    Got this quickly, right before quarantine. It works, but I constantly have to reset it. I would not recommend this one.

    Contrary to the box listing, this product does NOT activate with Spectrum service. Spectrum tech was at my home for 5 hours trying to authorize it for service. He ended up calling another tech who informed him that Arris does not work with Spectrum, so he used a Spectrum modem on my setup. I am very tech savvy and have has similar experiences with other Arris products (not user friendly).

    We bought this to increase our wi-fi usage on multiple devices and it was no better than the old one we had from Comcast that was over 5 years old.

    Bad Modem

    In Nov. 2017 we had dealt with problems with our Cable modem (Cox) for so long we decided to purchase our own, and was advised to get the ARRIS SB6190 Modem. After numerous disconnects with this modem, it turned out that there was a law suit that was against ARRIS in April of 2017 for the same issues. Anyway we eventually got rid of it.

    Barely lasted a year. Completely went out. I tried plugging it into other outlets that work (things previously plugged into them turned on). And nothing. No power to it at all.

    We returned this router due to limitations with the size of our home. It did not provide enough coverage for a basement home.

    After less than 2 months the item Stopped working. And who would think about getting a protection plan for an item that should work for at least 4 years, as stated by Best Buy employee. Very disappointed!
