    I found out I didn't need it. Also the modem took a long time to connect to the network.

    Used as a backup to a Netgear C7100-V when it cause a problem on a Comcast ISP. Essentially, the same unit, but the Netgear seems to be more "robust" However, the ARRIS has a lower price. YMMV

    It was the best option for Xfinity with triple play. Not a large selection for modem, router and voice. I would recommend this to a friend

    Not for AT&T, or perhaps I don’t know what I’m doing. I was trying to supplement my mom’s AT&T provided DSL gateway (12mbps - AT&T plan for elderly), as it gives very little of anything. It wouldn’t allow me on the app, and could never get any device on the internet through it.

    Arris will not support Optimum Customers

    I purchased this router after speaking with Optimum tech support. The modem worked well for 2-3 days, and began restarting itself, multiple times per day, so I contacted Arris support, and they recommended I send the modem back because it doesn't support Optimum. Much happier with stability of Netgear!!!!

    I would not recommend the Arris modem/router, unless you have a very small place. It just did not pack near enough power to cover my large house, even though it was recommended by a salesperson. Fortunately, Best Buy allowed me to return it for store credit beyond the 15-day limit. Thank you!!
