Works Great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great! Internet speeds improved after upgrading to this modem. The app did not work for installation - I needed to call Astound, and was on the phone for close to an hour.

Must Have Modem for DIY Installers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple to setup and full of the features you're looking for. This modem is compact and a breeze to walk through activation with Xfinity. The 2.5Gb LAN port allows access to most ISPs over provisioning enabling faster than 1gig connections.

Excellent Modem, May Require Multiple Setup Attemp
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent modem and easy to setup. Would have given it full stars, however it took well over half an hour to connect and multiple attempts. Did boost my speed significantly and corrected a lot of connectivity issues from my previous ARRIS modem.

Small modem very powerful
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comcast stated we needed to get a new modem in order to utilize our high speed internet. We purchased this and it has been working great. It's a tiny modem so it doesn't take up much space on our entertainment system. No complaints and no more disconnects which is nice. I would recommend this.

Good choice for a DOCSIS 3.1 modem
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works perfectly. Setup was very easy; just took a quick call to my ISP. Upgraded service from 40 Mbps to 200 Mbps and swapped in this modem for an older Arris Surfboard model. The extra Ethernet-out port is nice but I don't think it's supported by my ISP so I haven't used it yet.

Excellent cable modem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dead simple to set up. Great performance. No longer suffering from the occasional unexplained loss of Internet access that the Spectrum modem was experiencing (and required a reboot to fix). Great solution.

Really the best cable modem
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Arris just works and stays up. Farmmore likely to return to service after network failures than the modems the cable company provides. Also super small!!

It works flawlessly
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I plugged it in, when through the Xfinity/Comcast app to get it permissioned, took less than 3 minutes. It’s now been on and working flawlessly since the date of install. We get maximum down/up speeds as allowed by our ISP plan. Simple, easy, and just works!

Compatible with Spectrum.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.purchased to replace a leased spectrum modem, COMPATIBLE, BUT REQUIRED A CALL TO SPECTRUM IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE ON THEIR SYSTEM. After connecting, speeds were initially super slow because the modem wasn’t registered with Spectrum. A quick call to spectrum customer service, and the rep registered the modem’s ID with the Spectrum system. Now I’m getting fast and reliable downloads. If it lasts about two years I’ll recover the purchase price.

Faulty unit but great customer service
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 1st ARRIS S33 unit we purchased was returned within a week because it kept rebooting. However the exchange unit we're currently using works perfectly. Thus the 4 star rating. 5 stars goes out to Best Buy for their great customer service and easy return/replacement policy. Best Buy is truly the best!

S33 Modem does the job!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has been 6 years since I purchased a modem. My old modem was working fine but sppeds began to lag. I have gigabit internet and a recommendation was made to move up to the S33. It is a very compact workhorse! I have had nothing but great speeds and connectivity with this modem. Hopefully it lasts another 6 years and I can continue to save on the modem rental fees from Xfinity! Would surely purchase again.

Far better than renting a modem from the cable com
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really great quality product. Installation was easy, just plug it in and go. It smaller yet performs better than the one Comcast gave me. When you consider you're saving $15/month by owning your own modem it becomes a great value that pays for itself.
