Unit doesn't get too hot, warm to the touch only.
Only 2 available ethernet ports, so plan accordingly if you want to use this device with more than 2 ethernet connected machines. Only the routing portions of this WiFi Cable Modem Router were tested. This is device isn't amazing, but it is possibly way better than anything your ISP would bundle you.Ĭable Modem related functions are un-tested. However, think of it more of a replacement for the really bad cable-modem router your cable ISP would give you. More basic things like VPN server or secure remote management is missing. Overall Review: When purchasing this modem-router combo don't be expecting premium router features. I did not test a USB 3.0 connected Hard Drive, but speeds won't be any better. I tested both a USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 thumb drive. rsync recorded a whooping 602KB/s for transferring a 600MB file over to a USB thumb drive.
Copy speed to USB readyshare drive was abysmal. Only one DDNS service available (- Remote management does not have https connection. Admin UI has a lot of menus for logs and connection info, including downstream/upstream connection stats. USB readyshare functionality allows for https connection. Has a handy Wireless Channel proximity scanner to see other SSIDs in the area. Just handy if you want to use your own router. Router mode can be disabled you so can just use as a cable modem. Standard NETGEAR parental controls allow for site blocking by keyword or domain, service blocking, by schedule and has e-mail notifications for alerts. Admin UI is fairly well easy to use and allows for a decent amount of customization. Pros: - Uses NETGEAR's newer admin UI similar to their other routers like the R7000.
