Q: Can I use the ARRIS SURFboard G34 with Xfinity internet service?

A: Yes, the G34 is compatible with major U.S. Cable Internet Providers, including Xfinity.

Q: DO NOT BUY THIS. Arris has reported that customers who use Xfinity are experiencing constant interruptions including myself. Their website says they are aware of the problem. It's been almost a year and the issue still persists.

A: By default the lease time is 1 day. Each day, you will see a small hiccup while your internal IP# is dropped and reassigned. All modems have a lease time. Set it to a high value. Some modems, like this G34/G36 have a "forever" setting to which is will never renew the lease. I can not speak for Infinity but I've had no issues with this modem. I suspect you might be confusing Infinity "constant interruptions" for the default 1 hour default lease time which would result in a small hiccup every hour. Just change it to a higher/forever value!

    Arris SURFboard Modem & Wi-Fi Router

    I bought the Arris SURFboard Modem to replace the Xfinity modem I had been renting from them at an extravagant cost per month. It's been one of the best purchases I've made, because it has paid for itself and saves me money every month...and it works perfectly! Thanks Arris--and thanks BestBuy for this, well, best buy!

    Arris - SURFboard is worth it!

    I've had this Arris for almost a year now and so far, it's been holding up well. The reliability is great. With multiple devices connected, we've had no problems. Setup was easy (no issues with the Arris, provider needed to do their part) but overall, it was a worthwhile buy.
