    I was initially seeking a Netgear product, but as that brand was out of stock for the model I needed I decided to try the Arris. I couldn't be more pleased. Reliable and works great. Would purchase again.

    This product along with other modems with Intel's Puma 6 Chipset is defective and under lawsuit. Arris says they're waiting for Intel for a firmware update, Intel says the release is done through ISP and my ISP Cogeco Communications (Atlantic Broadband) Internet support has no info for a release and also has equipment with Puma 6 Chipset. Problems with high latency, frequent disconnections, lost packets, and unusual behavior with gaming.

    This has been a great router for me so far as I already had a tri-band high end gaming router. As it supports both phone and data and I own my own modem I am saving about $14.00 a month and this will pay for itself shortly. Others have complained about it losing signal however I have not seen this happen but 1 time in the few months I have owned it and that was during the time everyone was working from home so can’t say it was the modems fault. Even the Xfinity tech that came to my house for another issue said this modem was more stable than their own XFi modems that they rent and for a lower net cost over time.

    I originally was renting a modem from Comcast and having a terrible time getting any upload speeds over 20. After doing some research online I found this product and I really like it. Speeds are terrific.

    I upgraded from my old surfboard modem (2 channel) to this one with 32 channels when i upgraded our internet signal. No more buffering on streaming shows - even with 2 tvs going, and 2 laptops gaming. Nice.

    Looking to cut the rental fees from your provider? This modem works better than any equipment I have rented from my provider. Saving about $10.00 per month, this will pay for itself in about 10 months.
