    The phone part does NOT work on Optimum - they do not support this - even though Optimum recommends other ARRIS modems. Otherwise - for internet - it works well.

    A Nightmare with Arris modem

    I tried to replace Xfinity modem with Arris modem. Xfinity recommended this to be the best replacement. It was a nightmare for one week with many struggles. Had to finally call an Xfinity Tech who declared that it is a bad modem and can't be activated. I returned it and swore that I will never do this again!

    Bought this to replace my parents rented modem from Comcast. This is literally the same modem, you’re just buying it outright instead of renting. It worked fine but did not improve speed or functionality. Works ok.
