A:AnswerSadly I returned the Surfboard which I believe was a different model. A Comcast agent had recommended the Arris as an alternative to renting a modem-router from them. The box that it came in also said Xfinity compatible. However six phone calls, three each to Xfinity and Arris I could not get the Arris to work correctly so I decided half-hardheartedly to reinstall the Xfinity rental. Frustrating experience and the tech support at Arris varied from mediocre to excellent (I would call between 8-5). For the record, Xfinity's support was about the same.
A:AnswerI had to install McAfee Security on my PC as such, the security software then monitors all activity whether its incoming internet activity or system file protection.
A:Answeryou would have to call your technical department to ask this question: "DOES YOUR/MY SERVICE SUPPORT DOCSIS 3.0?" if the answer is yes, this cable modem and wifi router should work for you.
A:AnswerNot sure about those providers. Probably best to check with them and/or their Web sites to determine which modems are authorized on their systems. My local provider had a list of various modems which they approved.
