    I bought this cable modem to replace the one I was renting from Comcast. I haven't had ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL. And I also get 5G network via wifi and my Samsung Ultra 20 5G phone loves it. Everything in my house r is connected and gets a STRONG and FAST signal. I recommend this purchase for anyone.

    If you are replacing a unit on an existing service it is easy to install and update your Xfinity account online. It took maybe 5 minutes to install and update and change ID plus password.

    I have returned this product back to BBY, since it did not increase reliability nor speed of the internet compare to DOCSIS 3.0. I guess the problem is due to my cable service.

    Although this was a little more expensive then some other options, it was recommended by our cable company. We had no problems setting it up on our own and it’s been about 2 weeks and we’ve had zero problems. Buying our own router and modem was cheaper then renting from our cable provider.

    Purchased this for our Cox service to replace an older ARRIS SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 unit. Quickly connected, great speed and connections for all of our devices. Haven't needed to unplug for a reboot yet, solid unit! A bit pricey, but sometimes you need to spend up for a critical need.

    Had to upgrade my modem to accommodate service to two computers using all four ports. The first modem I chose under this particular model was either defective or could not provide the required output/performance .This model has so far satisfied our requirements with no disruptions/complaints.

    Solved all my problems! I was having so many issues with my internet. It got so bad that I was using my cellular data all the time. I thought it was my internet provider but was informed it could be my modem. I upgraded and since then everything has been perfect!

    Purchase the item to replace rental one from communications company which was costly over many years not to own. This product is also an upgrade to what I previously used. It’s quality and easy installation at a reasonable cost help with my decision to purchase.

    Cable modem/router is very fast and seems to work well so far. The app that is suggested to download to your smartphone needs to be updated for modem/router modifications.
