Great Modem That Worked Right From The Start
One of the biggest problems with a lot of cable modems is that you never know what you’re going to get until you unbox it and plug it in: will it work with your current devices? Will your ISP recognize it? Will it hold a connection? Does the Wi-Fi work? Can you bridge connections? Can you chain routers? Etc., etc., etc.I’ve been through quite a few modems over the last ten years, at least six. And I have to say, the Netgear AC1200 has been the easiest to setup and the most comprehensive when it comes to managing it and connecting devices.Yes, it has been one of the more expensive cable modems I’ve bought, but the features make it worth it. One of the best parts about it is that once you hook it up and power it on, you can access the modem remotely from any device connected to the AC1200 either via Wi-Fi or through a router connection. This is a huge boon, because I’ve had some modems where you can’t access them if you’re connected through a separate router connected to the cable modem. Here, it’s always accessible and always secure.The setup process is extremely intuitive, as it guides you through the process on setting up the modem for the first time based on your internet provider, but once that’s done, there are a lot of great GUI features to make navigating the controls, settings, administration features, and connection rates with ease.One of the biggest problems I’ve had with past modems is not being able to limit bandwidth or set rate limits, but with the AC1200 you can schedule access based on time of day (which is great if you have kids that you don’t want online past or before a certain time), bandwidth limitations to prevent bandwidth caps from being exceeded, as well as access control, guest control, and even 5G connectivity. I’m still learning some of the ins and outs of how the modem works, and some of the more advanced settings, but it’s been amazing so far and I love its sleek design, quick boot-up times, and expansive user control settings. Also, being able to hook up multiple routers and bridge connections with nary a hiccup is really why this gets a 5 out of 5 stars.

Great Wi-Fi router!
I’ve been using this Wi-Fi router for a few weeks now and overall, I’m quite impressed. The setup was easy and straightforward, even for someone who isn’t particularly tech-savvy. Once I had it up and running, the connection was fast and reliable. I’ve been able to stream videos, play online games, and browse the internet without any lag or buffering.The range is also quite good. I live in a relatively small apartment, but I can easily connect to the Wi-Fi from every room without any issues. I also appreciate the security features, which give me peace of mind when I’m browsing online.The only reason I’m giving this router four stars instead of five is that I’ve had a couple of instances where the connection dropped for no apparent reason. It was usually only for a minute or two, and it hasn’t happened frequently enough to be a major issue, but it’s still a bit annoying.Overall, I would definitely recommend this Wi-Fi router to anyone who’s looking for a reliable, easy-to-use option with good range and security features.

Stopped working with Xfinity
This was working well, but all of a sudden stopped working with Xfinity connection. Tried all sorts of troubleshooting, eventually the service provider support guy came and proved internet connectivity is fine by testing with Xfinity modem/router. Very unreliable experience.
