    Outstanding 3.1 Gig Modem/Router. Initially did not setup with COX. Called Arris was told to restore/reset to Factory Spec. After the RestoreReset to Factory Spec locked in great. Also had to upgrade to Gig Ethernet Card. Speeds are now in the ballpark of what COX promised for a Gig Modem/Router.

    Setup was delayed, due to Comcast not taking the information correctly over the phone. Had to take the modem into the Xfinity store for correct setup. Very easy user setup once it was running online.

    We needed to switch from DSL to cable (Xfinity) at short notice, and this was what was available. While it does work, for the price it could have more/better features. The good: * It's fast * It supports IPV6 * It supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi and can do channel steering to 5GHz The bad: * It has no real-time bandwidth monitoring * The logging is basically useless (i.e. intermittently we get an unlocked channel but no indication of why) * It takes 5 minutes or more to reboot

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    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.

    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 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.
