    Just buy it, you can thank me later. If you upgraded your internet to gigabit speeds and don't rent a modem from your ISP, then you need to buy this. DOCSIS 3.1 taps into the gigabit speeds. To me I just don't know why people rent their modems, but to each their own. The wireless management has the same interface as all the Xfinity routers, so you will be familiar with the basics of the routing. Speeds Xbox - Direct Connect - 1000Mbps Macbook - Wireless - 278Mbps (acceptable given wireless noise)

    Don't use with Xfinity

    This modem was fine when I first started using it, but over time it began losing its internet connection more and more frequently. Now I need to reboot it about twice a day, and this takes about 5 minutes each time, not very good if you are in a WEBEX meeting or streaming TV. There are many complaints about this online. The firmware needs to be upgraded, but Arris claims that only the cable company can do this. Xfinity will do nothing for modems not rented from them. In the end I am left with an expensive outdated modem because no one will update the firmware and Arris refuses to provide the updates and allow you to install them yourself. Hopefully it works better with other providers.

    I had a surfboard for years until a power surge blew it out. I purchased this product and it is a solid as my last surfboard. The only negative is that it is very expensive and you could probably find the same quality in another brand for cheaper. However, it was easy to set up and I knew the quality of this company's products.
