All I had to do was unhook the old Fios rented modem and hook up the new modem from Dontleaseyourmodem.com. It works great. I only had to call Fios to get a return kit for the rental. I've told my friends at work about this great deal.

I purchased my modem and now I do not have to lease one.
I was able to follow the easy instructions and did not have a problem installing it. I am glad I made the decision to purchase one. Thank you again

We got our modem and couldn't believe how easy it was to hook up and the resolution on all of our devices including our TV increased dramatically! It was packaged well and came in a very reasonable time!

Don't do it
September 22, 2019

Purchased a Verizon FIOS G-1100 modem/router for Verizon FIOS service. Modem started dropping connection on a daily basis after 6 months. They will exchange, but not refund. Tech support only thru e-mail, not phone. And Verizon will not support issues with the modem either. Don't buy your own modem and don't buy from them.

Customer S. Buy Your Own Modem Rep
over a year old

Very sorry to hear that you are having problems but I must say we are quite shocked at your accusations. Allow us to fulfill the context as you purchased a modem from us OVER 6 MONTHS AGO and stated that you are now having wifi trouble which could be a number of things besides the modem. Nonetheless, we back up our customers with a 1 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY and so you can't lose money from us as you paid $70 for this item which Verizon currently sells for $200 and 6 months later you come back to us and we say we have your back and will issue you a replacement and you smear us?! Had you purchased this on Amazon or Ebay or most any other vendor then good luck getting any help as their policy is 60-90 days standard but luckily you bought it from us and so we said we would be willing to issue you a replacement and somehow we end up with a 1 star. If you rented this unit from Verizon then it would cost you $10/month or $120/yr of which you only paid $70 from us with a 1 yr warranty and so we design our warranty so that our customers can't lose! So it is all relative as yes you if pay us $200 for one like you did from Verizon then sure we would be happy to make an exception and give you phone support, but otherwise you have to call your provider for activation so calling us doesn't do you much good naturally but we do provide helpful troubleshooting tips and links via email as this is much easier then reading the user guide or spelling out a link for you over the phone. We have over 99.6% on Amazon and Ebay as a TOP RATED SELLER and have over 3000 POSITIVE REVIEWS on our website so if providing a 1 year warranty for our customers so someone like you can send it back for a replacement if needed is wrong then we don't want to be right and we will just have to turn our cheek and take your cheap shot 1 star review.

Works like A Champ
February 25, 2020

Very easy to install. Works very well. 7ms ping, Upload 119mbps and 101mbps download. Arrived in good shape, cost we substantially lower than buying one from Verizon. Has worked great for the two weeks I have had it. Not issues at all and the wireless coverage is very good in my house. Do not need for a wireless extender any more.

Very Pleased

I bought the model that matched the modem I was leasing from Xfinity so that I knew it would work. I made the mistake of not throughly reading the instructions that were sent and not being properly helped by Xfinity when I called them. I finally was able to get ahold of someone knowledgeable at Xfinity and we were able to connect it just fine. So glad I bought my own modem to save money. It was a slight hassle but very much worth it. Thanks guys!

Bought a modem. After 3 tries with my internet provider I finally got it to work. Thought at first it was wrong modem I received, but it was inept customer service from optimum. Finally works.

Great Modem
April 20, 2020

Switched to FIOS & ordered this modem instead of renting from Frontier. On installation, Technician said "no problem." He hooked it up & has worked flawlessly. Will pay for itself in a year, so 2nd year of Frontier contract is free modem. Recommend buying instead of renting.

What can I say, I bought this cable modem on special for about $27 dollars. It works exactly as described both wired and wirelessly on my Verizon FIOS. I save a ton of money in rental fees every month from now on. It is a no brainer.

During this quarantine, having a good router is like having everything in your home. Its almost 1 month that I am using Netgear N750, which is reliable, fast and the most important thing is its 802.11n Dual BandPremium Edition which gives you an amazing experience of wireless network from every corner of your home.
