    It's a solid modem. The only significant thing I can say is that the firmware updates automatically which is nice.

    A little on the high end but if you have cable internet and want to stop renting a modem this is the one to get.

    Worked fine while it lasted. Barely lasted a year. Range was not great either. No Lag when streaming. It was cheap so I got what I paid for.

    Got this modem to replace an old one once I upgraded my internet speeds. Only negative is being informed of the multiple Ethernet ports, however, the additional one can’t be used.

    Only advise - make sure your internet provider is properly working. If that works - then the Arris SUrfBoasrd is a breeze to install.

    Very good buy. It has worked out very well so far. Only issue is with the range. Does not go as far as the Comcast rental one.

    Doesnt work. All the LED's light up like its doing something, and while yes it does connect, but at 56K modem speeds. The app is largely useless. And there is no way to connect to this modem via a browser. I am really tired of these companies going out of their way, to make stuff more difficult to use. A simple web interface worked great for 20 years, but now your required to have a smart phone to use a $180 modem?! No thanks.

    We use this modem a lot. We use our own routers and don't need a combo unit. Works great.
