I purchased this modem to replace 2 in 1 modem/router. Bought a tplink router (from other vendor) to go with modem. My previous modem/router was constantly dropping signal. Had to restart almost every day. So far I haven’t had to restart the modem. Has run flawlessly since I turned it on.
Very pleased with preformence.

I bought a couple of modems at best buy but none of them gabe me the speeds of the proper signal. I was referred to this modem by a geek squad member. Its awesome. It was easy to set up and it sends fast signals to my router.

This is one of the best modems in the market. To replace the one that you rent is one of the best option. Super high speed and 16 channels thats going to cover every single device at home. This modem doesn't have phone line connection!

I decided to purchase my own router when I realized I was being charged $10 a month by my cable company for the last 6 years!! Set up was easy, everything is running smoothly and it will have paid for itself in no time!

This was a replacement for my old one that was requiring too many reboots. This one has been installed about a month, not a reboot yet. Seems to work great. Reasonably priced too.

This Surfboard 600 was easy to set up, and it improved the speed of my connection by 50 percent. Just what we needed to watch streaming TV on our Roku. (But why was the nickname "NoMoreApple" assigned to me? I like Apple products!)

We have this modem in two locations and both are very reliable. They have been online since purchase with no problems. One is on Comcast service and the other is on Cox. No problems with either company getting connected.

I previously had the SB6121 but time warner would not provision it to my upgraded speed of 200mbps because of the older modem. I bought this, connected once I got home, gave time warner a call, and everything is good to go! Very stable.

I just got 200Mbps down and needed a router that could handle that much speed. This router handles that much speed without even breaking a sweat. If you need a router to handle high speed internet to your house, this is your router.

Plugged it up and it was ready to go. Tried using my cable companies automatic registration of the modem via their webpage but it wouldn't work. Likely will have to call and talk to one of their reps to get it registered if you pick this up. No issues thus far, working great.

I had to call Xfinity to "whitelist" my modem by stating my modem's serial # so I don't have to pay them $10/month to rent the modem.
Other than that, the product works well and I am future proofing myself for a few years

Very easy to setup and use. Didn’t want to pay Comcast monthly fees for equipment so I bought this one and it works great. The duo modem and router was a good deal.

I was looking for a way to save on my internet charges and used to have a Motorola. I'm very happy with this modems performance and was easy to connect it to my Comcast account.

Research showed this to be a top performer, but I had to return it based on the fact that the Comcast package that Comcast sold me included the triple play [voice ] too, which I really didnt want, but it 'came' with it.
So since I was paying for a landline, this modem doesnt have the port needed for that, so it had to be returned.

Bought the SB6183 to replace the SB6141. So far connection has been very stable, no unexpected reboots, and speeds have been on or higher than monthly service plan subscription.
