ARRIS - SURFboard 16 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - White

Great modem at a great price! Important note. I was talking to tech guy at Arris as I am super OCD and I called because I read the user guide and it stated that the top and bottom left lights are green but in real life I was looking right at them and they look white! He explained to me that the two middle blue LEDs were so close and bright the when viewed from the from they appear to make the green LEDs look white and everything was working as it should. That is why I have included two pictures so you know what it really looks like. Also I have tech background and could not get it to work at first but confirmed with Arris and sperate IT GUY that the reason it may not auto set up is because Xfinity Comcast setup is absolutely garbage. You MUST dial in and get a tech support person and give them the Mac ID. Then after the phone call about 10 minutes later everything was working and no issues since.

The Motorola Surfboard SB6183 cable modem, while being a tad higher than I wanted to pay, still pays for itself in the end. It not only will save you those pesky modem lease fees the cable companies charge, but this purchase will also future proof your broadband connectivity in that one shouldn't need to upgrade their cable modem for a year or two. You will definitely notice a speed difference increase with this modem, especially if you're currently using an older modem that has 4 or 8 bonded download channels. The SB6183 has 16 bonded downloaded channels at its disposal. This means if you're subscribing to the say the Time Warner 300/20 service and you're seeing speeds at half that with the older modems, purchasing this modem will correct that and get you in the fast lane. This product is definitely recommended, even if you're not subscribing to top tier broadband because eventually the cable companies will force you into a newer model of cable modem, so why not take advantage of the future today and purchase the SB6183? You'll be glad you did.

I am a senior citizen, so in the last 30 Years I have bought many different brands of modems. By far this model has been great. I have never had to unplug this model to reboot. My last modem had to be rebooted at least 3 times a month. I give this ARRIS model 5 stars!

Setting it up was easy. Just a call to Comcast and voila. Its performance is very good. It does not heat up. I think it was a good decision. The only con was the delay in arriving... it took near a long week; even existing in nearby stores.

I just replaced the old Comcast modem and let me tell you not only that it's a good looking but the performance is well beyond my expectations. I am a happy guy so far.

Easy to install and works good for my xfinity internet.

I got this after battles with time warner cables box kept going out . I subscribe to 50 Mbps and was only getting around 35 at best . With this and a new wifi router I'm getting 58 Mbps threw my wifi I hated spending the money but it was well worth every penny . Must have

The modem/router is excellent quality, well built, pleasing presentation, simple to operate. However, be aware that most cable operators will not allow a personal router to hook up to their signal - their business is charging for every access point in a house, and for that a modem such as this is required. Therefore, the cable operator denies typically denies access for configuring the router, as it takes away from their opportunity to charge you a second access point. Before purchasing make sure that you get written confirmation from your cable operator that they will allow configuration of modem on their signal!!
