Works flawlessly with Comcast
on January 12, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
The nice thing about this modem is I combined it and a Netgear R6400 router to replace the sub-par modem/router combo provided by Xfinity Comcast. This modem is "pre-approved" by Comcast, which makes set up simple. That fact combined with the modem's critical reviews made it an easy choice to purchase. Together, the modem and router work flawlessly and are top notch. The modem screams, and the router handles all the data with no problems.

Handles all of my network needs with no problems.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Netgear interface is easy to navigate and has intuitive menus. Mine handles 12 devices (including our printer, Nest thermostat, Dropcam, 3 tablets, 1 laptop, a TV, 2 gaming devices, and two phones). Plus any devices my friends bring over for Fantasy football. (But I know it can handle a lot more.) My streaming, downloading, entertainment, and business work are done without network hiccups. I have used several testing apps to analyze network and band traffic, and the R6400 performs like advertised. The only thing I wish it had is the ability to dim the lights on the front of the unit just a bit.

It holds my phone, and stays attached to my window

Verified Purchase:Yes
This product performs as advertised. The flexible arm allows me to position it exactly where I need it, the "gripping" system allows me to easily insert and remove my phone, and the suction cup system works perfectly. I only wish the button for removing your phone was a bit more prounounced.
I am glad I purchased this particular model.
A recommendation: wherever you mount it, I suggest you find a way to support the arm to minimize bouncing. The suction cup won't let go, but minimizing bouncing is nice. For instance, if mounting on the windshield, put a bend in the arm to rest the holder on the dashboard. It doesn't bounce and stays perfectly still.

Works as it should. But way too expensive.

The ink works as it should as an OEM product.
I read somewhere that by weight, printer ink is more expensive than gold... Why?
Additionally, OEM ink is multiple times more expensive than generic ink. But printer manufacturers put chips on ink cartridges to keep consumers from using generic ink. If the original supplier would lower the price of their ink, there would be more consumers who would stay with the OEM product instead of trying to find a way around the price gouging... And the original manufacturer would keep more ink purchasing customers.
The ink quality is fine, but I don't recommend this product to a friend because of the price...

My wife loves it.

It fits well and the colors haven't faded or rubbed off. The surface is rather slick, but the soft touch on the side makes it easier to hold on to.

How does the computer receive the signal from the wireless router do I need to buy some sort of anttena

The router has antenna's which "push" and "receive" data across your network to your computer and other network devices. Some routers have one antenna, some have 2, some have 6, etc. Some of them even have antenna's built inside the router so you can't see them.
Your computer has a wireless card with has it's own built in antenna (which you can't see), and it communicates with the router.
Together, your computer and router use their pre-existing antenna's to send data back and forth.
So- the short answer to your questions is No. Unless you live in a large house (or have multiple walls/floors which can cause the signal to have trouble making it through), you do not need to buy some sort of antenna.
