    The S33 works but if you are on Xfinity and have the 2000Mb service with increased upload it doesn't work as well. Xfinity for some reason isn't allowing the S33 to upload any faster than 40Mb. The S33 can upload up to 2500Mb but for some reason Xfinity is preventing it.

    Setup was easy and this modem is more stable then what I received from Comcast. I also can now control my settings when hooked to a router without having it all in one.

    Wifi modem was good, but I returned as I needed a stronger Wifi connection that had a built in modem according to Comcast. I returned as I didn't want to purchase a seperate modem with my wifi unit.
