Hooked it up with no issues. I am now able to stream all my tv. Had the same modem before with less features, and never had a problem with it.

I upgraded my connection to 400Mbps service and needed a faster modem to support. Set up was easy and I am getting consistent speed.

Got it running in minutes. worked GREAT with our new Netgear router. solved all our cox cable connectivity issues. But 1 week after installing, it started to have issues receiving Cox signal. after another week of dealing with Cox (most techs are LAME, however FINALLY got a good one after multiple calls and hours wasted) and issue was solved. Cox somehow got a bad line code on their end which caused communication issues with the modem. A tech did a little reprogramming and Voila! modem was back to working GREAT. very high speed. has worked great since that initial problem. Which was NOT due to the modem :)

Honestly, SURFboard modems never fail to impress. I upgraded from a SURFboard 16 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0 to this SURFboard 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.0. I have purchased several SURFboard modems for myself and family and not a single one has ever failed on me. I upgraded to the 32x8 because I live in a condominium and more downstream lanes can help improve your overall connection quality. ALWAYS remember to restart or power cycle your modem periodically. Once a month is recommended.

The Tesla of Modems

I bought this modem to replace my older Netgear. My old modem was rocking about 75 mbps which I thought was pretty good. After I swapped it out for this guy it jumped to 175 mbps! Obviously results may vary depending on your location but this thing is a beast. Very happy with the purchase. If you rent a modem from Comcast or whomever, buy this modem and stop paying a monthly fee. It pays for itself after the first year or so. There are cheaper versions of this modem too, but as Comcast increases their speeds you want to be able to take advantage and the lower cost versions may not be able to. My 2 cents.

Very good product. using is as a replacement for my xfinity modem. saving on rental modem. it gives a return on investment within a year. do think about it if your paying for rental modem. (note use it only if your using internet service) not TV or phone from your service provider as I am not sure will this support it or not. Speed check shows no drops compared to rental modem. Also, do register the modem with the provider while setting it up initially.

Easy hook up with Comcast. Comcasts system recognized the modem right away with no problems at all. Fast. Paired with a Night Hawk router. The end result is speed.
