    After almost six months of use, it started losing connection easily. I thought it was the Xfinity issue but turns out to be it was not. I have never had any problems like this with other modems. It's very disappointing.

    Spent hours trying to get it to connect to internet with no success. Taking it back and exchanging for something better.

    I was never able to get any IPv4 sites. I had repeated calls with my internet carrier and the product manufacturer (I had them both on the line at the same time). Ultimately I had to return it and bought a different model.

    This modem/router combo is specifically designed to work with Comcast Infinity. It should have worked with Antietam Broadband but it did not. The VOIP connection is apparently the problem.

    This Arris modem/router has the defective intel puma chip. The tech rep from Xfinity said not to use it as a phone modem I returned it.

    I bought this in hopes to have internet back up and running, sadly nope. Had to purchase another. Check your cable companies comparability before every buying a cable modem.

    So far, perfect!

    Bought this on sale after seeing the $13 rental fee. Hooked it up and activated it on line in less then 15 minutes. I have gig speed internet, speeds(pictured, wireless speeds are always half of hardwired) and performance are identical to Comcast's modem. Telephone works perfectly. All my settings and devices transferred flawlessly so I didn't have to reconnect anything. Took the rental back and brought the numbers from the Arris so they can add to my account. As for longevity, I'll have to update you that part.
