    I'm not sure if it's the Arris or Xfinity messing, but it seems to stop working from time to time. Then I have to turn it off and back on.

    I needed a new router. Research led me to this Arris. It's true, top of the line. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

    You can't do much better. It's allowing our household to telework (2 adults, one doing VoIP), as well as two kids to homeschool and video conference in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    This Arris is perfect for the high speed internet service we have. Lightening hit our other one (also an Arris) and this was the up to date one for us to buy.

    This was very easy to set up. Beats paying the rental few from the cable companies. The app that is associated with the modem is great. Would recommend

    So far so good! Upgraded a month or two ago to this and it has been working well. Wifi is more consistent throughout the home. Was a little tricky to find where to updagred for own equipment via the Xfinity app but once located that it was easy peasy.

    Ordered online, did curbside pickup which was wonderful while I’m staying home. The Arris very easy to install. Happy with it, enabled me to get rid of extra pc of equipment.

    Fast and easy to install wireless cable model & wifi router. it was important to us that it was infinity-specific since that is the cable company that we use.

    This is a good product but I cannot give it 5 stars because of the wifi. It seems that the connections are not as strong as my netgear router. I had to buy an extenter in order for the signal to reach though out my home.

    I finally decided to purchase instead of paying my internet provider rent on theirs. Once I figured out setting it up, it’s worked well. No issues with losing it.

    Not quite a month yet, but I’m very happy with this purchase. It was well worth the money. Works well with Comcast/Xfinity. I’m not into renting equipment so paying a little extra for a quality Modem & Dual-Band WiFi Router that will last is worth a lot more to me. The Customerservice with Best Buy and Arris were excellent when setting everything up. When time to replace, I’m very likely to purchase the same brand, as long as this keeps working as well as it has so far.
