    I really can't provide a review based on it's performance because I never opened the box. I am sure this modem is excellent, but as a Spectrum Internet customer, they gave me one at no charge. I am finding the Spectrum modem to work extremely well so I returned the one I purchased from Best Buy.

    Love this product. Didn't lose any speed. Comcast has actually stepped up their game with their modems and routers. This was a no brainer though as it'll shave off the rental fee for their modem. It will pay for itself in no time.

    Needed DOCSIS3.0 Modem

    Purchased this Arris model because it was DOCSIS 3.0 compliant and was reasonably priced. My older, non 3.0 Arris modem is the subject to a class action suit in California, for a know bug which causes frequent reboots. Docsis 3.0 removes this issue.

    Comcast said, they no longer support Surfboard 5121 this replacement is on the list of supported devices so I ordered this one. The tech description matches the more expensive cable modems so cost and specs drove my purchase.

    I bought the modem and the night hawk x10 together I did a speed test both before and after. I gained on average with this combo of 10mb down load and 4mb upload. Much faster modem than what Spectrum’s gives you.

    I explained my problem to the salesperson and they gave me several options until we narrowed it down to this. It works like I was told it would and does exactly what I was told it do.

    My old Modem was making my connection to the internet hit or miss to say the least. I thought it was my computer or software. My E Mail kept locking down. I replaced the modem and a new Router and the problems have seem to go away. Also it has cut down on my calls to the Geek Squad.

    Replacement for Comcast/Xfinity Leased Modem

    I bought this for my Xfinity/Comcast broadband service as a replacement to the leased modem. It works just as well as the one I had been leasing and has been working fine so far. I have had this for about 2 months so far. Saves me money on my internet bill as I don't need to lease their huge modem this one is less than half the size.
