You can do much, much better than this router

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this based on the decent reviews it had been getting and several different lists that ranked it as one of the best router options in its category currently on the market. Not sure if I got a lemon or not, but it would only give me a portion of my wireless speed (Ethernet was fine at around 100mbps (I'm only suppose to get about 75mbps), but wireless would only get up to around 27-30+mbps, even sitting right in front of the router). Mbps dropped the further I moved from the router, with no evidence of beam forming. Tried different settings and trouble shooting techniques from various sources to no avail.
Returned the router after a few days and picked up a Netgear with similar specs as this one for about the same price. The Netgear was able to consistently get 70mbps over the 2.4G wireless connection and over 90mbps on the 5G wireless connection, with no trouble shooting necessary, multiple devices wirelessly connected to the router and at various distances from the router. I originally thought the Linksys was being impacted by others who live close by that are on the 2G bandwidth, but clearly that is not the case since the Netgear worked perfectly on both 2G and 5G connections (In case you're curious, I purchased a Netgear CM600).
Seems that there is something wrong with the smart wifi features on this Linksys; buyer beware, especially if you intend to use high-speed internet service and/or need wireless coverage outside of the immediate room where your router is.

Total Life Saver! Quick Charge!
on March 28, 2016
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this in December on sale, and boy was that a great decision!
I never have to worry about running out of power on the go, and can recharge the charger using a quick charger. Its so much easier to just carry this around instead of a whole mess of cords and adapters for each of my portable devices.
Charged my cell phone from nearly total power drain + a tablet and still had all charge indicators on the device sitting at full (meaning it hadn't even used 1/4 of its power to get both devices back to maximum capacity). Biggest problem is trying to get it back from family, friends and co-workers whom I have allowed to charge their devices on it from time to time. :)
My only regret is that I did not grab it during black friday when it was even cheaper than what i got it for (was still researching/comparing it to other devices). Based on reviews of other similar devices (on this website and others), this seems to be the most reliable charger (in its capacity category) and the quickest to recharge once depleted (in its capacity category). There was one on amazon that had slightly higher capacity than this one and solid reviews, but it was stated to have almost twice the recharge time as this one, and I wanted to have my charger in hand the same day as purchased, so I went with this one (this one also has 3 charging ports, whereas the other one only had two).
Great portable charger! Tops off the charge on some of my portable devices better than the chargers they came with! I Highly recommend!

Enjoying my first Gaming Desktop!
on March 28, 2016
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to venture into the world of desktop gaming but wanted to get something good and somewhat future-proof, and this has been the perfect buy! Compared several different pre-made riggs and this was the best overall bundle for the price with the most positive customer feedback (search across multiple electronics vendors). Purchased this as part of a pre-Black Friday sale for $399, when other similar or weaker devices were at least $600+ on the lower end (most cost even higher). One of my best purchases to date!
Easy to set up and use out the box (although it is a bit larger than I expected, especially coming from a mini-tower previously), including remote control for the internal light show that it does. Is as impressive to look at as it is to use. Has several ports and slots for future upgrades (which is perfect for me, since I can use this for several years without having to purchase a whole new rigg anytime soon), and the graphics and speed have been perfect for my uses.
You absolutely cannot go wrong with this piece of hardware. Could only do better if you build one from the ground up.

Purchased this for the flexibility since there was an angle needed for the HDMI cord on my HDTV. This did the trick and works as expected. No connectivity issues or problems. Performs exactly as expected.

Good for the Price

Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this at a discounted price, and bought it for the holster/clip more than the shell (I have a designer case on my phone). Holster is a bit bulky, but it is able to holster phone with a designer case with no problem. My previous Verizon holster/clip & case combo was thinner & could only holster the phone with the included case. If you are willing to have a slightly more bulky clip/holster, this will allow you some customization options for cases.
One con: There is a silver screw/bolt that holds the clip section of the holster together, and this was loose when I opened this product. I tightened this and have not had any problems, but I've taken a star off since I should not have had to do that to begin with. Holster works as expected.

Luv this system!
on September 20, 2015
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was using a different, older 2.1 system with my new Smart HDTV when one of the satellite speakers gave way. Although the subwoofer on that system & the remaining satellite still work very well, I decided to upgrade to a whole new system. I had heard that this system was comparable to a Logitech Z2300 system that I also own & LUV to death, so I decided to give this system a try, and it sounds great! I can confidently say that you will not find a system with this kind of power in a 2.1 set-up for this price. It is the last of a disappearing breed of 2.1 systems, so I would not hesitate to grab it while you still can. Your other option would be to invest in a full-fledged entertainment system, which will definitely cost more that this.
If you like your bass to hit hard whenever it hits, this is the perfect system for you. The Logitech system I mentioned above is the only other 2.1 system that carries this kind of thumping bass and overall output power, and they do not appear to make that system anymore (outside of special order perhaps, as far as I can tell). I couldn't have asked for a better system to assimilate into my new entertainment set-up.
Bass is adjustable, and it mixes well with the sound from the satellites. The only drawback is that there are cords galore for this thing (at least in comparison to other 2.1 systems that I've owned). It could be worse I suppose, but they definitely could have streamlined the cording. Also, this system does not have a remote of any kind (corded or otherwise), so unless you can control it through whatever system you hook it up to (which is possible), you will have to manually adjust the volume & bass on the system yourself.

Purchased this to go along with an HDTV purchase (needed this to hook one of my laptops to the TV) and it works splendidly. It comes in different lengths, so make sure you have the appropriate length for your set-up area.

The NETGEAR 24 x 8 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem provides a connection to high-speed cable Internet, up to 960Mbps - 24 downstream & 8 upstream channels. It's CableLabs DOCSIS 3.0 Certified to work with cable Internet providers XFINITY from Comcast, Spectrum, Cox, Cablevision and more.
Any more available?
Any idea when this will be available online or at the store?
You would probably have to check with your local bestbuy regarding if/when they plan to have more in stock at the store, but as an FYI, I went to purchase this item at my local BestBuy store after checking online and seeing that same-day pick-up was available. When I got to the store, a sales clerk tried to assist me with locating this item, and he could not find it (and proceeded to try to tell me it was not available anymore; This is the second time this has happened to me with a sales clerk at BestBuy). I simply went home and ordered it online for pick-up at the store, and they had it ready for me shortly thereafter (I could have done this at the store and just waited, if I'd had my smart phone with me). My point, check online to see if the item is in stock and able to be picked up from the store. If it is, order it online to make sure that you have no issues with undisplayed inventory at the store.

Is the modem in this router DSL compatible, i.e. With embarq service
My embarq service is over phone line
You may have submitted your question for the wrong product; This is for the AC1600 Dual Band Router, which is strictly a router and does NOT have a modem incorporated.
There is another Netgear product listed as an AC1600, but it is a gateway device (meaning that it has both a modem and router integrated into the device). The other device cost about $200, which is at least $70 more expensive than this item.
For your convenience, Ive included all three AC 1600 items currently sold on bestbuy, so that you can identify your intended item. Please note that one is just a router (this product), while the other two are modem-router combos (one of which, I believe, is what you are asking about).
