    Netgear WiFi so much better, unfortunately quality wasn't there. This was my only option left at BB. Soon to be returned.

    Lasted about 7 months then started dropping the connection. It would have been much cheaper to just lease one from cable

    Three Hours of My Life Lost

    Tried to upgrade to this router yesterday. Based upon the reviews, I had expected superior performance. Upon connecting the new device, imagine my surprise when it performed at only 10% of the speed of my obsolete device. Tech from my ISP tried a router from another Mfg that he had on his truck from another manufacturer which performed full speed as expected. This device is being returned to Best Buy. Tech support from Arris was wholly unhelpful and very disappointing.

    ARRIS tech support wanting, one star too many

    Had Time Warner tech check lines for faults. Admittedly there were some. He resolved them and them tried to get modem on line. He immediately suspected a modem problem and contacted Arris tech support. After talking to two Arris techs for 30 minutes, Arris too decided modem was defective and told me to return it. Arris tech should have been able to diagnose the modem in less than 5 minutes. Thumbs up to TWC tech. Thumbs down to Arris Tech support.

    Easy setup, but coverage is spotty and pops on and off too much. Cheap router from Time Warner was better for $10 / month.

    I purchased this BRAND NEW (it wasn't refurbished) and it kept dropping the internet. SPOKE with 5 reps to finally have them tell me it needed to be replaced. Well, now I have to PAY for shipping for a replacement unit! I don't feel I should have to PAY anything additional since this unit NEVER WORKED properly! MORALE: if you do buy it and it doesn't work, return it to the store IMMEDIATELY!

    The one thing about router/modem combination is that when one breaks, you have to replace the entire thing.

    I've had two of these units go bad now. Both had the same issue and tech support at Arris cannot figure it out. Both units stopped broadcasting the 5G channel. It just disappears for no reason and you can't get it back. So frustrating. They must know there is some defect with this model. Won't buy another unit from this company again!

    I couldn't get it to work with my Comcast cable I think because SBG-6900-AC is so new it's not on the Comcast approved list, until it in the Comcast approved list I can't recommend the newest model yet

    I bought this in hopes of improving the performance of my Time Warner router/modem. It is no better and in fact. cuts out regularly. We have worse service now than before. And the Best Buy personnel were no where to be found when I purchased it. I used to like Best Buy, but they have definitely gone down hill.
