Customer Reviews
We had Time Warner Cable installed about a week ago and decided to purchase the Netgear N300 Wi-Fi DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Router (C3000) instead of renting one. The installers set it up with no problems and said they were familiar with this modem router and it was an easy one to install. We have had it a week and after only having DSL for year (we live in a rural area where this was our only option for an Internet connection at 1.5 mbps). Now we have 50 mbps and love the speed we can load pages. The Wifi works great for my Kindles and laptop computer and not once in the first week have we been without service using this new modem router. If you want a router to Time Warner this one works great in Eastern North Carolina.
I have Comcast for wifi only, and I was trying to get rid of their modem so I could get out of the monthly modem rental fee. I don't have cable - all of my "tv" watching is from streaming or an antenna that I have to pick up a couple local channels for the news. So good wifi is extremely important in my house.
