    Easy set up. Thus modem was priced right and has so far appeared to stabilize my internet reliability. I was losing connectivity almost every afternoon and that issue has been solved.

    Great product—however the serial # is fonted very small and 0’s and O’s are used interchangeably causing much confusion

    I purchased an Arris Surfboard DOCSIS 3.1 Modem and a LINKSYS MAX-STREAM Router for my computer. The sales person (Tara) that helped me with purchase was very helpful and knowledgeable. I got the items home, hooked them up and have had no problems.

    Excellent modem for the money. The next best modem that offers a telephone connection is nearly double the price.

    Standard cable modem. Nothing fancy about it. Does the job. Saves having to pay Comcast their $15 monthly fee. It's paid for itself.

    It's fine, it works, but it definitely took several calls to comcast to get it fully functional. Doesn't quite seem as nice as the netgear offering, but it certanly works well.

    Good modem, but potentially faulty chipset

    It's a good modem, but it uses a known bad Intel Puma chipset, which may lead to latency issues. If you don't care about the occasional jitter, this is a good modem to get.

    The Arris Modem has allowed me to break the control of Comcast on my strength and cost of using their system. It will take me several years to break even but like the freedom this modem gives me,

    Adding up costs of renting cable equipment over time is astronomical! The Geek Squad set up my modem; lower monthly cable bill! Works well & extended warranty too…
