Works great, and plenty fast for my purposes (mostly surfing the net). My ISP plan is for 75 mbps, and the SB6183 regularly gives me about 90 mbps. It is supposed to be good for up to 300 mbps, so I have headroom if I wish to move to a faster plan.

Works as described, seems to handle the traffic a little better than the old one. This replaces an older version of a Docsis 3.0 that was starting to fail after about 7 years.

Works great. I have mine paired with an eero system and it works flawlessly. Do note that the max download speed is just over 600mb/s, and now that cable and fiber companies are offering 1000mb/s, you're probably better off paying $10 more for the next model up from this one.

Bought this model to replace my cable modem which had an integrated WiFi router. Since I created my own Mesh network throughout my home, I didn’t want signals to clash. So I bought this as a simple modem to make my cable connection. Price was great. Why pay the cable company.

I love my new modem. I bought this because the modem and router that spectrum was providing did not work with their 400 speed. I couldn’t stand having 100 speed with teaching at home so I went and bought my own. I get such fast Internet now.

Purchased this modem to update/upgrade my older modem and this worked flawlessly with my Comcast service. Simple to get connected/activated after just a few minutes and has been working without issue since (Bonus: bumped up my internet speed from previous generation modem, which allowed 8x4 channel bonding)

I bought this based on positive reviews to replace my previous version of the same brand. I had it for years and it seems to have been hit by the electrical storm so I replaced it. I didn't see a better product available so I stayed with this one. I would recommend unplugging during storms with lightning to be on the safe side.
