    This replaced a Netgear modem and Netgear Nighthawk router on Wave Internet Provider. Works great! Great parental control over connected Devices. I was able to control my devices when not on home network with Nighthawk, but unable to do that with Arris Surfboard.

    It seems expensive to get quality Xfinity 1gig service and Xfinity tech people suck on the phone when it first was set up. The range of the wifi is fair. But it works so

    After so many years of paying a fee each month to rent a modem from Xfinity, I decided to buy one. Paid for itself after a few months. Best decision. Easy to set up. Fast.

    Works great! Bonus that it is a combo product, so have only one thing to plug in. I had a minor glitch with set up, called customer service where a real person answered the phone and helped me right away.

    Set up was fairly straightforward. Getting blazing fast speeds. But the reason only four stars is that I’ve had to format the modem a couple times to re-achieve the fast speeds. It sometimes slows down, and I don’t think it’s my ISP. After formatting the modem, it does start working again.

    works well for connecting to the internet and newer computers.and I phones. There is little information about the device displayed on the panel lights It lacks a WPS button so connecting to older equipment is extremely difficult or impossible. Have spent hours on the phone with several vendors and have not had any luck connecting to my existing equipment.

    So far the modem has performed flawlessly, the Arris mobile app could be better, but the modem works as advertised, havent got to test my full throughput capabilities until I get some hard wire runs complete so work exclusively with wireless side of things and it performs brilliantly.

    i was really expecting more when paying 300 dollars. More issues than expected and less coverage distance. At one point all my devices were kicked off the network.

    Great router if you know what you are doing, If you are like me there is a huge learning curve. You have to download an app to get it to connect properly.
