    The product works great and the modem router combo is good value. Setting up with provider, Xfinity, was very easy. The smartphone app is needed to set up the device. I was able to do so and rename my network and password, but the app has technical issues that doesn’t allow some of its features to work. Its okay as the device otherwise functions great!

    Some of the best money I have ever spent!!! I really am impressed with the Arris Modem/Router. Both my laptop and TV work better than before I got it. My older router would record TV programs and have breaks in the playback, but not with this one. The sales person said it was good - and he was so right.

    Replaced rented xfinity unit. Less bulky on desk top. Set up instructions were a bit confusing. Works just fine, should pay for itself in about 10 months.

    It works well downstairs but the upstairs still gets sluggish slow down. I am not sure if it is the company or the new router since both were upgraded. All and all it seems to work really good for the price.

    I like the look of this item it seems to be working fine however sometimes we seem to loose the connection. We are not sure if the issue is the modem or wifi supplier. I would purchase it again.

    I’ve had no issues with my internet (aside from a power outage) I download a lot every week day for work and it’s worked like a charm. It saves space to have a modem and router all in one. I’m glad the Best Buy associate I spoke to recommended this to me and would recommend this product to others.
