if you're tired of leasing one from your ISP, this cable modem will suit as a great replacement to own. Docsis 3.0 will ensure that your high up and down streams are supported.

We decided to upgrade our internet speed and needed a new modem to accommodate this. The Arris has done what we need it to and without breaking the bank.

In s year, modem charges are gone. This will increase my speed by giving me more “lanes” to access. ( ask the geeks; it’s how they helped me understand the benefit!)

Cheaper than renting the modem for a year, even with the Best Buy warranty. Just make sure your Internet provider is compatible

Solid Modem Delivers

This Arris modem worked absolutely fine for my son's studio apartment in northwest Arkansas with Cox Communications. I give ease of use a 4 because the technical resource at Cox had to do something on his end to activate the modem, telling me the Arris SURFboards during activation do a reset the other modems do not. But I have not had that problem with my own SURFboard in my city with my internet provider, so maybe this is a Cox-specific issue. Once activated properly, the modem has been steady and dependable.

ARRIS SURFboard / Transition to SMART TV

When we got a SMART TV in an area supported by Spectrum, I had to upgrade the old SURFboard to one that could handle streaming. The replacement was largely plug-and-play. The only issue involved the quality of the incoming coax from the outside pole, The new SURFboard had sufficient information for Spectrum to diagnose that the problem with speed was with the coax external to the house so they dispatched a technician to replace the cable at their expense. It was a single trip due partially to the capabilities of the SURFboard!

Bought this item so won't have to keep paying monthly equipment fee. Feel speedier than one the service provider provides.
If it can last 2 years, it will have paid for itself. Keep fingers crossed.
Bought extended warrantee thru BestBuy too.

Upgraded our 6 yes old Motorola modem to get more bonded channels and hopefully an improved connection. So far very pleased as it hasn’t needed to be reset.
