Great modem at a reasonable price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'd been renting a modem from my internet provider and a friend told me about the reliability of this modem. When I went to Best Buy the sales associate was very helpful and ensured that it was compatible with my internet service provider, Cox before my purchase. Because of the reasonable price I will break even and be saving money by having my own modem after a few months.

Save Money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as advertised and saves the $10 monthly. Speed has been great, wish I could turn off the lights though.

Fast internet

Great speed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not sure what the actual max speed capacity is (the product description on this page says 343.1 Mbps, but Time Warner says it's only 100 and i have to upgrade to the next level of Arris modem for 300+. In any case, this gets me upwards of 115-120 Mbps (even on a 100 Mbps plan from Time Warner), so it suits me just fine. An easy choice to buy this and ditch the rental from the cable company. This was recommended to me by thewirecutter.com, so go there for more details.

Easy to install. Works great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Straightforward to replace my leased cable modem from Time Warner Cable. Plug the power in. Plug the coax cable in. Plug in the ethernet cable to my existing router. Power it on. Call TWC to give them the listed MAC address of this new cable modem as listed on the label. A few minutes later... everything is working as it should. Been using it for a month. Speed is great and as expected. In the long run, this will end up cheaper than paying $6/month to lease a cable modem from Time Warner Cable.

Good modem that works with my provider
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to replace the first one as I couldn't get it to work. But the second one worked with no problems. One complaint, the lights are VERY bright, so you don't want this in your bedroom!

Great item
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the modem to keep from paying Time Warner Cable monthly rental. The switch was easy and the Time Warner Cable customer representative made it easy to switch from their modem to my new modem.

Easiest Way To Reduce Your Internet Bill
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this product in an effort to reduce my internet bill. The ISP charges monthly to use their equipment, and in less than a year this product will be paying for itself. This modem works with most major cable ISPs. I purchased the product when scheduling my install, and the technician installed it for me when they came to hook up service (required by the ISP). Configuring my wireless routers (already owned) to work with this product was exceptionally simple. All in all, I couldn't be more pleased.

Most Reliable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This cable modem is by far the most reliable cable modems. If your service provider allows you to have your own cable modem that supports DOCSIS 3.0, this is a must buy. There is no substitute for this product.

Great Modem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only complaint is not with this modem specifically, but generally, you can't buy a modem with a phone jack, so if you get your phone through the cable company, you end up having to use both modems anyways.

Nice unit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this modem to replace my cable provider's modem. I never noticed a monthly rental fee on my modem till I had been informed of a price increase, shame on me.This unit is recommened by my cable provider and is a snap to hook up. Called my provider to register unit and have had smooth surfin since! All took about 30 minutes-most was the phone call. Download and upload speeds are a little bit quicker with this unit. Also supports IPv6, Advanced Encryption Services if my provider makes a change.

Little modem, big performance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little modem does exactly what it's needs to do. I had it out of the box and set up in less than 5 minutes. The indicator lights are an attractive blue color, accented nicely by the white enclosure. My only complaint is that since it is small and lightweight I cannot stand it up because the coaxial cable pulls it down, and so I have to lay it flat. Also I had to get a price match since I found it cheaper on Amazon. I have had this modem running for about a month and not had to reset it or had any connectivity issues.

upgrade to docsis 3.0
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.it was easy to installed, the speeds increase from the old modem i used from comcast, i feel that i could get greater speeds if the router could accept the higher speeds its outputting.

Truly a "Set it and Forget it" item
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Motorola unit and both are still working 25x7, this unit however brings even higher speeds to your surfing experience, if you are thinking about using the very fastest cable has to offer then this is the unit to use as it supports enough channels to maximize your connection. And has the headline say's connect it, power it up, call the cable company to add the ID and enjoy. My older unit has been running for over 5 years now non stop and I expect the same from this unit.
