After online chatting for 10 minutes with a Bestbuy tech, I thought I had what I needed. Once I took it home and used it (xbox, cell phones, and Arlo) it did not perform well. I returned the product.

Substandard functioning all around=range, speed, dropping the signal ... All of the important features of a modem. I'm ready to resurrect my old modem.
Don't waste your money even if you're desperate.

It would constantly disconnect all my devices, and then tell me the password was incorrect, and the only way to solve that was to use the reset button on the device. That happened at least once a day

I thought I would have a faster connection with this modem/router. It is no different versus the $90 options. I live in a two bedroom condo which is not huge. I would not buy this again.

Easy Setup, Fast Cable Internet Connection

This is a combo router/modem, for use with compatible cable providers. In my case, this was for a Spectrum household. Setup was a breeze, after contacting my ISP (Spectrum), I found that this was compatible with their near gigabit speeds. So, like any techie, I upgraded to Spectrums 940Mbps service.
Once it was provisioned for use on Spectrum, it immediately ran a quick update (downloading from the ISP), and was up and running in just a few minutes. Wireless speeds vary, but I was able to get approx 500 to 800 Mbps speeds while connected on 5Ghz, and being near the router.
In network speeds are just as fast, with compatible wireless devices. Watching a movie on Apple TV took only a couple of seconds to start, compared to the 5 or 10 seconds on my previous speed tier (300Mbps [Grandfathered TWC speeds]). Coverage was as expected for an all in one wireless router. It reached about 80% of my home, with the furthest point downloading at 50 Mbps speed tests. This was still pretty fast, considering the distance upstairs (the furthest point) in a 2100 Sq ft home. Your results may vary, but my neighborhood has a ton of wireless networks running on similar channels over 2.4 Ghz bands. However, given the performance without an extender, this easily bested a technicolor modem/router combo I was using previously.
Once I finished the network test, I added my eero mesh network, bridged the modem, disabled WiFi on the modem/router combo, and allowed my eero network to handle the WiFi. This took minimal effort, just logged in to the Admin settings panel, and made the changes effortlessly.
Once I had my eero network handle the WiFi, I had whole home coverage, and 600 to 700 Mbps speeds at the furthest point. Given my setup, this was extremely impressive. So far, I've had the modem hooked up for several days, with no outages, lag is virtually gone in gaming, and streaming has been a real dream. So much so, I cancelled the TV provided by Spectrum, and just use streaming services on my Apple TV.
I'm really impressed with the Modem/Router combo, especially for the speeds it allows on Spectrum's network.
