A good update from an older Arris

After trying to connect this unit to my Xfinity service, I ended up first calling Xfinity for help (they had messed up my service due to a move) and then calling Arris because the Xfinity tech messed up the setup by not following Arris instructions. HOWEVER, Arris totally fixed the Xfinity oopsie and got me up and running.
I bought this modem/wifi to replace an older one that no longer worked with Xfinity. I am pleased. Connectivity is faster and the thinking dots are now minimal rather than constant. Arris tech service was really patient and qualified, identifying the problem and fixing it.

Returned After Poor Performance

I'd been looking to replace the gateway that Xfinity provides and this was my first attempt. The setup and activation was very easy using the Xfinity app but the performance left a lot to be desired.
The Xfinity gateway provides acceptable download and upload speeds as far as I can tell, although I never tested thoroughly. However, switching over to the G20 immediately provided degraded quality. My PS5, which is at the far edge of my basement, was only getting a good signal while it would get a full signal using Xfinity's gateway. Also, the G20 was causing noticeable buffering while using my AppleTV in the same location as the PS5, which was not happening on the Xfinity's gateway.
I ended up returning the G20 promptly.

It is good just for regular stuff like tv , but if you need to work from home , you may use some kind of software (zscaller, vpn or something)
It will be kicking out you from that (internet connection will be lose ) and it is not compatible with those. Because of some limited availability to route the traffic, connection issues.
