Speed up your internet access

Keep the data flowing with a super-fast router, too

I was OK with Comcast monthly rental fee until they raised their rate (AGAIN!!!!!!). In seven months, this unit will pay for itself. Equally important, reception is better. I was operating at three bars with the Comcast modem. This has changed to FIVE BARS wit this Netgear modem!
