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 would not recommend this product. We had trouble accessing phone and IPAD apps if not in direct line to modem/router. Called Arris twice and the tech put me on a different channel and nothing worked.

    I followed all of the instructions for setup word for word. The signal strength is terrible. It's worse than the 10 year old equipment I was using before.
