No it's not cheap but it will pay for itself in about two years and even if you don't stick with XFINITY/Comcast that long it still feels good not to be paying them for required equipment. It appears to be identical to the model they had me renting when I first changed to my current plan. I get over 200MBs downloads.

Unless your going to fork over the big $$$$ for their top speed tier this Modem/Router combo will save you money vs renting. Even though this is pretty much the same modem Comcast used to use (XB3) our speeds have improved slightly and we no longer lose connection to our wireless printer.

The modem/router combo works great. Getting less and less dependent on Comcast. This means lower bills! Don’t let Comcast tell you there is a problem with the unit! When I set it up and called them, I was told it wasn’t working. They didn’t put the product info in the system correctly. I suggest having them read back the number sequence to make sure it is correct.

This combo router and modem has amazing range. We were told we would need a mesh network or a network extender to reach every corner of the property but that is not the case. There are no dead spots because of the technology integrated in this product.

I'm no expert! I have cable, and as expensive as it is I don't like the idea of paying to rent a router! Needless to say, this is the one that I needed, and I needed it quickly. Best Buy had it available at a really good price, so I ran and picked it up. So far, so good!!

After years of paying a monthly fee to Comcast, purchased my own after the rental broke. Easy to set-up, just a bit different. Did not reaalize there was a control panel available online. After calling Arris support (very helpful First time call, unlike comcast) WiFi was up and running less than 5 minutes.

Bought this several years ago when I moved into my apartment and still going strong. Heck when the cable guy came to activate my internet even he was impressed that I owned this bad boy. Even bought it a second time for my grandmother's house when we finally got her internet.

If you don't want to rent a modem from your internet\cable provider and if you're old school with a home phone then this is a good deal. I had sticker shock at first but if it lasts more than 2 years it's cheaper than renting a modem from Comcast.

It’s easy to install/setup, and so far it’s working flawlessly. It connected automatically (via Ethernet cord) to my Apple Time Capsule. Didn’t have to reset anything.
The WiFi reaches everywhere in my house and yard.
It was recommended by the store associate over other brands; good advice I think.

This cable modem/router works great. The set-up was fast and easy. Just follow the instructions and you are up and running in no time. I had an Arris modem previously that lasted for quite some time so decided to get another one and hope it last as long or longer.

I'm a Comcast customer and this product is certified for Comcast. Very easy setup. Able to transfer my old modem setup to the new modem, which enabled me to continue Bluetooth setup for my TVs, cell phones and printers.

ARRIS SURFboard AC1750 Cable Modem

Excellent all-in-one cable modem with wifi and voice. I unplugged the old cable modem, plugged everything on the Arris Surfboard AC1750 and after 20 minutes, my Internet and phone are up and operational. It was great that I didn't have to call Xfinity for activation. Having four ethernet ports available is a plus for me and I've already used two for my personal PC and work Surface. I like the white cheerful color on this modem and the led indicator lights give my office enough ambiance even when I don't have the lights on. So far, I'm happy and I feel like I made a great choice with this cable modem.

It seems to be working fine, it was a little to expensive for me, but it was compatible with my needs, I couldn't find another one. It's size is big & I barely have room for it on my table. Thanks

The ARRIS - Surfboard was an easy set up and I like it much better than the Net Gear I replaced
