    Bought this item in conjunction with the nighthawk router. Very simple setup, have had no issues at all and well worth the cost vs saving the rental fee from the cable company.

    With all the we have using wifi, there is plenty of room to add even more and still have lots of speed. It does lack setup guide and you have to go on line to do what little set up there is.

    I was looking for a faster modem. I found it! exceeding the cable company's promise, it provides as close to instantaneous response as I can hope for. And so much cheaper than renting theirs!

    What is there to say? It's a mid priced modem and it works with my 100mb internet connection. Easy setup, just plug it in and call the internet company to provision it and that's it.

    This modem was really easy to setup and start using. I had to replace previous one because of lightning striking our house. I had my whole system burn up on my network.

    I have Comcast but didn't want to continue to rent my modem so I decided to buy my own instead. Very easy to setup, works great! Getting speeds higher than Comcast says my plan is at. Plan is at 75mbps and I am getting 90mbps. Unit does not have wi-fi which is fine since I got a new wi-fi router as well that's 5Ghz.

    The first unit I received failed to performed as expected. After spending 4+ hours with Time Warner to debug this modem, I replaced this unit with the same model modem. This replacement unit worked well with Time Warner's 300 Mbps service. No problem replacing unit at Best Buy. Deducted 1 star due to the failed unit.
