    A excellent choice for a cable modem

    The S34 is the newer version of the already excellent S33 which is on top of most best modems lists. This was only $20.00 more than the S33 so that is the reason I bought this one. Could not be happier. Set up was incredibly simple. The enclosed quick set up guide tells you to download the Surfboard Central app to complete the set up. You do not need to do this. The app just directs you to the Xfinity website to add the modem. I used the Xfinity app and within 10 minutes I was on the internet. I was actually amazed because I had to change modems in the past and it was a nightmare to do. The immediate difference I noticed was my upload speed with my old router increased from 40 Mbps to 350 Mbps and my download went to 850 Mbps consistently. I have now upgraded my network to the TP-Link B65 - BE1100 WIFI 7 mesh router and while my upload speeds stayed the same my downloads are now over 1G. I also read may reviews that this modem runs hot. I found that this was not the case. It does get warm but if you leave it a well ventilated space you should not see any issues. If your looking to future proof you home network you should really get this one. Your probably not going to need a new one for may years.

    Stays connected

    I have Xfinity and our 3 year old modem was restarting to die so i purchased this for replacement. It works well. I used the Xfinity app to get connected and took about 5 minutes although you can use the surfboard connect app to do the same or press skip at the bottom. To be honest I don't think you need the surfboard connect app and it isn't very useful for this S34 modem as i plug into my Asus wifi router for everything else. After Xfinity said I was connected it rebooted the modem which took 10 minutes then I was able to use my wifi so don't panic. From opening the box to wifi was 30 minutes. I get 600mb on two devices at the same time and our area has max upload of 40mb which I am getting. It works great!

    Honestly, I'm a little disappointed

    I bought the S34 modem believing my router (capable of 350Mbps) would still allow me to reach into the 150 Mbps range. My outdated old modem only gave me 28 Mbps and the S34 bumped it up to 38 Mbps. I'm either missing something or Xfinity has me throttled. I'll update this review if I figure out a speed increase.
