    Comcast could not get to work

    After following setup instructions, was not getting internet. Tested hardwire from cable modem to computer and to wireless router and no go. So I called Comcast for support and they set it up on their end and said I was good to go, but internet and phone not working. My router said there was no DHCP from ISP. Comcast said it was my gear, but then gave up and had the go back to their Advanced Gateway and it of course worked like a charm. I am sure there is nothing wrong with the modem, but for now stuck with still having to rent DOCSIS 3.1 modem for gig speed and phone needs.

    Aaris modems are the best. Great signal output to my router. Great price at $150.00. No longer pay Comcast monthly rental fees.

    Bought this product to replace my prior Netgear modem with Xfinity. It is performing well, no dropped connections. I did have to call Xfinity for them to connect on their end because the app would not work. The only downside, it has 2 ethernet ports but you can only use 1 unless you set up the other one with Xfinity. Overall, would recommend as a good replacement.

    Replaced the rented one from Comcast/Xfinity with this. You will need time with Xfinity technical support to get it going. The pain was trying to get through Xfinity call system. Approx. 4 attempts to reach a technical person, however, that person knew what they were doing. So far so good. Wish we would of done this years ago. Probably paid for at least several through rental prices.

    We purchased this item only to find it was still connected to somebody else’s Wi-Fi, so therefore we had to return.
