This was easy to install. I no longer need a Wi-Fi extender. All cameras and devices run without a hitch. No more streaming issues either. Beware, however, this is a Wi-Fi 6 device so my older computer wound longer connect.

We've been using the same modem for the past 7 years, and we decided to switch to a new one after our old one kept shutting down. This was an excellent purchase, and I am content with the features and speed of this modem. It is an excellent modem for its price point and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to purchase a modem!

I spent over a week on NETGEAR CAX30 for a slow speed issue (speed is around 25% of my plan). I finally learned that both NETGEAR CAX30 and NETGEAR CAX80 routers have had a slow speed issue for sometimes and the software is unable to correct this issue at this time. I bought ARRIS SURFboard model G36 and It worked as expected out of the box. It keeps a speed of around 940Mbps (my plan is Xfinity 1Gbps) constantly for days. I am very pleased with this product. It's straightforward to set up and is easy to config the router according to my home's security cameras, and server.

This product is okay if you don't need a phone line. The problem it will take over a year to justify this over the cost of renting one from xfinity. I used this for 9 months and then it died, took 2 weeks to get a new one, xfinity got me one out in 3 days. If you keep it as a backup it's okay, but I wouldn't rely on it anymore.
The product itself worked really good, but not any better over the Xfinity one. For context I use 1 ubiquiti US-24 and 2 Ubniquiti inifi lite -8s. 22 hardwire devices and 12 wireless devices and 5 IoT devices connected.

Works very well but the app is full of bugs I still recommend this product, the company just needs to work on the installation app.

This was my first time to connect a router with internet provider. It took me five days to roll up my sleeves to start this project. Luckily, the connection was easy and the instructions were clear. You just need download the app and a cord from internet provider and follow the step by step.
Im enjoying the connection and performance. Highly recommend this router.

I really like this product. My only gripe is it occassionally drops connection maybe once or twice a day. Ive tried all the tricks i know to fix the issue, nothing works. In addition to that, i did have to return this product to get a replacement because the previous one because it wouldnt go online for some reason. Still... im content with this product because of its blazing fast speed.

Great product, easy to setup, would require booster for coverage, has an app with poor rating but I found it functional. The only reason I returned product is my ISP will not allow the Max Package Giga Extra plans.

I got this modem to replace an older model that wasn't wifi6 specified. Haven't really noticed a difference in performance. Not dropping out of sync as much, but still having some of the same issues that prompted me to upgrade my modem and router in the first place. Because I don't know if my issues are with the router or the modem, I can't say with any certainty I would recommend this device.

Easy setup with my ISP, the 2.5Gbps is a great since my computer supports it. And the web interface is easy to navigate. The only downside being that the Surfboard app advertised in the instructions does not support this model. It’s not a problem for me, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Arris is great. Reliable connection (so long as isp is not having problems), and easy setup. These are my go-to.
