Great modem/router!

The Motorola MG7700 is an excellent modem/router. It replaced an old Netgear N450 modem/router that kept dropping WiFi and had to keep restarting. Setting up the MG7700 was very easy and didn't even require a call to Comcast to set it up. I just went to the activation page and entered my Comcast account information. The MG7700 was connected to the Comcast network within 15 minutes (150 Mbit/s tariff). The MG7700 has improved WiFi connectivity with all my N and AC wireless devices. I live in a 2,400 square foot house and have multiple RING security cameras around the house. The connection between the MG7700 and all RING devices is fast and uninterrupted. I also have 3 Rokus, a Samsung Smart TV, a Honeywell thermostat, 3 cell phones, 2 laptops, a tablet, 2 Echo Dots and 3 Revain Smart Switches that are connected to the MG7700 intermittently throughout the day. Thanks to outstanding WiFi speeds, they all stay connected. In fact, my Acer laptop connects via AC Wireless at 866 Mbps. Most Wireless-N devices connect at around 156 Mbps and everything stays connected with no dropouts. I also have 3 desktops (1 server) and 1 network printer connected to 4 ethernet ports with no connectivity issues. I've been a network administrator for over 20 years so setting up the MG7700 was very easy for me. For those who need help, there are many websites that will show you how to 'tune' the MG7700 settings for the best wireless connection. Trust me, these suggestions work to maximize WiFi connections. For security reasons, I strongly recommend changing the username and password of the MG7700. Also change the SSIDs and their security keys and the default IP address for the MG7700. Finally, make sure the firewall is enabled. This protects your home network from prying eyes. I've used many Motorola products over the years and they all work great. MG7700 is no exception. Those who leave bad reviews either don't know how to properly configure a wireless router, or just got a lemon (it happens). I would highly recommend the MG7700 to anyone who needs a fast, secure and reliable home network.
