What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly value this modem router for its exceptional raw performance and future proofing. The DOCSIS 3.1 and Wi-Fi 6 integration delivers significant speed improvements, justifying the cost for power users maximizing their internet plans. The core strength is the speed and stability achieved once operational, making it a worthwhile investment to avoid rental fees. However, the initial setup and activation process frequently causes friction, often requiring lengthy support calls with ISPs. Additionally, while the modem excels, some users note that the integrated Wi-Fi router's range is limited in larger homes, sometimes necessitating supplemental mesh systems.
