time permits. NO MANUAL FOR A TOP LINE CABLE MODEM TOLD TO USE THE CM400 manual if the same refund the difference March 31, 2017 No manual, the last version device is all the information they provide. It seems to work but it isn't really supported by Time Warner Spectrum. They said they won't configure it for ipv6. I have no noticeable improvement over my last generation modem. I suggest buying the cm400 at least you get documentation. having problems with modem. December 7, 2016 Bought to avoid the10$ a month rental fee from my internet provider. I have been having connection problems since I bought it, sometimes it just does not have an internet connection even though the internet light on the modem is on. Ive never had this type of problem it all started since I've been using this modem.I called the cable company and there not showing nothing wrong on there end. This modem seemed like a good deal and was listed as compatible with ... September 13, 2016 This modem seemed like a good deal and was listed as compatible with my cable provider (Cox). After 4 hours on the phone with Cox technicians, we could not get this unit to work. Not sure if I had a bad unit or if something else was going on. I will be trying the Arris brand next since my previous modem was an Arris and lasted 10 years without issues.Update 10-6-16. I purchased a ARRIS SURFboard SB6190 and plugged in this evening. The Cox technicians were able to see and reboot this unit immediately. It came back online and I was good to go. I will leave my 2 star rating for the NetGear Modem since there was obviously something wrong with it or it was not compatible. Not reliable for more than a few months August 13, 2016 The cable modem was mostly fine for the first few months. Recently (5 mo later) it has started to fail. The lights will usually indicate a good connection but it doesn't work. After I power cycle it it will work again until the next time it fails. It has been failing more frequently. It started failing once a week, then twice a week, then once a day. I just had to reset it twice this afternoon.I want a cable modem that I don't have to fiddle with. Replacing it with a different brand. |

One Star Reviews: | 22% I have had great experiences with Netgear in the past November 9, 2015 I have had great experiences with Netgear in the past, however, this particular router was a problem. The router would not allow port forwarding. When trying to assing a port forward it gave an "unknown error" message. I called Netgear tech support and was on the phone for 1-1/2 hours. They finally gave up and could not help me and said it was a hardware issue and that I need to exchange/refund the product. I was not able to get it to install or ... July 27, 2015 I was not able to get it to install or function. I even had a "computer geek" come in and he was not able to get it to work either. I called Netgear for support and did everything they told me and it would not work. Unfortunately, due to personal issues I was not able to attempt to install and use this during the time period allowed for a return of the product. STILL cannot get it working (after a month!) April 15, 2013 I set it up perfectly and it finds my network but does not connect to the internet. I am fighting now to figure out why. Unfortunately my desktop computer also crashed (when it rains, it pours!) and I cannot work on it right now. ANY suggestions would be most gratefully appreciated. Because of the time involved, I can no longer return it. So I HAVE to figure it out. HELP! Won't connect to ISP February 2, 2013 I purchased this product due to it's review by Cnet. I attempted to get it hooked up through the Netgear wizard. It kept saying "Incorrect user name or password". After 5 days and dozens of calls to Netgear and Century Link support, each pointed the finger at the other as to why it would not connect to the ISP, it never worked . Netgear sent me a replacement (me paying the return shipping costs of course). The replacement did not connect to the ISP either. Netgear support provided very basic support and quickly blamed the ISP. They refused to go into addressing the root cause and provided only basic support. Never did get it to work. Be very cautious buying a modem/router that is not through your ISP company. Even though the item says right on the box it works with Century Link, they told me they do not support it since I did not buy one of their products. Hopefully, I will be able to return it for a partial refund since it is past the 30 day period. A horrible option for a dsl router August 6, 2012 I purchased this netgear N600 in March. From day one the unit kept shutting itself down whenever it felt like it. I would just turn it back on and figured it would get better, which that did stop after 3 months, but then it just quit working and we contacted Netgear and they put me into there "Geek" department. They told me that the unit had a bad IP address and that if I paid them $129.00 they would fix it over the phone. We explained that the unit was defective (we took unit to our sons homes and tried it on their DSL and it did not work for them either) but no they kept telling us, which does not make sense, that our IP address was defective and if we paid $129.00 they would fix it over the phone. There was no other options but to pay them again for a unit that I doubt they could of fixed and they would have had our money. My son who works with computers daily and designs internet web sights knows what he is talking about but they just kept giving us a line. I can't believe that we paid $146. for this unit and now we have to purchase a new one in less than 5 months time, but it definitely won't be a Netgear. I hope no one else makes the same mistake. I have never did a review before but I would sure hate to have other people having the same problems I ended up with. | 10% JUNK AND NO RECOURSE August 7, 2017 Total garbage. We purchased it in May because our old modem was freezing and stalling. In 4 months this unit is worse, and of course the warranty is up and trying to reach a human being at Netgear is like the search for the holy grail. I will not purchase anything from Netgear again. If I could give it no stars I would. This has not been working since it arrived last month ... April 13, 2017 This has not been working since it arrived last month. I contacted Netgear "support", and the representative barely spoke any English. She was very unhelpful, and did not understand. In the end she asked me to submit proof of purchase and that they would reach out to me after receiving it. Weeks later I am still waiting. Don't do it - but I need to reboot the modem before I can post!!! February 3, 2017 I have been a prime member for years. On confirmation with Netgear phone help that this item was defective I was offered a replacement. BUT to receive the replacement before the defective unit was returned I would be charged 30.00. I paid. The new unit is no better. The drop outs are just as bad and the reboot process is maddingly consistent all day. Of course I'll eat the cost and fund a better unit. AND see just how on the ball Amazons algorithms are at sussing out this kind of complaint. Avoid Netgear and enjoy a movie, on me. Less than a year old and it's dead December 2, 2016 Really bummed. I purchased this less than a year ago, and this morning, it just stopped working.Unplugged and reconnected and it's utterly dead. Died in six weeks, replacement in two ! August 16, 2016 Died in six weeks and AMAZON HAS A FOUR weeks warranty. The second one(replacement ) died with deferent symptoms TWO weeks later. I ordered the Motorola. The previous Motorola lasted for eight years, I should have stuck with it. Netgear keeps dropping internet. May 17, 2016 About this Netgear box I have had Time Warner Cable out to check it there box works fine but this box will not work it's defective trying to get another one but my 30 days expired on this and I had bought a warranty waiting to hear back on that |
