Super fast modem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like to use this cause it makes the installation easier than using xfinity modems. It's also very reliable and super fast.

Works Well, Very Reliable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This cable modem is fast and reliable. Have had similar models running for years without any issues. Typically the issue is with the Cable Internet Provider. Save yourself the monthly cost of renting a modem from your provider. Pay the cost and you will be saving money before a year is out. Be aware that this is only a modem. This doesn't have Wifi or behave like a Router.

Works great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to upgrade my other modem to make sure it's ready to handle the new technology and faster speeds once they implement them in my area. Right now we get 50Meg download speeds and awaiting for 100Meg. I run a wireless router behind my modem as I think it' runs better than a wifi enabled modem. Connection wise, this modem works great and handles the speeds just fine. No blinking lights anyway, just the ones that are on and they stay solid and that's it.

Great choice for modem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just moved to Danbury, CT. Went with Comcast/Xfinity for Cable/Internet service, but did not want to rent their equipment. Already had a Netgear Nighthawk 1900 router (also purchased from Best Buy), but needed a modem. Went with the Arris Surfboard SB6183 and could not be more pleased. Set up was easy and the modem has worked flawlessly.

Works like a charm
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently moved and thought I would give the Netgear Cable/Modem Router a try. Had a few issues so I returned it and purchased this Modem. I found it works much better to seperate the two. I use a Netgear R7000 Router with the Arris Motorola Modem. In my previous residence I had a Motorola Surboard SBG6580 that lasted over two years until I moved an bought a faster one. Could not be happier with this modem and the speeds we receive from TimeWarner Cable.

Two week of usage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using the modem for two weeks now and its working flawlessly. I replaced this with my older model of same brand which i had it for more than four years, but it was acting up; so i decided to buy the new one. It's easily to install. Just contact your local servcie provider, they will walk you thorugh the steps, and you're done I have TimeWarner cable (Spectrum), and it's perfect for that.

Improved my Comcast Speed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this version to replace a Motorola 6121 DOCSIS 3.0 that was working fine. But after doing some research about the speed and performance improvements, it was clear that utilizing the 16 download channels would result in better performance for HD streaming and movie downloads. As soon as it was installed and authorized by Comcast, I did a speed test and went from 120 download speed to about 180Mbps. I haven't looked back. Great product.

Works with Xfinity
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this to avoid the Comcast/Xfinity modem lease option. This is a very fast modem (doesn't hurt that I have 105 mbs service), and was plug and play. HIghly recommended you purchase some kind of Surfboard series modem if you are paying a monthly lease fee. It pays for itself very quickly.

Excellent Modem
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Modem solved the issue I was experiencing with my ISP modem I was supplied for $10/ month. I can actually utilize the internet speed I’m paying for. Best investment for $60 I contacted my ISP, let them know the modem I had in mind and I was told this one is compatible. And it definitely is. Highly recommend this product

Awesome speed boost!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already had a Motorola SB6121 cable modem... It worked fine... However, one problem we've always had with Time Warner in our area is hiccupping during peak times... Too much congestion in our neighborhood... One day I saw a sale on the SB6141, and I wondered what the difference could be... Motorola makes 3 cable modem models - the SB6121, SB6141 and the SB6183... The difference between them is the channels they can handle upstream and downstream... SB6121 - 4x4 (4 down, 4 up) SB6141 - 8x4 (8 down, 4 up) SB6183 - 16x4 (16 down, 4 up) To understand your compatibility you would need to know what your ISP supports in your area... I called Time Warner and after being passed thru a few people who didn't know what I was asking about I finally got to a knowledgeable tech support person who confirmed they were running 16x16 in my area... So, I picked up an SB6183 locally and headed home... I did a speed test before switching the routers... On my SB6121 I was pulling 28Mbps... After installing the SB6183 I jumped to about 34Mbps... All thru having access to all available channels to assure my bandwidth... We have not had any stuttering issues since... If your local ISP supports 16 downstream channels I would highly recommend upgrading to the SB6183...
