Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this router due that my previous router, an older Netgear one, was starting to drop our internet connection over our WiFi. The old router was 5-6 years old, so I thought it was about time to replace it and purchased this router. At first, our WiFi remained stable. However, after only a few days of stability, the WiFi once again began going out. The connection would just continue to drop randomly throughout the day, and it seemed to get worse at times. I thought perhaps it was our ISP, but after a few visits and discussing the issue with the ISP, I discovered it wasn't the ISP. It was both of my Netgear routers. To be sure, I did some research to find out what was going on and discovered that Netgear has had this issue for quite some time. It has to do with their firmware for their routers. After a certain version, this issue began popping up and has constantly been rearing it's ugly head, regardless of them trying to get rid of the issue. It has been an issue for quite a few years (wasn't one for me with the old router due that I hadn't updated the firmware until late last year, which was right around the time the WiFi dropping issue began). I saw fixes for the issue but it involved rolling back to older versions of the firmware, which I really didn't want to do. In the end, I decided to get an Arris DG2470 Cable Modem, which has WiFi built into it. Suddenly, the WiFi randomly dropping issue stopped being an issue. It only confirms that Netgear has an issue still with it's firmware to me. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice router, but for me, dealing with a constantly random WiFi connection dropping is not worth it. Perhaps if the firmware can be corrected, it would be a good router, but otherwise, it's junk to me.
