This is a solid cable modem stricktly for Xfinity customers. There are a lot of great things I can say about this modem. Its fast, easily to set up, light in weight, and will save you $180 a year renting Xfinity’s modem. I get almost 950 mbps download speeds with this bad boy and almost 500 mbps on Wifi. Contrary to belief, the Wifi signal is strong on this modem. Buy it, you’ll never pay another dime to rent Xfinity’s modem again!

The setup was easy. I didn’t have to call Xfinity. I could enter the MAC address information online. The app is okay. The speed is good…. Not quite the 1GB speed, but pretty close

I have been a fan of owning my own modem since I learned it was possible 20+ years ago. I saw no reason to pay Comcast for equipment (if I could only figure out how to get my own extra TV boxes, I'd get set!). My previous modem (Arris TG1682) worked fine but since I was getting emails from Xfinity telling me that I was not using my full download speed, I decided to finally upgrade. I had great luck with Motorola modems previous to my Arris modem so after a little research, I took the dive back to Motorola. Setup was easy. The important thing is to go to Xfinity.com/activate first unless you have another source of WiFi to connect your computer. You can use your phone but it is a little bit of a pain. You need you CM MAC number. Once you enter that via the Xfinity website, it is simple. The system then will look for your modem (thus you need to plug it in and power it on). Once the system finds it (took less than 5 minutes for me), it is activated. I had to call Xfinity for the phone and to have the old modem removed from the account. This took all of 5 minutes once connected to a real person (wait time was 10 minutes). There was no need to reset the modem as per the phone instructions since the internet was working. You need to talk to a real person and give them the CM MAC number. As for the MotoSync app, it is fine. I can tell you who is connected to your system. I use an external router for the home so that network is connected via Ethernet cables to a hub that splits to feed a TV, my work laptop and my work Vonage. All in all, very simple and noticeably faster than before. No complaints. Then again, it has been setup for only 1 hours!

Needed a new modem/router and this works perfectly with our Gig+ plan with Xfinity. Had to call tech support to add it to the account, but it works fine. I’m consistently seeing incredible speeds on the 2.5Gb port, so I’m happy with that. We do not have the digital phone service but it’s nice to have the option with the built in landline phone ports if we needed it.

Compared to the Grey Xfinity modem: 1) It's slightly larger 2) Setup is just as easy / no more difficult than grey modem 3) Airflow seems a lot better with large vents on both sides 4) It's PSU is an external wall wart, not an internal one like the Grey modem :-( 5) Has many more lights on the front, cluing you into what it's doing! 6) Its web interface feels a bit more "sharp" and "technical", as is the Motorola design aesthetic 7) The iPhone app is functional, but not amazing. It has a neat graph feature to see what devices are using the most bandwidth 8) Most of all, makes you feel great saving $15 a month!
