    Absolutely horrible! Constantly disconnecting and resetting. Maybe we received a bad modem but Arris continued to say there was nothing wrong with it. Arris customer service was subpar and blamed the problems on our ISP. After multiple ISP troubleshooting visits with no issues on our end or the ISP, we returned this and purchased the Netgear CM1000 and never had another issue!

    Do your research know what you want before buying. They want to make a sale. Take advantage of their interest free credit card offer.

    Don’t waste your time with this modem. After trying 2 with the same results in both, I went to NETGEAR and all was good. Of course I spent 2+ hours on calls with Arris tech support, and the end result was Arris telling me it was my service provider. My provider checked and all was good. Once I returned the SB8200 and switched to NETGEAR, amazingly my problems disappeared.

    Worked well until it didnt. Purchased 8/22 and died 12/22. Nice eh? - Support is pathetic at best. So I took advantage of the Best Buy Trade-In and got $27 off the replacement from Netgear (CM1200). Stay away from this unreliable modem. Others have reported that it works well until it just doesn't..

    It essentially crapped out last week. Kept dropping packets. Replaced it with a Netgear CM1000/DOCSIS 3.1 - seems to work well.

    Bought this modem 3 months ago and today, it completely stopped working. It still connects to the internet but neither of the 2 Ethernet ports will communicate with the router. Tried multiple cables and connecting it directly to various computers. Still nothing. Very disappointing that something so pricey would stop working so soon.

    Not a bad modem however I thought it had built in WiFi and it doesn’t. It also only has two Ethernet hookups.
