    Got this to use with mesh system. Don’t need an expensive unit to work with mesh. So far so good. Also is same brand my provider uses.

    Surfboard Modem

    This device corrected our service issues and seemed to increase throughput as the unit it was replacing was several years old. The only negative I have in regard to this model is that there are no mounting slots. So you have to place it on a shelf or use zip ties to hang it on a wall.

    Xfinity required a new modem in order to accommodate high speed internet service. I have yet to install this item, but since I purchased my first one at Best Buy, I'm sure it will be perfect.

    Lightning fast router and great ambient lighting. I wouldn't recommend for an open room due to its bright ambient lighting that may annoy you as you sleep. I have mine setup in my master closet.

    I got tired of paying Time Warner a rental fee on my modem so I decided to buy my own. This unit does a great job of supplying my wifi to my router. Have had no problems at all.

    Overall the modem works well and we haven’t had any issues after having it for about month. However, it has a huge bright light on it which can get super annoying while trying to sleep.

    After 5 years it was time to upgrade the modem. Router is next and by the time I need another upgrade, we all should be on fiber optics.

    I plugged in the right wires and cords, and it worked. I didn't have to call tech support. In fact, I didn't even read the instructions. Just looked at a diagram. Nice.
