Works well and easy to setup. If your an Xfinity customer with Home service you will need a sidecar router from Xfinity, if you have TV you will need the cable TV boxes not the wireless, even knowing it will work fine with my setup Xfinity has no way in their billing system to remove their gateway monthly fee from my bill with the wireless TV boxes. Sounds fishy to me. I setup my Orbi as my access point for all my Wi-Fi needs.

I appreciate that I don’t need to pay rent for a modem anymore, but this unit requires a call into Comcast to activate. You cannot activate it yourself using the Xfinity app because the app cannot let you enter all needed information for the voice function. However, I was very happy once the tech got it to work.

I decided to buy this when I switched to Xfinity because the cost to rent their mode/router is $14.99/mo. This seemed way too high and decided it would be prouder to to BYOD. This was the modem that was in stock and compatible. Make sure you check the compatibility info on the Xfinity site prior to purchasing a modem.

I bought this cable modem to upgrade/replace the modem/router I was renting each month from Xfinity. I was able to quickly replace the Xfinity modem with this one and it has worked flawlessly since. It has saved me $14/month in rental fees. I use my own mesh router so this modem was all that I needed.

Got here fast would have been an upgrade from what cox gave me but if you have a land line phone with them you can’t buy one. Only rent. If your isp lets you buy one its great.

I purchased this-(my 3rd and final try) unit as Mediacom informed me it would be compatible with their system-(as the two previous units were). After about 7 hours of phone calls, I was told by a supervisor that this unit would not connect to their system!
I'm sure this is a good unit. I bought a lesser expensive one for my daughter and it works great.

This modem seems to be working very well. Needed a replacement for my old netgear modem that went bad in less than 1 year and wanted to try a different brand. This one seems solid. Very easy to set up with the arris and xfinity apps.
