Worst modem ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not purchase this modem. It worked fine for the first 2 weeks but now my internet drops frequently or has a very slow connection. I work from home and I have to bank on if my signal is good that day to get work done.

Tiered of brick and mortar solutions
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried for weeks to improve the wiring in the house since I could never get more than 100 MB’s from my 1 gig service. It took 3 weeks to get Comcast out to trouble shoot only to find out the Surfboard was bad. To add insult to injury Best Buy would only give me a store credit when there was no way to determine the unit they sold me was defective in that time frame. Customer service like that is why everyone is flocking to Amazon. Including me now

Doesn’t connect to internet after ISP tried 3 tome
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not connect to the internet despite Xfinity trying 2x remotely to activate and technician coming to the house to attempt same. Xfinity tech installed their own modem and worked immediately.

I wish it worked out for me
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had my internet go out due to an outage. When Cox got my service internet service back, my old modem didn’t work. Went to Best Buy and bought this. The Cox technician couldn’t get this modem to work. They even sent a second technician and still no go. Then they took a modem from their service vehicle, my internet service worked. I wish I could have gotten this to work especially with the great reviews.

Unreliable, Poor Quality,

Doesn't work for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are not able to use this for internet which is the reason it was purchased. They would not refund my money due to a 15 day return policy that I was not aware of. We took the advice of a sales person that did not know what they were talking about.

Slow wifi
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Wi-Fi is slower than before. I get less than half of the upload and download speeds I did when I had the xfinity router. The range is also poor and only works in the rooms adjacent to the router

Terrible wifi
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never worked right. First i noticed the wifi light never came on then the wifi would barely work. It would come on and off and nothing would reconnect. Hopefully i can return it because its after the 16 days which i though was a 30 day return

Not ideal for use as replacement for Xfinity
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found this produce not only lacking the phone jack, but performing much much slower than the xfinity product. And this was after finally getting the tech help from Arris to log on and walk through the entire connection process. Finally after three months, gave up and rented the product from Comcast, and what a difference. My speed is so much better, sorry I wasted $ 299 plus tax and three months of misery.

Caution!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very disappointed - modem is very slow; does not deliver even close to what is advertised. Brand new unit, set up properly. (And even worse, Best Buy won't take a return on a malfunctioning unit, even if you have a Totaltech Membership.)

Not impressed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to replace my Comcast modem/router and thought it was a good choice because it’s say it can handle my download speed of 1000+mbps. After install and double checking with my provider that everything was working correctly I ran a speed test that was substantially slower then the Comcast modem/router by half the speeds and more!! Returned it next day.
