This product is simply amazing. There is no WiFi paired with it but that’s why I got it.
Couple this with google WiFi mesh system and I doubled my download speeds with paying for the extra high bandwidth.

Works like a gem. Got rid of the comcast box that didn't work well and replaced it with this...reaches all over the house, even with five people working on computers at the same time.

I had a good modem, but when the cable company came out to install my service they told me that I would need a new modem to receive the speed that I was paying for. So I went out and picked this up. Does everything it is supposed to.

Recently changed many plugs, switches etc to Smart devices and needed a new Modem to handle the upgrades. So far after a couple of months, this one has been flawless. Would highly recommend for such usage.

I upgrade to this Modem from my ISP provide Modem and it made a big improvement. I am paying for the max that Cox current offers 300megs and I am consistently averaging 335megs and I also notice a huge improvement on all my 20+ wifi connected devices.

Don’t rent Suddenlink’s equipment, purchase your own. So far so good, we switched internet providers and I decided to purchase my own equipment. It’s been working without issues. Plus, it was super easy to install!

I purchased an Orbi mesh wifi system that required a modem. Selected this one based on good reviews and it was guaranteed to work with wifi/cable provider. Got me out of the monthly rental to the cable company and upgraded our system.

Super easy set up, no issues (yet). Keep in mind if you're buying it that there is only only one ethernet port, so if you want anything hardwired your router will need to have extra ports

My family and I were tired of issues with streaming. We couldn't even watch videos on our phones without freezing or slow downloads. After finally biting the bullet and buying a new router we had instant improvement and we are now a happy family.

I recently got service w/XFinity on a 400mb connection and needed a modem that could handle it easily. After reading reviews, I settled on this Arris model. So far, zero dropouts and speed has been constant and consistent.

While getting my CompTIA Certification, I decided to upgrade my cable modem. My research led me to to this modem with 32 downstream channels and 8 upstream channels. It has up to 1.4 Gbps download speed and is my choice for gaming and smart TVs.

Replace Xfinity cable modem $9.95 a month with this beauty which I paid $90 for and I own it. Great speed even with many wifi devices. And it will pay for itself in 9 months and no more monthly rental charges from xfinity

My internet was 1gig. The salesman gave me this. Once I got home, I realized this doesn't support 1gig. I needed the 3.1 . I did however use it at one of my other properties and works great and fast!. Didn't regret the purchase.

I had an older version of this modem which worked great, however it could not handle the faster internet speeds offered by WOW so I had to upgrade to this one in order to go to the 300mbps speeds. It will handle up to WOWs 500mbps tier. Works great.

I decided to buy a modem to get out paying 10.00 a month to rent one from my Internet provider. The sales person was so helpful explaining the pros and cons of this modem. We purchased about two weeks and I love it. It was very easy to install as well.

I dropped my cable and phone and finally left with just internet and no longer need to rent a modem. Best decision I made with getting this modem it was more than fast enough for what I need. When it's time to upgrade I will get the same brand.
