    Excellent purchase. This was one of the models on my cable providers list and they activated it and updated without problems. If you have bright lights in the room, it is difficult to see the lights on the modem. I would recommend that you turn of the lights in the room to view the modem lights.

    I’ve had SB6190 for the past 4 years with Cox paired with Asus AC1900 with No issues! I upgraded to cox Gigablast and decided to purchase this modem along with a Netgear nighthawk AC2400. I’ve had nothing but issues, this modem would get very hot and would reboot automatically about 4 times daily! I’ve called Cox and did everything possible but still the problem continued. I returned my 1st modem in exchange for another one hoping I just had a buggy modem. I was wrong.. had the same issues. I ended up getting a Netgear CM1000 and haven’t had any issues with rebooting, everything is working as it should. I really wanted to like the SB8200 since I’ve had such a good experience in the past but ended up disappointed. Hopefully they will fix the bugs with a software update.

    A representative at Xfinity had recommended that we purchase our own modem so we could save on our monthly bill. What price she told me was pretty far off and also did not mention that we would also need a router. So instead of $50-$60 it cost about $240 but at lease now won't need to keep renting a modem every month from Xfinity.
