So the upstream QAM which will mean nothing to a lot of people needs to be at a certain power level like 45 to 60. Most cable companies. It seems like run at 35 to 40. You will constantly lose connection. Your ISP will ignore you Arris doesn't have a good answer for you this is a bad product and false advertisement

I was sold two different modems, both I had to return due to Non compatibility of what I needed, even though I explained it needed to be compatible with Cox and with Tel Line. ( Land Line) The two didn't have a port for a land line. ;(
I heard the brand is really good, but make sure you get what you need.

So far, so good. However, the box says it's Wi-Fi6, but on the computer screen it says it's Wi-Fi5. Not sure what that's all about. Still better than renting a modem/router.

Setup is longer then I thought. Call ISP, easy setup on their end. Noticed I was getting slower WiFi internet speed then our previous router (DOCSIS 3.0), I became concerned. Wired speed 874 Mbsp and wireless 11.9 Mbsp and only one room away from the router. Had to wait 2 hours for Arris customer service center to open (11am central time). The reviews for the Surfboard app are true, it bad. The waittime was quick, the agent did her best to rectify the problems, but more issues were created. By the end of the call and numerous tries to connect the G34, I had no WI-FI connectivity to our home. Packed the G34 back up and reconnected my old Netgear Blackhawk.

The Arris Surboard G34 I received was Garbage. I purchased it as a New unit. However, I may have been sent a Refurbished one or completely Defective. I just setup with my ISP yesterday. By nighttime the Surboard G34 no longer worked. No lights, No Power, just dead. Plugged into different outlet with lamp that works just to confirm it wasnt an outlet issue and still Nothing. Very expensive piece of garbage. Do Not Recommend
