However, some customers have reported connectivity issues and weak signal strength in certain areas. A few customers also mentioned that the app is not very intuitive.

    Works but sometimes my ISP loses connection to it, not sure if it's the device or my ISP dropping the ball on that.

    Another selection of great choices that was offered from Best Buy. I've already found a coffee grinder on line from Best Buy that I can't wait to purchase in my cart.

    I needed to upgrade my modem/router to get higher speeds. This was just what I needed & it wasn't to pricey. This particular model is good if you don't need 1Gig speed.

    Hot garbage of a combo unit. Consistent connection problems since install. Network dropping out, and is starting to drop out multiple times a day. I should have more reviews of the unit, as this is a common occurrence it looks like. It's barely three weeks old. I'm outside of the return policy now, and out 200 bucks, but that's my fault for not trying to return it sooner. Don't be like me. Don't give this thing a chance.

    I recently increased my internet speed to 500 megabytes and I am able to stream youttube and Paramont+ without any drop outs or buffering. This device is saving me $ 15 a month that I do not have to pay Comcast. An excellent buy.

    I have already returned this item. I could not install it with the app. I then had the cable company send out a service person to install it. I managed to get two laptops and one roku tv to connect but no other devices could connect. Tech assistance from Arris could not provide a solution and disturbingly their terminology did not match that of the products published or on line information.
