Very easy setup

ARRIS-SURFBoard S33 modem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Surprisingly 10 times better than any Netgear modem that I have owned and I was very surprised when it got here due to the size the pictures one Best Buys website tend to depict this modem to be large like the Netgear modem that I used to have but in all actual fact this modem is very compact and would fit on a small shelf and it also does give you the 2.5 Gbps if you have a lan port on you computer/laptop that is rated for that speed or a router that can handle that.... All in all I would 100% recommend this modem to anyone that is looking to bump up their internet speed somewhat this modem works best for anyone who has 1gig speed internet but will work with lower connection speed also

Solid surfboard
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had my previous arris surfboard for 4 years but noticed a little bit of a bottleneck in my network so I decided to pull the trigger on this as it was compatible with xfinity. I didn’t need a wireless modem as I had a mesh system. After a few reviews this item was usually at or near the top of recommended equipment. Install and set up were easy and in no time I was seeing consistent speeds. For whatever reason though I noticed that my ubiquiti UniFi system wasn’t able to communicate with this modem so i did end up purchasing a new Orbi mesh system. I am not sure which piece of equipment was at fault for the lack of compatibility but I switched to a Netgear Orbi system and it it works great. My speeds more than tripled compared to my old modem and wifi system. If it last as long as my previous surfboard it should save me money in the long run as I’m not paying the monthly xfinity rental fee.

Pleased Buyer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted the faster internet speed so I chose this DOCSIS 3.1 unit to replace a 3.0 unit by the same manufacturer. Easy installation. Seems like it just did what it was supposed to do. I have used it for about a month with COX internet and have not had any issues. Would purchase again.

The Best gigabit + Modem

It just works 2.5g. Wan port allows you to break that gigabit threshold. It's reliable. It just works. You set up it up and forget about it.

Great Modem
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works as it should, set up to my Xfinity was easy but it took some time, and as of right now no issues. I purchased ASUS ZEN (black towers) mesh and works like a charm.

Fast as Lightning
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our area just got 1 gig speeds, and this has more than helped to make that a reality. The specs on this modem are thoroughly future proof as well, as even when speeds extend this modem should be compatible for that bandwidth. Solid buy

Upgrade from previous model.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The router is an upgrade to the previous due pared model. My bandwidth dropped significantly and I wondered what the issue had been. After investigating I found that I needed to upgrade to this newer router. Once again I am now getting the 1g download bandwidth for which I pay. I d recommend this router. I will say that this model is meant to be placed on a surface rather than hanging in a nail to the wall. This models design is fit for placing anywhere and it is not an eye sore. Overall I am satisfied with this purchase.
