    I purchased this product to replace my Spectrum cable modem and save money on monthly rental. The product works great and allows me to maximize my cable internet speed to 400 MB.

    All Eris routers, g34 and g36, that a recommended for Xfinity do not work. Let me rephrase that they do not work at all and drop signal constantly. Do not buy anything from Eris ever. I have been in the middle of a 3-day nightmare working with 15 different technicians from Xfinity and this router is garbage. Stay far away from this company and everything that they make. The sooner they go out of business the better for all of us. All they do is waste people's time and money and energy. The support for this modem is also garbage. Save yourself a lot of time and frustration and just don't do it. Do not buy this piece of garbage.

    Used it for a few months and worked great. Then it just kept disconnecting and was super inconsistent. Ended up going with separate modem and router

    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

    Xfinity advertised this model as compatible. First two weeks it worked great. Then it stopped working - after two calls with xfinity and having a technician come out it still doesn’t work properly. The internet speeds when using a direct line ethernet cord starts out high then drops to nothing. Mobile devices connected to the wi-fi have slow speeds and no speeds - both spouse and i turn off the wifi on our phones while home daily so we can have internet access. Macbook air - i tether to my phone. Video calls drop out in the middle if connected to wifi and have to use cellular network on all devices. After 2 weeks cant return to best buy and the support from company is nonexistent. If you have xfinity as your internet provider DO NOT BUY.

    This constantly drops out and has to be rebooted. If you search this model, you will see that many people have the same problem. This should be removed from the market as it clearly has design flaw. Dont buy.
