    Very nice modem, works perfectly without any issue. Highly recommended for our friends and our families, also was recommended by the Comcast technician whose came to check what happened why our internet did not work and also was recommended by the sale associated at Best Buy in Maple Grove. So many recommendations for a nice modem with a nice price too.

    I had been meaning to research my modem I had been charged to rent each month, and I decided to go with this model. It's working great, outputting data to my router perfectly, and it was easy to set up. I've had this for about a month and I was very pleased. Now I can start savings money on my monthly bill!

    Improving the bottleneck

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

    When upgrading your internet access and wifi at your home, the first thing you need to think about is the modem. If the modem can't handle the MB/S being provided to you by your internet service provider, then your modem becomes a bottleneck that slows your MB/S down. Besides, most internet providers charge a monthly fee for providing a modem. By purchasing your own modem, you pay for the cost within about a year plus you get a better modem.

    Setup a bit confusing, but works great

    The setup instructions were oversimplified, as the color combinations for the indicator lights shown in the instructions didn't match what came up on my unit. I had to call both ARRIS and my ISP to get everything to work; the former to make sure that the light combinations were OK, and the latter to register my device so that they would send the internet signal to it. After spending much time on hold on the phone and getting to the answers for my questions, the device works exactly as promised so far. I'm using it as a base for a Google Wifi mesh system and it's going great.

    Had one that worked great, but it was destroyed in a lightning strike, so I purchased the identical replacement (this one), and it works great just like the one I replaced.

    replacement cable modem

    Bought this to replace a defunct cable modem. Easy plug and play. Only issue is manual described a light color configuration that the unit didn't display, called customer service and was told the manual was wrong and the colors I was seeing were correct- white, blue, blue, white. Good customer service. I just had to call my cable internet provider and give them the appropriate data and I was up and running.

    Highly recommend this Modem. The improvement over cable company provided modems is significant. At $90 it's a good deal for a 32X8 channels and when it's on sale it's a fantastic deal. The only compliant I have is that the lights on the front are incredibly bright. But that's easily fixed with some masking tape.

    Works well with XFinity 150Mbps service. Stock firmware should immediately be upgraded to take advantage of full speed and stability. Once upgraded, it performs very well.
