We recently let got rid of ATT DSL (finally; pinging at 3megs), and got Xfinity - wildly fast, pining speeds of 200+ megs, the 5g connectivity is incredibly reliable and FAST!

This is the first time I bought a modem, and I am not disappointed. It works quickly without problem. I use my Roku TV, laptop, i-Pad, and i-Phone using its Wifi.

Set-up is fairly easy. Just plug and play (of course you'll have to get the product registered with the service provider). I live in a 2BR apartment with one bedroom at the end of a narrow passage and hence the signal strength is a bit weak in that room. Else this device performs decently for the cost at which it's sold in the market.
BestBuy staff was helpful enough to match the price in the store against the online price.

As I said above, the device is working great. If I had a complaint it would be it gets too warm and the lights are too bright, but this is just the real world.

The modem works well but the range of the router is limited. Signal strength is sketchy beyond 20 feet. I would recommend one with better range.

I like my modem because it is small and has a good wireless range. It is nicely designed and looks nice on my shelf. Plus it's clear what the password and network names are.

So I had been paying for Comcast xfinity 250gb download speeds and it would always have issues with wifi. I spoke to Best Buy and was informed that Comcast gateways/routers can't handle the speed I was paying for. Why they would sell me something and charge me for what I can't use is beyond me. I bought this unit and my issues were gone. It's great!
