    It has a smaller footprint than previous cable modem but unfortunately I had to return it. My cable company couldn't activate it.

    Horrible. After 9 months of use, it kept on dropping in and off the service even when there was no outage in my area and after directly plugged an ethernet cable into it. Would not recommend especially if you work from home.

    Review was before this was not easy to use not easy to install and basically was not worth the price we paid. I would not recommend this to anyone else for purchasing if they thought it was going to be an easy install which we were told at the time of purchase
