Easy to install
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do have heavy gamers in the house and they complain of lag during the game. I have to often reboot this router at least once a week to get the speed back. It works well for my home office though so if your using for that then it should be fine.

BEWARE OF THIS MODEM!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This modem contains the PUMA 6 chipset which has REALLY bad latency issues. I've called Arris about this issue and they stated that an software update was provided to Comcast in august 2019, but that did not resolve the issue! after speaking with the Arris rep, his resolution was to replace my sb6190 with a "new" sb6190 with the same chipset. I have several years in IT networking and this is a constant headache. if you are a fan of Arris you should go with the SB6183 or the sb8200 both contain a Broadcom BCM3390 chipset.

So far... so great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great if your house hold has 2 to 3 TV's. If you are going to run (3) or more TV's at the same time, plus gaming computers, we recommend the next level up.

Took way too long to set up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After I purchased the modem and a separate router, I took both the the Verizon store next door to get them "linked" to my account and to make sure they would work. Took them home, plugged them in and started with the modem... all kinds of problems, no connection. Ended up calling Arris Tech Support and spent 49 min with a young lady. She walked me through several different screens and finally wanted to change me $19.99 to remotely connect to my PC to do the work herself. I said no and call Comcast. He spent 14 min TOTAL and had me up and running. System works perfect now but it should not be that much trouble to setup and definately not $20 for tech support for a product less than an hour old.

Modem works
