    After two hours on chat with Cox customer service, the product still doesn't work (I was asked for the model number and MAC more than once). I am past the two-week return period for this modem, but can still spend $35 to make Geek Squad deal with it. If I were Best Buy, I wouldn't sell cable modems.

    Upgraded from a very old Arris router/modem combo and this works perfectly, was easy to set up and I don't have the connectivity issues I was before. I work from home and do design so I need fast reliable internet. This fits the bill without the hassle of a separate router and modem and mesh systems or anything else. Just plug this in a central location and you're good to go.

    Bought this to replace a very expensive Netgear WIFI6 that I had just returned because it performed terribly and the connection kept dropping. This Arris is fantastic, good speed and a reliable connection. Plus setup was fairly straightforward.

    This product has been worth the money. I would recommend not using the app for set up though because the app truly isn’t up to par yet. Once I called customer service though I was up in running in a relatively good time!!
