Reviews around setup (5.00 of 5)

  • Speed: When working properly, the speed of the CG7500 on 5Ghz is good, with download speed at over 250MB/s and upload at 30MB/s, consistent with the speed of Internet service I pay Comcast for.
  • Setup was easy and it came with directions to register with Comcast cable.

Reviews around tv (5.00 of 5)

  • One thing I noticed right away is that the smart TV in my bedroom clear across the house isn't hanging up and buffering anymore in Hulu
  • Moreover, I wasn't able to install my 'peripheral' devices (e.g., 'smart TV's', thermostats, refrigerators, baby monitors, etc.) on the 'guest' network like I had with my previous routers

Reviews around work (4.40 of 5)

  • When it is not working correcting, many devices do not "see" the router network and therefore cannot connect
  • I don't recommend this product until the bugs are worked out (which should have been before it shipped).
  • He said it's rather easy to install and so far works good and easily manages our household wireless needs with the Xfinity service.
  • After I reset the modem and followed the instructions it was easier and it has been working great with awesome service.
  • Perhaps this works just fine with a smaller number of devices or non-Apple products

Reviews around tech support (4.16 of 5)

  • After a series of conversations with the Linksys tech support and product management staff, I confirmed that this product does not work seamlessly with Apple products, and that their 'guest' network is only designed to support individuals who want to browse the internet (i.e., 'smart devices' and peripherals will likely not function on the 'guest

Reviews around signal (4.16 of 5)

  • This unit also has poorer signal range than a Comcast Xfinity-provided rental cable-modem.
  • With the help of the Linksys technical help, we tried multiple frequencies to improve the signal, but none really improved the situation.2) Regular disconnections.
  • I’ve had steady signals both ether and WiFi with no drops in speed
  • Our wi-fi, consisting of one Apple AirPort Express) as a base router and another as a signal repeater, has been quite finicky and not always as reliable as we'd prefer.
  • I do wish it had some external antennaes to boost its signal.

  • This router didn't work from the start
  • Disconnected my old router and set this one up with it working in about 30 minutes.

  • As well, Spectrum (formerly Time Warner) now lists this modem as "minimally compatible."I've lowered the rating from five star to three
  • Admittedly, the software connection with the modem and Xfinity didn't work as described the first time I tried, but it worked just fine the second time
  • Any time you can turn two systems into one and actually make it work better, faster, and more efficiently, it's a win
  • Lately it freezes a few times a week requiring a power reset and dropping my security cameras
  • Admittedly, the software connection with the modem and Xfinity didn't work as described the first time I tried, but it worked just fine the second time
