    Terrible Web Interface / DHCP limited options

    My issues were technical functionality. I had to return this for the NetGear equivalent at Best Buy. The web interface on the Arris was too limiting, primarily the DHCP server. I would have been fine to keep the Arris if it just had an option to turn off DHCP. The only way per Arris and Xfinity tech support, was to turn the Arris into a bridge. The NetGear though more costly, gave me the options I required.

    Bought and hooked up after hours of trouble with Comcast. 2 months, 6 calls to Comcast and a service call later, they tell me it’s a hardware problem with the unit from the factory. Now it’s too late to return. Comcast Tech recommends Netgear over Arris.

    Keeps loosing connection. I have Xfinity. They said it's not them it's the modem. Very frustrating. When you purchase this I believe you have 15 days to return. They have you by the balls by the time you realize it's your modem your over the 15 days. ......

    Spent 2 hours on the phone with comcast, never could get this modem/router set up with wifi or ethernet cable. Reinstalled old modem/router and it works, thus this unit is going back. Buying something else.
