    A very good modem for everyday residential use. Call your cable company and give them the serial number, plug it in and you're ready to go.

    Works fine. I just wish it had more ports in the back to plug into. Only has 1 port. Saves me money on renting one from my cable company.

    I bought this router then found it for a lower price elsewhere. It does work well. The only thing I would change is adding a port to plug my fax line into.

    DO NOT BUY ARRIS MODEM - Drops internet connection

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We bought the Arris SB6190 modem from Bestbuy on Feb 6, 2023. This is by far the WORST modem that we have bought. For 30 days since we installed this modem, there is frequent (daily) dropped internet connection. Working with Xfinity and the model manufacturer has been exhausting, and finally, we figured that the modem is defective. We could not return/exchange at BestBuy because of the 15-day policy. So, reached out to the manufacturer for refund of the defective product. The manufacturer, Arris / CommScope does not have a refund policy has the worst replacement policy, which basically wanted to me either pay for shipping their defective modem OR leave without internet for 7–10 days. They do not have any policy of refund for a defective / bad designed modem. Arris / CommScope is not providing any better customer service and selling BAD modems that should be taken out of the marketplace. This is disappointing, and we have to now write off the modem investment and look for another modem (not Arris for sure!).
