The Arris Surfboard modem was easy to set up and performs well. The activation with my cable company was the longest activity in the process.

I've always purchased high end netgear nighthawk modems and wifi equipment. After Xfinity caused yet another issue with my netgear modem, I took a chance on the Arris s34. I'm happy to report that the speed is actually faster with this modem that is half the price! Thanks Arris!

I truly didn’t think this would make that much of a difference and I was wrong was finally able to see my speeds increase. If you have a 1G plan then this will allow you to see what you are paying for.

Great modem, small package so it does not use a lot of space and it has great speeds. Only negative is that they don’t provide an Ethernet cable which is unfortunate but overall a good product.

Best Buy’s service was great! I really appreciate their router trade-in program, which gave me 15% off. This router works well so far — good speed and performance — but it does get noticeably hot during use.

So far its working fine, I have a gig plan from Xfinity but I'm only getting 800-850 when hard wired to my Nighthawk 5400 router
Does run very hot over 120 deg.

Works perfectly as it should. I purchased with an Orbi 371 mesh router and that is terrible. I may go back and try the Arris modem/router combo to simplify things.

Purchased this modem to upgrade my SB6183 to eventually get a higher download speed package with Xfinity. So far it works flawlessly. Already getting a bit higher download speed.

Definitely an improvement in upload and download speeds with our Xfinity cable service. Just make sure you follow the instructions carefully to register the device with your network using the app. And be patient! It took a couple of tries before i was up and running, but it wasn't long, and I didnt have to contact Xfinity for any help.

What a great successor to the 1 Gbps Arris modem. No more using ISP equipment as the Arris is simply far more reliable, both in terms of throughput and uptime. Ditch the ISP modems and go with Arris. Solid. Dependable.
