    Works great. Had to contact Xfinity to help me set it up. Wasn’t able to do it myself. So far, so good. I’d give it a 5 except I don’t know how it will work long term.

    I've had this modem for a while now and have been happy with it's performance. The price was great compared to other products out there with similar capabilities/maximum speeds. Seems this modem should support speed upgrades for at least a few years ahead.

    This surfboard was easy to set up thanks to the Arris app. I was up and running—even with my ISP’s assistance—in less than 45 minutes. And I’m not computer savvy! Only my old printer needed a nudge to connect wirelessly; every other device quickly picked up the connection. I have checked the app every day since the installation and all devices are still connected to the Internet.

    This modem was fast, when it worked. However, we had to reset it multiple times per day while we had it. It wasn’t worth the price.

    I bought this to replace my old cable modem to get faster speeds. So glad i got this unit. It replaced my entire home network gear. The built in wireless was so strong i no longer needed my old access point extenders and i have blazing speeds now through out the whole house with just this one device. All i can say is WOW!

    Replacement for my old modem which was no longer supported by Cox. Mistakenly purchased thinking this was just a modem. It is a Modem /Router. By the time I figured it out it was too late to return it. Hooked it up anyway and plugged in the Google home router and turned of the built in Router. Works good, but I’m sure I would have saved some money if it was only a modem.

    Warranty not supported

    On June 3rd purchased and installed an Arris G36 gateway/modem. On July 25th my cable company informed me that I should replace my gateway/modem as it is sending feedback signals causing issues on their network and they also installed a filter to block the signals. Called Arris for a warranty replacement and after a review of the WAN information my calm was rejected. They calmed the cable company was the issue, not the product. This product Arris G36 Gateway may leave having to purchase another gateway/modem to replace the unit as Arris doesn’t support the warranty of the unit.

    Difficulty initiating connectivity through my ISP. Seemed like their cross-connectivity was challenging. Otherwise, works quite well.
