This modem has greatly enhanced and truly optimized performance to an older HP desk top through the requirements of the internet provider which has also affected my laptop & phone via router.

Bought this to use with Xfinity in Houston and have had zero issues to date with very fast internet speeds! Much better than paying a monthly fee to rent through Xfinity.

Had to get new modem to "work" with Comcast/Xfinity. This is up to their standards for a modem, and it works very well for what it's suppose to do.

I'm an avid network and IT person. I don't like having to pay for renting a modem from Time Warner Cable/Spectrum if I don't have to. This modem works really well in conjunction with my Netgear router and allows for me to fully utilize my 100Mbps/10Mbps Internet speeds.

I wanted something that could handle future configurations from my cable co. This product says it will handle it, like IPV6 protocol. I have had no problems with it since I first hook up. Very fast.

In about a month and half since I purchased this modem, except rebooting twice on its own, the modem is working without any issues. I cannot say for sure whether reboot was forced by internet service interruption or due to the modem issue. The setup was very easy was completed in less than 5 min.

I was tired of paying TWC 8 dollars a month between rent and "taxes".
The unit was easy to set up... even though TWC swore there was an outage when in fact I just needed to provide the MAC and SN.

This thing works great. I shopped around for awhile after burning through an expensive router/modem combo. This is a good value and is fast. Works great with Comcast.

Comcast rented router/modem kept dropping signals. The purchased ARRIS modem and Netgear router work --- Not one dropped signal while watching Netflix or Amazon Prime movies.

Works on Cox 300Mbps. Consider buying the next model up to really be ready for the next big speed increase. Currently there are 24 channel modems compatible with Cox. But this is very stable.
