    Purchased in order to avoid paying the cable company a rental fee on their product which was the same as this model. Have had no issues with connectivity since day one and continues to pay for itself.

    I replaced my Xfinity modem with this model, and now with 2 months of use, I've saved $28 on my bill and this hasn't had any of the issues that the other modem had. Wish I would have bought it sooner!

    This unit provides a very good alternative to the Xfinity modem/router and it costs much less on a singe year subscription.

    It does what it is intended to do. Set up instructions are a bit difficult. It's not plug and play. Took me a while to get into the wifi and set up the modem router combo.

    Although I was forced to upgrade my modem, I am very happy I did. My overall bandwidth increased exponentially once I installed this unit. Was not too difficult to install and has been very reliable.

    This product serves as a relief for me and my household as we can now own this modem instead of renting from COMCAST. Only Best Buy features this special product. I am very much delighted to always buy from Best Buy all my electronic needs.

    This router exceeded my expectations! My main router is upstairs and we installed this second router to add a stronger WiFi signal downs stairs plus to hard wire and office down stairs. It works great!

    I am 86yrs. and not familiar with the components necessary to allow family to network with the Lenovo computer in my home. I asked my, son to help me to upgrade and he accompanied me to Best Buy. He spoke to your sales rep. and we purchased Arris - Surfboard Wireless.

    It worked great when I first bought it. I routinely got the 300 Mbps I pay for. Now I'm suddenly getting on 10 Mbps. Comcast can't find any service problem. Not sure if it's the modem or my PC...

    I am very pleased with this. The only issue I had was that my cable company that also includes my phone doesn't accept it for the phone portion. They do for the internet and cable though and that was the main thing I wanted it for.

    Not sure this was the right one. But all you had at the Woodland store. I was told that it would do both my phone and the computer. But the Wave tech said no! Only the computer. Did not have time to look for anything else.
