    I received notification from my cable company that I needed an updated modem. I had no idea what I needed but the Best Buy associate was very helpful in picking out this model.

    Just plug in all the necessary wiring and it boosts Wi- Fi connection. Just what I needed since starting to work from home.

    Upgraded from the SB6141. My ISP updated its network and the 6141 was no longer compatible, so in comes the SB6183, Nice little workhorse pays for itself in the long run

    Not sure if I purchased the right model for the performance I’m looking for. It works but I would like to see a higher grade model to compare.

    I purchased an SB6183 cable modem as an upgrade from an SB6121. Both products work flawlessly, but now with the SB6183, I have 16 bonded channels all with excellent S/N ratios.

    First one comcast was unable to get a Ip address from modem. I returned it for a new one and has worked fine since. Nice not to have to pay 10 dollar lease fee from Comcast

    I have been a long time Comcast Customer and finally decided that the modem rental was not offering me any value. I bought my own, I save money, and I couldn't be happier.

    Mediacom gives you a terrible router. I upgraded to this one and my life is so much better. Glad that the store associate recommended this, very helpful.

    I bought to replace the one my cable company gave to me. Now we aren’t getting charged a monthly fee. Since we switched the network feels a lot faster now.

    From the reviews I read, I would definitely recommend this to a friend. Unfortunately I had to return mine because I also needed a router. This brand is excellent though.

    With 16 channels down, this modem does not miss many beats. Less data loss, with much better signal level readings than the 6141. Not much data download improvement however.

    I thought I had to purchase the more expensive upgrade but this was perfect for the regular internet usage for my small family. This is Xfinity compliant and compatible.

    Our provider decided to double the monthly rental cost of the modem so buying this guy made perfect sense. Connections have been great.

    needed to replace my 6120 modem as it was end of life. since the 6183 had 16*4 channels it should last . Best Buy price matched it to Amazon which was 40 dollars cheaper.
