For a gigabit switch, this was acceptable, but compared to prices of Fast Ethernet switches this is not such a good deal. Still, if GigE speed is needed this product is fine.

This is a nice product, 64 GB for very little money. But the USB v2.0 interface makes it slow to copy over large amounts of data.

This router was reasonably priced but it's not very stable. It will drop Wi-Fi connections randomly, especially the 5.0 GHz band.

What's great about it: Good sound for the price
What's not so great: Bland, vanilla look and feel
I'm using these as cheap book shelf speakers, and for the price they are working out great. Not the best sound, but definitely the best price.

What is a compatable battery backup for the GT784WYN?

Any UPS would work perfectly fine with this or any other modem/router for that matter. This device has no internal battery backup capability itself.

Should I buy a dual - band router instead of this model?

I'm not sure if my home network will require having a dual band router or not. I currently have my home security system, home DVR and sling box attached to a Netgear dual-band router. The router I just purchased "Zoom - N300 wireless router" is not a dual band router. Do I need to return this router and purchase a dual-band router or not?
A dual band router theoretically will allow faster speeds, by letting you setup some devices to use one band and others to use the second band. In reality, there's not not much improvement. This device should work fine, because most folks don't understand that you have to configure the two bands in the first place and use them both.

Will this work with Xfinity

Thinking of switching to Xfinity Triple Play. This modem is on Xfinity approved list. Will it work with their voice service and new internet speed?
Yes, this should work, but I haven't personally used it for voice.
