Review on πŸ”Œ NETGEAR AC1200 WiFi DSL Modem Router: Fast Dual Band Gigabit Internet Access (D6200) by Gary Stringfield

Revainrating 5 out of 5

SLOW as a glacier! best of modems

I was tempted to buy this expensive $149 DSL modem because it advertised fast 802.11ac wireless speeds. But it was about 50% slower than my 2 year old and less expensive $69 Netgear 300N modem, which only supports 802.11n. So Netgear is essentially forcing me to ditch that expensive "modern" DSL modem and go back to my old and much cheaper Netgear 300N DSL modem! I reconnected my old 300N modem tonight to see if it's significantly faster than the AC1200 (6200) modem and it really is!

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Poor instructions
