    Easy set up and great technical support! Works great and doesn’t drop out. I used technical support because it failed a software update and they forced it remotely.

    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!

    Over the yrars we have purchased our Routers and Modems rather than lease from our provider. We purchase a few steps up which means we aren't replacing these as often as the lease items which saves a dollar or 2. What I like is the all in one feature. It saves room on the desk. The item is stylish. The challenge with having your own items is the hours, and yes I do mean hours it takes to get the internet provider an the manufacturer to synch the item. It did take the better part of 2 days of phone calls to get this sucker up and running. If not for that I would have given it 5 stars.

    I've had this Arris Surfboard for a little over a month now. It has worked fine after the initial setup. If you are a Cox customer wanting to purchase this item, just know that you will have to call a Cox rep to complete the setup. This is not plug and play for Cox customers.

    Works great so far. Didn't expect my old Modem and Router combo to fail, but this was purchased and is exactly what I need. Set up was quick, and connections work great so far! Hope it lasts longer than my other Arris model did!

    I needed a basic modem/router combo, and the price was reasonable. I had to download the app to install, but has worked well since.

    Worked great and is what was recommended by our ISP. We did end up not needing it though as our old modem/router started working again. However, we did set it up and support walked us through the setup.
