However, some customers have reported connectivity issues and weak signal strength in certain areas. A few customers also mentioned that the app is not very intuitive.

    I've had it up and running for several days now and it is great - very fast. The only issue I can add is the mobile app to get it installed was glitchy and caused some stress but once I was provisioned by my ISP it was a piece of cake to get it going.

    It was easy to install for someone who has no knowledge nor cares to have knowledge in the techno world. You do have to have your service company out to sync it. Has a very strong range in my 1942 brick home, which my last modem router did not have as strong of an output.

    Needed to upgrade my old ARRIS modem/router, and this one more than fit the bill. It's a great modem/router that easily handles my upgraded higher internet speed at home. WiFi works perfectly. It was very easy to set up, but had to call both ARRIS and Xfinity to get it registered and working with my internet. My newest work laptop doesn't even have a slot for a cable connection (have to use WiFi), but the router can handle up to 4 wire connections if you need that.

    Seemed to improve the range of my internet, however somewhat complicated when it comes to modifying settings such as changing the password. Also seems to have to be reset periodically because of lost internet connection.

    While the setup was generally simple, the fact that my in-laws do not have a smart phone made this terribly convoluted. It resulted in setting up the modem as myself and then go through several adminstration changes to get the account back in their name. Speed, etc, are all acceptable.
