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.

    I've tried on Mediacom, city utilties, 3 different houses and this impossible piece of excuse of a router wireless access point is worthless. Please just rent from the service provider and get a good wireless access point/router. You can find mine at the goodwill. Good Bye Sorrows... I mean Surfboard!

    Was a problem from day one until returned 2 weeks later. Constantly dropped wifi connection several times a day and other issues. Would have returned sooner but my schedule didn't permit. Replaced with Netgear Nighthawk AC1900. First time ever my wifi speed matched my ethernet speed on Ookla. Guess you know my recommendation.

    This modem/router worked great, for the first week or so. After that WiFi went from 70MBs to 5!! I returned it and bought a different brand and I am getting 100MBs over WiFi and almost 200MBs on my desktop. Deeply disappointed in Motorola. Oh I bought a Netgear. I've never liked them but I'm super happy with what I have now.

    I have multiple PS3 systems in the house and just recently hooked up with Suddenlink. This router would not allow me to game together, or allow more than one PS3 online with same game. Talked to PlayStation as well as Arris Help line with no one being able to help. So I bought a Netgear and everything works as should.

    sales guy sold me something he obviously knew nothing about. I specifically asked for a modem that would work with fios. He said he has this surfboard and he has fios. Come to find out there are NO fiber optic modems. Just the one that you get from Verizon. A lot of wasted time and now I have to return it.
