Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the ease of use, strong performance, and compact size of the SURFboard AC1600 Dual-Band Router with DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem. Many appreciate its good price and reliable WiFi, while also noting strong signal strength and good coverage. However, some users experienced intermittent connection issues. A few also mentioned that the device runs warm and has a limited number of Ethernet ports.

    router / cable modem does not have phone jack

    I had to return the router / cable modem, but NOT because of a quality issue. I needed a modem that had a phone jack, i.e. RJ45, for a VOIP phone. I subsequently found out that none of the router / cable modems have phone jacks. This was my mistake and did not reflect on the quality of the product.

    Worked right off the bat. I can't say much for speed as we are only using it for 25 MB/S service. Works well with Comcast though.

    I am using in single family home. Connection gets interrupted a lot and my bedroom distance is not far from location of router. Problem is not noticeable when watching a video, where you can buffer in advance but browsing a web gives you headache. Once i tried to connect to VPN and experience was horrible.

    Arris provides excellent support. Modem works great! If you need to open more ports for vpn or fiber optic settings it well suited for the job.

    Horrible Modem/Router

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is the worst modem/router I have ever used. 5G signal goes no further than 15 feet and 2.4G signal goes not further than 5 feet. I called Arris multiple times and they kept recommending me to move the device, which I did. Finally got the Modem/Router from Spectrum which works amazing.

    The unitized modem/router concept saves space and the unit is functioning well, but not much faster than my earlier Surfboard 6141/Linksys router combination. The utility to install is touchy & difficult to navigate. It took some Geek Squad 'magic' to reset passwords in order to achieve access to it.
