Title: WiFi range is jaw dropping!
Review: I bought this renewed product on Amazon for $119 and got extended 2 years warranty for $30 from Netgear. So total price was $149 in all. A brand new one comes for $189 with the same warranty. So I saved $40 that I can use for a good takeout dinner!Setup was a breeze and took 10 minutes tops. Xfinity has made it very easy indeed. Comcast rented gateway was good (brand Arris) and the technical metrics on paper (such as upstream/downstream channel, WiFi speed, docsis version) on that one similar to Netgear C7000.However the C7000 blew me away with its WiFi range. My Comcast one would become spotty in my garage (2500 sq feet single family colonial house). This C7000 one works neatly from my neighborâs entrance and I have a 120 feet long driveway. I have a 1.47 acre plot and I could make WiFi calls to folks inside the house from anywhere on the plot.My comcast one was giving WiFi drops 4/5 times a day on weekdays when many people are wfh. This one had no issues on first business day at work so far. So we will have to see how it performs over time and I will update this review if I see any problem.I called Netgear tech support to ask about additional warranty (they only sent me offers on email as soon as I registered the device) and my experience on that was very positive too. I will know more if I needed actual hardware/firmware help.So, if things donât turn ugly, I should be saving the modem rental money after my 11th month and I anyway have full hardware warranty for 2 years.I have a 100 mbps xfinity internet package and have multiple WiFi devices (3laptops, 3phones, Roku, chromecast, home security, monitor camera, smart thermostats, smart plug, echo devices, guest phones/tabs at times, etc.) and havenât seen WiFi drops on any yet and surfing speed is quite good too. This device supports only up to 400 mbps for Comcast - so always check that. If you are big time into online gaming then you may invest in a docsis3.1 one or a game oriented router. But this device does a hell of a job for a normal family with varying internet/WiFi needs.

Title: Excellent Router/Modem Combo
Review: So I bought this refurb throough Amazon. I also bought the 3 year protection plan with it. Because all together it was cheaper than the item new.Pros - Works well took it to my Internet Provider Imon Communcations and they were able to add it right away without any issues. Took it home and connected it up without any issue as well. It's easy to configure if you've set up one Netgear router this one works pretty much the same. Signal has been stable so far and I've got up to 15 wireless devices (Roku's, Laptops, Smart TV's, Cell Phones, Game Consoles) connected at any given time.Cons - If you want to update the firmware... you have to have your have your cable company do it because it's locked to the modem side of the modem/router combo. Signal doesn't reach as far as some other routers it's still decent but my old Netgear (R6700) Nighthawk had better range not by a lot mind you but it's noticeable.Over all I am still beyond pleased with the purchase as it allowed me to free a fair amount of space and cabling. I normally avoid router/modem combo's like the plague however this one seems to be well made.

Title: Perfect with xfinity
Review: Speed is great and signal is decent for a 1500sqf apartment. Pretty easy to setup with xfinity. However, please note it does not come with a coaxial cable so you need to get one yourself.

Title: No Instructions!
Review: This is a ârenewedâ product and seems to work ok. But there were no instructions - not even a reference to a website. It makes me wonder what else was left out of the package.

Title: Worked well while it lasted. Dead after 5 months.
Review: The router/modem was easy to set up and initially worked well. Then it started giving me problems (oddly enough, on the last day of the return window! Coincidence?): Internet connectivity became intermittent (over Wi-Fi or Ethernet). The unit would work for a few minutes after a restart, only to fail again. After a couple days of such bad behavior (after I temporarily replaced it with a unit I purchased at BestBuy, in the middle of the pandemic), it worked for another couple months, only to start misbehaving again. I spent an entire day on the phone with Comcast and NETGEAR. Eventually, a representative of NETGEAR concluded the unit was toast.I would advice against getting this refurbished unit. The price may be tempting, but it's not worth the trouble you may be getting into.Oh, and NETGEAR gives you 90 days of warranty! After that they will charge you a lot of money for a warranty extension ($50/3 mo, $180/yr or $280/2 yrs). And the best they could do was to tell me to perform a factory-reset of the device! Gah!
