c3700 connection issue
Well I tried Netgear Support and they were zero help.... I have the C3700 - 100NAS Everything worked fine for a couple of months but now nothing except my 2 computers connect and works like normal ...
Not a happy customer...
You all are correct. Netgear support is useless. I've had nothing but problems with the C3700. I have the same problem as many of you. My problem seems to be with 5G on the C3700. But there appears to be no way to turn off 5G signal even though manual shows screenshot where you should be able to turn it off. My screen looks the same but without the option to turn off 5G. I've rebooted this modem more times in the few months I've had it than I ever did with my other netgear modems in the last 10 years. Lately, Comcast even told me that the problem looked to be the modem.
Second problem...The updates page had a VPN hotfix. Ran the hotfix and got an error. Phone support wouldn't support it because I'm just past the 90-days of the free useless support. I've also seen something on the Netgear site where the C3700 doesn't supposedly support the hotfix, so why is it on the update page for the C3700?
I can now understand why this modem got only a 1-star rating and didn't even make the list for the best known modem manufacturers. Netgear used to have great products...what happened?
Now heading to buy a better brand rated modem for less than what I paid for (what I thought was) a quality Netgear product but actually works better as a paperweight.
