What Netgear (C3000) N300 Customers Say

The good (Five Stars):

“Although some will advise you to get a separate modem and router rather than a combined unit, I decided to try this combo modem/router (“gateway”), and in 2 months of use, it’s been very fast, reliable, and perfect for my needs …”

The not so good (Three Stars):

“Recently got this modem/access point for a new Comcast connection. It works well as a cable modem. The wifi features are pretty well designed and the interface is easy to navigate. The port forwarding table is easy to set up and allows for port flipping of different external vs. internal ports. The wifi range is very good at least for my home. It covers all floors with at least 4 bars on all devices. The DLNA feature would be nice if there weren’t some USB device reliability issues …”
