Sucks. After 2 years some reason my upload dropped from 2Mbps to .3Mbps. I bought two of these things and both have the same problem. Purchase a new router and modem and still the same problem. Formatted my computer and still the same problem. Purchase a different brand wireless wifi adapter and I am back at 2Mbps. No firmware updates. Warranty policy is crap.

At least once every 24 hours this router drops the internet connection, requiring a reboot to correct. The company obviously knows the product has this flaw, as it no longer supports the router despite the fact that it is still relatively new and is still widely sold as a new product. It works fine when it works, but with frequent (daily or more often) failures it is an enormous pain in the butt to use. Given that the company won't respond to support questions and offers no help online or in its forums I won't purchase another product by the company.

Please realize that a number of cable company supplied modems are not compatible with this router! If you have cable/phone/internet with your cable company most of their modems act also as routers. This causes issues with this router communicating consistently with the modem. When one goes down, either the router or the modem, they fail to resync because of this. The internet connection will not be restored until you unplug both router and modem at the same time. I researched this issue and the only fix is to have the modem and router bridged, this can only be done by the admin of the modem, the cable company, which they won't do because it is not their router and against their policy!

The router also for some reason fails to remember what IP addresses it gives out and will constantly give out the same address which causes IP conflcts. I tried everything to live with this router, I literally assigned static IP addresses to everything that connected with this router, that fixed the IP conflicts but the router/modem communication issue was impossible to fix on my end. I would literally have to reboot the modem and router about five to ten time a day! This was unacceptable. I went back my old router which is also a Belkin N but not the N plus. It has worked with no issues so far. It also has seemed a lot faster. I will not purchase anything from Belkin again even though this issue may be deemed something out of their control, it is a very common issue with this router that should be addressed.

When stable the speeds weren't as good as the regular N model. I also had issues with security preventing access to the storage drive. If you have after market security, which most people do, it prevents access to the storage depending on your level of security. You can make an exception in your security but this workaround was sporadic at best.

Bought 1 a year ago. Stopped working so decided to try again instead of paying the rental fee from internet company. SO last one lasted about a year. Got a new one and it did not even last a month. Get internet is slow and you get kicked off all the time. Cant return it either so just wasted $50.

I've had this modem for less than a week and it drops the internet at least 3 times a day for no reason. I just got this one to replace one exactly like it and had no troubles with the other one for a year and a half. The only way I can get the modem to reestablish the internet is to unplug it and plug it back in.

Expected more from Linksys; used in a two bedroom apartment and could not pick up a signal at the other end of the apartment. ( Fairly average size NYC apartment). Returned it and bought a Netgear router which worked much better. I'd say if you will be gaming or streaming movies in a decent size building, this might not be for you.

i purchased this AC1200 router because IT at work told me it was a good brand and the AC technology was the best. I replaced an tplink n router because sometimes i would get buffering with it when watching netflix. This router is far worse than the router i replaced. If i go in my bedroom which isn't far at all from the router i lose internet every 3 minutes. The signal is the lowest bar and then every three minutes i lose the bottom bar and have to restart every time. In the living room it works great. I think people should really look at what devices they have that use AC as it isn't uncommon to find that bo devices in their house uses ac and the n300 on this router is the worst i have ever seen. i kept thinking it was my walls or something but my n300 router puts this one to shame. it will now go to the storage closet with the other three routers that didn't perform or were replaced by what i thought was better. in short the range on this router is pathetic.

