Product ReviewsNetgear C3700 WiFi Cable Modem Router

Beware speeds

This is a pretty solid gateway, but beware speeds. I'm on TWC and was getting 230 down on their router. Since this is rated for 300, I thought I would get the same. TWC (and the others, I think) only provision 8 channel routers for 100 down. It is capped. Routers like this can do 300 in theory, but the providers won't allow it. That said, a router that will is a few hundred. It took forever to determine why I was getting 100 (actually 125) but that's the story. Still good speeds though, and I'm saving on modem rental. Oh, Netgear Tech support... don't bother. lol. Clueless.

Works great if it is sitting next to your computer.

Could not be more disappointed. Download speeds of 50 MPS using the ethernet cable. Using wifi it drops to 45 MPS if it is sitting right next to the laptop. Bring the laptop to the next room and it drops to 10 MPS. Bring it downstairs and it drops under 1 MPS if you are lucky enough to get a signal. This is a conventional stick built home. No steel beams etc. Just 2x4's and sheetrock. Same results with three different laptops. Carrier is Mediacom and the plan is for 60MPS max download. Read full review...

Modem / Router exactly as described

Modem very easy to install and manage online. Modern sleek design looks good in the family room. Speed of the router exactly as my provider allows, so no problems uploading or downloading. Signal falls off a little at 25 feet, but my wireless printer still works well at that distance (in another room). Direct wire connection to my Roku, and the TV picture is truly awesome.

excellent product and price!

setup is as easy as pie. i am pc literate so i may be biased (if you aren't just follow the easy directions `in order`... but it took me 15 min (10 min modem doing its initial setup). using xfinity/activation page i didn't even have to talk to anyone, needed none of the new modem's info at all they just texted me a code and the new modem setup with all of the original modem's parameters.sweet!Read full review...

Excellent Device, Works Great. Wish service was less $$

Love the device and service area: wish the service was less EXPENSIVE!

We used this to keep the kids online in school as we went on vacation. The only place it didn't work was out in the middle of the Navajo reservation in Northern Arizona (the cell phones didn't work either). Even when the device said it had only analog service, the kids were still able to connect to school and get their assignments. Very happy with the performance of the device.

The service PRICE is another matter. I realize that companies have to make a profit.... SO, can't complain too much. Wish there were lower priced plans available.Read full review...

Much better than paying monthly rental

Bought it used, works exactly as it should, even has a better download rate than what my plan says it should

All in all this is a GREAT device. Highly recommended for EVERYONE.

For those of you who live in an area in which you cannot get traditional internet service (thru cable / satelite etc) this MiFi is an excellent choice. We recently moved to such an area. We also run a business out of our home and have a high demand for the internet. Unbeknownst to us that there were NO internet providers that covered our rural area. I guess we were spoiled and assumed everyone had the same multiple choices in internet providers. Anyway, the MiFi 5510L works like a dream. We have excellent 4G Verizon signal. Prior to this I really never thought about using our 4G for our household internet needs. This device has a rated for speeds of up to 12 Mbps.. but we have seen it way higher. We have clocked our speeds as low as 10 Mbps download and nearly the same in upload (very impressive). We have seen it as high as 35 Mbps (WOW). We have run multiple devices at once on this MiFi. I have had my computer on using FaceBook and playing a FB game while listening to Pandora on my laptop. In the other room my husband would be streaming Netflix or Youtube with his PS3 while playing online games with the tablet.... and playing his Pandora thru his phone connected to a wireless speaker. All worked seamlessly. It has NEVER dropped a connection yet. We do take a few mini vacations per year and cannot wait to take this with us. Never have to worry about being without internet. You do, however, to be mindful of it's power level. It charges up really quick and holds the charge for hours (most of the day). One drawback I have noticed and would like to see is the actual data usage on the device. There is a data usage icon but when pressed it only shows what plan you are on with Verizon. All in all this is a GREAT product and I recommend it for everyone. Very easy to set up and use.. Just plug and play. WONDERFUL!Read full review...

dual band issues

Great device. I was having issues connecting my Bluetooth keyboard and surfing the internet at the same time. I was recommended to get a device that was dual band and fixed the problem,. I have not had the issue since. The product I bought was refurbished but came in the package as if it was a brand new product.Read full review...

Good Range

Good router / modem. Got good range in single story home - up to five room away on 2.4Ghz. Got maximum bandwidth available on speed tests, frequently. Router interface could be improved but Netgear has always had the worst UI for its products compared to other brands like Asus.Read full review...
