If you have or are getting Comcast and don’t want to lease their equipment this is what you want. It’s the combo modem/router so you don’t need to buy two items. This provides Wi-Fi. I’m happy with it. Bigger than I thought it would be but that isn’t an issue.

Bought the modem /router to get the most out of my Comcast internet speed package. Easy to set up after cleared some problems with Comcast. Put modem in to Bridge Mode since I had a top end Linksys router already and got full speed and power. Great to save on the Comcast rental fee.

Highly recommended product. I haven't had internet problems since switching to this product. Accommodates all the devices for our household and is way better than the service offered rental modem/router. Easy setup. Bonus that it includes the voice option unlike most replacement router/modem combos.

Works fine in my 1,200 sq/ft condo. Just remember if you’re replacing your cable companies rental unit, make sure that it’s a modem/router combo and it’s capable of the mb/sec that your internet company supplies you with. I have no problem getting 400mb/sec with this unit.

I like this cable modem. Installation was easy although a little time consuming. My only complaints are the boot up time is very long when you lose power or unplug it, and I couldn't find a model number for the battery compartment so I could purchase one if I wanted to. It was fast, and installation was problem free.

I needed to replace a Comcast modem with phone jack. This replaces Comcast cable, phone and internet equipment perfectly. Easy hookup and better stronger signal than what I was getting with Comcast. Router built in so no need to buy an additional router.

We bought this a while ago now and it has never once given us a problem. It has always been as good as if not better than we were told. We have had this now going on three years and I’m going to be upgrading this one however this one will be our backup in the garage for the guys to play there games!!

Replacement Modem Router

It took some time and telephone discussions with my internet provider to sync my modem/router with their system. It is now working well and hasn’t given me any issues. Next month I will connect to my home’s phone system and transfer away from ATT and onto my internet phone system.
The unit is significantly larger than my previous unit. It is taller, generates more heat, has more cooling perforations in the case and as such generates light. If you are sensitive, you may need to locate the unit where this is not an issue.

Pretty easy to setup. Speeds seem to match out Xfinity router I was replaced. It stopped working about a week after I installed it, just had to reboot it, hopefully this is just a one time event and not a weekly thing.

This cable modem is compatible with Comcast. I now save $10 a month on my cable bill.
There was some difficulty setting it up with Comcast, but I think it was more of a problem with Comcast than the modem. Since setting it up, it has been working beautifully.

The ARRIS SURFboard AC-1750 is modem and router in one. It also has the telephone option. A great product if you don't want to pay the Xfinity voice modem rental fees. I used to have internet interruptions a lot. With the SURFboard I don't have them at all.

This wireless router/modem is compatible with our Comcast/Xfinity system, which was our number one criteria. It is also powerful enough and fast enough, and by following the online manual, it was possible to navigate the installation.

Good product so far, beats paying modem fees from Comcast! Startup time after power disconnect is longer than my other modems I've had. Haven't bought the battery backup yet "should only need for phone use incase the zombie apocalypse". Easy setup, unit is large, utilized your Decor skills.

This router is unbelievable! We have several devices in our home.
Download speed went from 35mbps to almost 200mbps. Setup was very easy. I can't say enough good things about this router.
