I upgraded my modem from the Motorola 6141. I immediately saw a huge difference in performance. I work from home and a dependable connection is a must. This modem has exceeded my expectations.

Got it on short notice since wanted to build my own router combo. Working fine as a butter and no professional was needed for installation.

Yes there's a newer version of this that supports upto 500 or 600 mbps, but most people aren't paying for that anyways. This modem will be more than adequate for most people for a few years.

Just replaced an old motorola because internet speeds were not what I was being promised by my ISP. Setup was a breeze, but you need to make sure that you have a computer with Ethernet near the setup location in the house. My cable is in the basement and luckily had a laptop to bring down there.

Setup was simple, is well worth the money especially when you figure in the money your saving from not having to pay a monthly fee to your carrier for their modem. Is a lot faster too

Unplugged the modem I had been renting from my internet provider, plugged this in and called them to reset the service. Simple fast way to save money and improve service.

Already owned a dual band router but moved and was able to get Comcast internet. Needed a modem to handle it and this one does the job.

This network switch is great for those that don't want to fool around with settings. It's a plug in and walk away type device. Have 3 xbox ones running through it with no lag issues.

For those who want to achieve the highest speeds possible this is the best modem available. Noticeable difference upon replacing my previous one.
