    I'm not a network expert, and my speed issues could be the router / placement as well, but after purchasing this and a Linksys router, my TWC 300MBPS internet is slower than with the leased equipment. :(

    Bought to replace the same thing we already had. Tried the new one and it didn’t work any better than the old one so we ended up returning.

    I have had nothing but problems with this modem. Half the sites we try to visit come back with "The connection for this site is not secure..." If you search for a solution to this, you will find that it is a common problem that may have cumbersome workarounds, but I have chosen to buy a new modem from Nighthawk. I will never purchase an ARRIS product again.

    While i'm sure this is a great product, but only having one RJ45 port just didn't cut it ,,, the sales person didn't really listened to what my home setup was. Had to return it...

    I returned this Docsis modem 3.0 for the 3.1 modem. The 3.0 model does not have enough ports for my needs. The 3.1 Surboard is great and has the extra ports needed for extra connection.

    Bought this modem after my Motorola died after 6.5 years. My job became work-from-home full-time due to Covid 19. After about one month, it wouldn’t keep me online consistently. I would get kicked off my work VPN about 4 to 5 times a day. Called Comcast, they would send reboot signals and still didn’t help. The modem would just reboot itself in the middle of the day often as well. I read online that this modem was one of several affected by a defective Puma Intel chip: https://www.classactionlawyers.com/puma6 Thankful this happened early and I was able to return it. Because my experience with this modem was so bad, I decided to switch companies and try my luck with Netgear. Not sure why this model is still being sold if so many people are reporting consistency issues with it. Definitely would stay away if need reliable internet for work.

    Not the best and didn't think it was going to be. Actually the internet provider could not get it to work right so I have just kept it for a backup in another location

    Our local Xfinity internet has changed to DOCIS 3.1. This modem is designed for DOCIS 3.0. The package and Best Buy indicated that it is compatible with Xfinity. Our speeds were 30 mbps, the new modem (rented from xfinity) gets us up to 140 mbps. No more lagging while playing video games!