I purchased this item because I have areas on my house were I don't get internet signal, the Netgear n300 worked the first day and after that it crash all the time, there's even times I can't connect to internet at all, I can't relied on my computer to connect to the netgear range extender to do work. I feel I lost my money in this purchase. :(

DO NOT BUY. Instead get the NETGEAR AC1750 (16x4) Wi-Fi Cable Modem Router (C6300). Initially, I liked the white, sleak look of the Arris Surfboard SBG6782 along with the relatively good Amazon reviews. First one I got was completely hosed; kept assigning an IPv4 address to the IPv6 setting. Returned it for a replacement and got the second one it up and working... for a day at the most. Wi-fi signal kept dropping, range was horrible, and the worst part was I would be connected to the Wi-Fi but my devices would show as No Internet Connection. Power off/power on of the Surfboard would resolve the issues for a couple hours, but then they'd come back. Just horrible. Finally read up on Amazon reviewers who had the same issue with the Surfboard and they pointed to the Netgear AC1750/C6300 combo. I bought the Netgear and haven't had any problems with, works awesome. Do yourself a favor and just get the NETGEAR AC1750 (16x4) Wi-Fi Cable Modem Router (C6300) for the couple extra bucks.

This is a great modem if you are only planning on using it to connect a single computer directly to this device.  I wanted to connect it to a VOIP phone line and media Link router.  Every time I disconnected the ethernet cable I instantly lost my connection to the internet which means that I was not able to hook up any additional devices to this modem.  Each time the connection is lost my ISP (century Link), requires a re-authorization.  This modem does not have a feature in its interface that will allow you to set the user name and password. Many other modems do have that feature. As I am not a computer expert I was unable to find any way around this issue.  I contacted TP Link customer support which was probably in India and was barely able to understand the lady. After about an hour or so of "could you repeat that", I was able to apply her recommendations to no avail. She had given me the wrong VPI and VCI settings (found in the modems interface).  Installation is simple and quick as long as you just connect to one computer, otherwise I wouldn't waste the time.

I was in a hurry to get wifi access for my desktop, so I made the mistake of buying this product at Best Buy.

The reception and speed on this thing is a joke. It is so bad that the internet is basically unusable. Even Google's homepage takes over thirty seconds to load - and that's at modest distance (20 ft?) from my router. Worse still, there are a number of products (e.g.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/TP-LINK-TL-WN722N-Wireless-N150-High-Gain-USB-Adapter-150Mbps-w-4-dBi-High-Gain-Detachable-Antenna-IEEE-802-1b-g-n-WEP-WPA-WPA2/dp/B002WBX9C6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wireless N150 High Gain USB Adapter,150Mbps, w/4 dBi High Gain Detachable Antenna, IEEE 802.1b/g/n, WEP, WPA/WPA2</a>) that cost less and perform way better. I know, because I threw this awful receiver out and bought one of those instead.

Do yourself a favor, save your money, and buy a different wifi receiver.

I purchased this modem to replace the rental unit from Comcast. Upon receiving it I contacted Comcast and they were able to register the device with no issues. I've been using this modem for two months and now it has trouble staying online. I initially believed that my older router was the issue, so I purchased a Linksys AC1900 Max Stream EA7500 router. I set up the router hoping the issue would be solved. Unfortunately the internet continued to have interruptions. My streaming devices (computers, Firesticks, and Nest cameras) continued to go down at all hours of the day. I currently have Comcast Blast and had a 91 Mbps download and 12 Mbps download with my old set up. The only conclusion I've come to is that this modem is not what it claims to be. I've passed my return window and now I'm out $70.

My advice is to look elsewhere. I've always had problems with Motorola devices, and this has just confirmed my decision to avoid Motorola all together. I'll be looking at the Arris Surfboard SB6183 for replacement.

This works good if you want to use it just as a modem !!! My Internet provider provided me 100Mbps but I am getting only 25 Mbps in wifi. This router can't deliver signal more than 25 Mbps irrespective of the signal it is getting. When I called Netgear, they are saying that I am out of 90 Day Technical support window and they want me to pay at least $50 to fix the issue ( If they can fix it). Stayaway from Netgear !!

I bought this on Amazon to replace a Netgear modem. There have been repeated issues within a very short period of time. Wifi frequently drops needing a modem reset, and Cox tells me there is a hardware problem.
