Works great...when it works. Drops internet connection randomly and usually needs to be rebooted. Not recommended if you have Xfinity.

Performance wasn't worth the cost to us. Ended up replacing it with a more powerful unit less than two years later.

We had to return this device because Xfinity requires us to rent their modem. We were super bummed because we wanted to own our own equipment. Check your provider before splurging.

Lots of struggles installing this modem/router. I finally had to call Arris for help which was a good experience. My service is Xfinity and they were basically useless

I had to return this for a Motorola due to it not working. But to be fair, I think it was a Comcast issue that they resolved when they came out.

This modem is good but no better than what xfinity offers. I did not get any improvement changing the modems. Ended up returning and saved money.
