Worked fine with Charter service but didn't last
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The modem worked fine with the Charter service and was easy to set up but after 3 1/2 months it just stopped working. Tried resetting it but that didn't work.. Charter technician checked it out and the modem had crapped out. It wasn't an expensive modem but that is a ridiculously short life. Waste of $50.

Average. Works well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced my old modem with this modem. Both were the same model/brand. There is apparently a shelf life. The price is right.

Good but not fast enough
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works good, but its not fast enough for multiple devices at once. My devices take a while to load and vise versa.

This unit does not include a router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit has a cable modem, but no router. If you need a router, you must by the unit that has a router built in.

Works fine but has only one Ethernet port
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed 2 ports. By the time I realized that I had connected the modem so couldn't return it for the next model up.

slowed down internet speed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the worst modem I've ever had. I purchased it to take advantage of increased internet speed. However, after connecting it and troubleshooting with my provider the max I could achieve was 60Mbps. I exchanged it for an actual Motorola model which is definitely much better. Definitely wouldn't recommend the Arris.

Basic alarm clock

Entry Level Router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It saves the money we pay for the network providers, it would be better to buy a wifi one if it is in your budget

Speed Fluctuations
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This modem is solid when the firmware doesn't automatically update. Every couple of days the firmware is automatically updated and the speed plummets to 1-2mbps. Unplug, plug in, new firmware loads and your back to running full speed. If I could return this modem I would, but I've had it for 3 months now. Installed old modem - Motorola sb 6120, hasn't slowed down yet.

Internet keeps cutting out
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product says it was easy to installed. Like plug and play. Plugged everything in per instructions. follow the instruction to activate. Did not work, end up having to spend an hour calling comcast to get product activated. So not as easy as advertised. Also, after the installation, internet keeps cutting out hourly. Had to reset 3 times to finish watching a movie.
