    Didn't work for us because my son did gaming and the more expensive Arris seemed to work a lot better with his Xbox so switched it out for that one but worked great for my work stuff and tv. Great price for that!

    We needed an additional WiFi spot for one of our departments and this device was recommended at BestBuy by one of the friendly and very knowledgeable sales associates and it worked perfectly and as easily as he described, from the moment we plugged it in. It was easy to configure and does the job perfectly. The primary function is to allow for dual factor authentication in a specific office department and it does the job very well.

    Bought this to replace an older Netgear. Signal from the previous router dropped off at the back of the house. With this, the signal is clear and strong throughout the house. Set up was easy. Be sure to call your cable support line so they can add the router to your account.

    We have had this gateway for about 3 weeks and it has worked well for us so far. Set up was easy and took less than 5 minutes.we originally got it for 200mbps but a few days ago we got a free upgrade to 300mbps and the gateway has had no issues handling it. If you just need a basic one, this is a great value.

    Not only was it very easy to set up and worked seamlessly, I was able to get this via overnight delivery when my modem essentially went bust one day. Had I not gotten this overnight on Saturday for a Sunday delivery, I may not have been able to work (from home) on Monday. Best Buy's competitors don't seem to think that internet is essential. Luckily Best Buy understands customer needs!

    Employee review here... The combo modem is very easy to setup with xfinity service and is great for the 400mbps plan. I have a very small 650sqft apartment and the wifi reaches great everywhere. The arris app makes it easy to manage wifi name and password.

    Using since last 8 months without any issue

    Pros: I purchased this to connect to XFINITY via coaxial cable and then used it for 8 months. My plan was 25 Mbps and I used to get full internet speed during this period. I and my roommate together could connect up to 6 laptops and 4 mobile phones at a time to this router without any significant loss in internet speed on each individual devices. Cons: 1) I recently shifted to another apartment where AT&T provides internet using ONT port. Since , this router doesn’t have ONT port, this router is of no use to me today. 2) This router doesn’t have provision to change its MAC address. Hence if a hacker gets to know the MAC address, he can exploit this weakness in the router and launch cyber attacks or MAC Spoofing easily.

    Best Buy is offering me points for completing a review, but this does not affect my rating of this product. I had to replace my previous modem because of an electrical storm knocking out that modem. So I had to replace my modem quickly. I bought this and after setting it up and getting it running, I have not had any issues that would upset me. It works perfectly well so far. A modem is not something I want to spend time with - once I get it up and running - I don't want to think about it - it should be like electricity - it just should work all the time. So far, that is what I have experienced except for one day when I had to turn it on and off. Not unusual as I have had other modems and had to do the same thing every once in a while. If something really goes wrong - I will try to post an update in the comments to this review. But so far - I am very happy with this purchase.

    I like this modem because is easy to install and use. It does the job for the wifi. We all can use wifi and my son can be playing without disconnection or any waiting for his game to load. The only bad thing is the average range, it has poor signal in the backyard. In summer I can't use wifi as much as I wanted to. It takes time for youtube to play music.

    Great bang for your buck, works great. I can play online games while having my phone connected and my wife on her laptop. No lag in video streaming. Good because its modem and router in 1 so it saves space if you don't have many places to put it. Its on the top floor in the corner of my 2 story house, gets whole house even basement network coverage

    Works AMAZING and was super easy to set up. We got this as a replacement for our other router that was slowly breaking, and the immense improvement made working online so much easier. Haven't had a single problem in the last month or so that I've had this!

    This is my third Arris product I've purchased over the years. I owned the Arris Modem and the only reason I had to replace it was due to outdated technology, that's how long I had it. I love this combo product because now I only have one product with duel functionality. It's sleek, easy to set up, and came at an affordable price.
