||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I could rate this no stars, I would. we had turn this back, as we could not get it work properly. Purchased a different brand and got our wifi to easily start up in just about 60 seconds. For the Arris, we tried mulitple times and just couldn't get it hooked up - you need an ethernet connection and it was far more complex.....

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device itself is just OK, but the app you used to change passwords Wi-Fi network names and so forth really really really sucks! Thinking of returning it for that reason because it’s that bad

So far so good...excellent modem
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Arris SURFboard modem is an excellent choice for cable internet subscribers. I'm using it with Mediacom. Setup was straightforward and the directions were clear. I chose to set up the modem with the Android app and that was a little confusing at first, but set up completed without too much trouble. However, the app does not have available all the features of the modem that can be found via the modem's IP address control panel. So I basically have no reason to use the app and prefer to use the web control panel. I did notice a slight increase in upload/download speeds from my previous modem (50/130mbps vs 35/120mbps). Wifi connections and speed were good also. I have about 10 devices on my home network and the router function of the modem handled them all without trouble.

I would recommend this to a friendPiece of crap.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It hasn’t worked correctly from the initial installation. A call to Arris support was a complete farce. I will be returning it as soon as my replacement from a different manufacturer and retail establishment arrives. Won’t ever buy another Arris or be likely to shop at Best Buy a as gain.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBuyer Beware
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Horrible. This is my third Arris combo piece of equipment. All were amazing, except this one. This model drops service frequently, needs to be reset and or restored. Customer service is horrible too. Don't buy this one.
