    Router combo is working well. However, it took several days to get it started. I had to have an cable company tech connect a cable to my mesh system. The combo router had separate connections for the internet (cable) and the wifi systems. I did not know this and after calling the surfboard techs several times, I was finally connected properly. I do not like the fact that the modem router is not completely wireless since I needed a cable for the mesh system. Other than that it is great. My speed is faster than my old combo router.

    This Modem & Router Combo replaced my old one. It was easy to set up and is working well. Not getting dropped from my work remote anymore is a huge bonus.

    Needed a new Modem/Router as the one I had before hand was aging and was losing support in terms of software updates, and overall just needed something better to support the growing amount of devices I have at home. I've been with this this SURFboard for maybe only a few weeks at this point and I gotta say it's handling well. With just enough ethernet ports to support the only wired devices (two desktops) and a good handling of bandwidth for all the wireless stuff. My only gripe was that I had to call my service provider to activate, which is just an extra step in the process to the setup that kinda made me groan because I never had to do that before with any other unit I've had. Otherwise I can't complain too much. It's doing a fantastic job so far!

    I thought this combo modem for my college student. Easy to connect once we realized we needed to buy an Ethernet cable not included. We do get to FaceTime however he has to go outside to make a call? No connection inside his place? We’re told it’s a dead spot? Anyhow he can game and use internet with no issues. Thats my reason for 4 stars

    Was hoping I would get more range based on the pictures and reviews I saw. But it's about what my last Arris Surfboard was able to put out. Set up with Xfinity was a pain in the behind, but that was on Xfinity support not the Arris team.
