Netgear C6900 Provides Consistent Dependable Internet
By Ed on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2021
Modem/Router works Great. I have WOW 200mbps service and this modem provides consistent speed for Zoom Video Meetings. I had the Netgear CG3000D before and it provided the 200 mbps speed but not consistent. It would freeze for a couple of seconds every now and then. This modem router fixed that problem. I can't review the wifi 2.4ghz and 5ghz portion because I have those antenna's turned off. I use 2 TP Link EAP115 in the front and back of the house connected to this device and they transmit dependable wifi signal. We can run 3 zoom meeting at the same time through wifi and host a 4th meeting through a direct connected computer with 200mbps service and not have any laptop or desktop freeze. This device can handle what ever you through at it. I normally have 17 devices connected between 4 amazon sticks, raspberry pi's, laptops, tablets, phones, etc. Did not come in original packaging but everything looks new and works great. Make sure you have good Cat5e of Cat 6 cables. I had cheap supposedly Cat5e cables from Ebay but only transmitted 60-100mbps speed. Test your cables, don't just think they will work because its labeled for 1,000mbps or 10,000mbps. (For the newbie's: You need a modem and router if you want to connect more than one device. Not just a modem and network switch. The modem will not assign IP addresses for multiple devices. OR you can just buy a modem router like this one.)

Good combo device, great price, WiFi not the strongest
By steve hunt on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2021
I pay for 400mbs Comcast cable, and commonly get around 375 with this, which is great. It can peak at 450 on occasion. Setup was fine, the user interface is fine, I’ve used a Netgear router before and everything works like it should. This was a refurbished unit, it came in a nondescript brown box and not original packaging, but the condition is like new. The problem I have is consistent reliability of signal strength at the extremes of my house. I consistently get dropouts with my AppleTV on WiFi, several times a day. It doesn’t matter if I’m using the 2.4 or 5G. I have the device centrally located on 2nd floor of 2000 foot home (regular drywall walls with no insulation in interior walls). To be fair, my precious uber expensive modem router that I rented from Comcast did the same thing, but only once every few days (not several times a day). Funny thing is that my old Netgear AC1200 didn’t have dropouts much at all (lots of buffering with slower speeds and multiple users). I did a signal strength scan with the airport express app on my iPhone, and it showed I had -30db next to the router/modem, and -50db at the AppleTV. This is right on the edge of reliability for HD streaming, and probably too weak for 4K HDR. So I wish the antennas were a bit stronger, and I may have to revert to a powerline network solution for my streaming. I also get tons of dropouts when using WiFi downstairs with my iPhone 12pro max, so I know it is not just a weak receiver antenna in the AppleTV. I do like the built in splitter for 4 connections, the single or dual ports of similar devices are stupid. Wired speeds to my desktop gaming rig is great (350mbs download/22mbs upload). I know the upload speed is the limitation of my connection.
