The device is simple to setup and use. Of course, one still has to deal with their cable company to get the modem to work. :-)

Good Modem...Curious Cable Provider

The SBG6900-AC performance wise gives fast downloads, great wireless signal coverage. The main issue encountered was that my cable provider uses the same type of modems and somehow their system would send reset commands to reset the modem/router to the default settings so they could manage the wireless...which I am very capable of doing myself. Ended up switching to the Arris SB6190 (similar performance) and using an external router. Overall: it's a good modem and excellent down/upload speeds.

I bought this in hopes to get rid of the rental fees from the cable company. It's working good so far. I use wifi through walls down in the basement across the house from this thing and stream sling tv no problem. I'd give it 5* but trying to set up an account online now has me all messed up. The default user name and password no longer works. And the new one I set up doesn't either. So I can't change the Wi-Fi password like I wanted. But other than that pretty good

Works great, easy to use and works with TWC. Much happier I purchased this than renting one and paying a monthly fee.

Tried another brand that was defective and a Best Buy associate recommended ARRIS. It's easy to set up and works great after a month of use.

Great alternative to Comcast

After getting tired of paying Comcast rent for their router and doing some research online, this router combo was chosen to replace the Cpmcast rental unit. It provides all the features but the VOIP telephone port. Its WiFi is better since it has AC compared to N with the Comcast unit. It is easily customized and configured. The only negative is that when the firewall is set to medium it really slows down the connection speed. Overall, its a very good modem/router combo.
