    We bought this modem for my elderly parents after having a hard time with the cable provider. So far it has worked excellent and they finally have reliable service.

    Comcast couldn't route a signal through it even with a tech coming out to try. Of course their own router worked but this was supposed to be compatible with Comcast so pretty disappointed for the money I had dropped on it. Returned it since it wasn't of any use.

    Works as well as the one I had but not great range. Barely goes upstairs. I don't see any difference between this and the wifi router provided by my ISP. Recommended if you don't already have a wifi router

    Admin interface is bad

    Average. The admin control panel is the worst I have ever seen and used. It is glitched and lags 100% of the time. The mobile application is useless. Does not work as intended. The speeds were "average" compared to the rental modem from Cox. That is why I returned it.

    I spent HOURS on the phone with Comcast and Arris--including going back and forth between the two--trying to get this product programmed to work with Comcast. No one at either company could do it. I have it on good authority--from a very reputable computer repair company--that Comcast does this on purpose--refrains from syncing the their cable service with the Arris product THEY RECOMMEND--so you'll rent a modem/router from them at BIG BUCKS. It was a very unnerving and uncomfortable experience. I regret very much switching to Comcast. Ended up having to return the Arris product and (sigh!) renting from Comcast.

    Pretty solid router. Have definitely noticed it’s far more consistent than previous routers. We don’t game, but stream and wife has at home business. Hardly ever have issues
