    Very easy to setup. Interaction with tech support was excellent. Performance vs. our ISP-provided cable modem/WiFi router is like night and day. BB provided this device at a good value.

    The setup process is remarkably straightforward, often taking only a few minutes with the help of the accompanying app. With the power of Wi-Fi 6 technology, this device delivers a significant boost in performance, providing faster speeds and a more stable connection, even when multiple devices are streaming, gaming, and working simultaneously. This modem and router combo is a great way to say goodbye to monthly rental fees. It's perfect for a small house and the price is reasonable.

    This thing is just ok. The documentation is poor, the login information to set up your router is in very tiny print at the bottom of a tiny pamphlet, amongst other irrelevant information. I had to call the help desk and they had to point it out to me. Maybe it's just Xfinity, but my devices tell me they are disconnected from the internet more than I like, which requires a power-restart. The hard-wire connection is fine. My macbook pro doesn't like talking to this thing, though that's most likely because it insists on the highest security level. I'm going to buy a netgear or TP-link and see how that router works hard-wired into this cable modem...

    Arris 3.1 Cable Gateway for Xfinity

    I owned an Arris gateway several years ago that worked very well for me. I made the mistake of replacing it with a Netgear gateway, and was never happy with it. I experienced a lot of drops and always thought it was Xfinity fault. I started to experience several drop outs and had Xfinity out and they changed the wire all the way from the street to my modem and I still experienced dropped connections. Xfinity came back and tested the connection and showed me all the errors on my gateway. They suggested I get a new gateway. I'm happy to report I went back to Arris and have had a solid connection ever since. It was easy to setup. The biggest hassle was having Xfinity change it in their system. I highly recommend this gateway.

    Amazing modem router combo. Easy to setup, brings out the best in my internet service. Besides the speeds i think the most impressive part is the wifi range is far longer than any I've ever seen. I can get half way down the street and still have signal. My only slight complaint is the built-in in software is a little lacking doesn't give as much control as id like and isn't the best to navigate. Otherwise I would of gave it 5 stars
