Needed to replace my 10 year old cable modem and a salesman at best buy told me the Arris 8200 Surfboard was one of the best and would work perfectly for my needs. It was extremely easy to hook up, took me no time at all and so far it works great. What's not to like?

Keeps my speeds near the 1 gig I pay for. I was able to get this modem up and going with it minutes. Ports are easy to view. It has a small footprint. Works well with Xfinity

Faster than my old SB6190. Getting upwards of 700 Mpbs. Surfboard app doesn't support this device. Redirected to download ARRIS Surfboard Manager which is only available for older Android devices. Ended up having to call Comcast which got me up and running about 20 minutes. You can also use the Xfinity app. All my WIFI devices now up to speed.

I had an older model Arris and upgraded to this model and couldn't be happier. It has increased both download and upload speeds and added a huge boost while gaming online with both PC and Xbox.

Does everything automatically after plugging and setting up our Orbi router. I get about 250+ gbps from spectrum so connectivity is good. However I do have to unplug and replug whenever our Internet service provider is having problems. It does the job well.

Bought to replace my docis 3.0 modem that was dropping connection to Cox daily.
Fix the issue and great speed improvements. Kind of bogus that Cox forced this even though my previous modem was certified by cox. At least I didn't have to buy or rent from them too.

Worth the Upgrade

Two weeks ago I 'upgraded' our Xfinity download speed to 600 MPs with 1-year contract to keep the rising cost of the connection affordable. Our old Arris SB6190 has worked flawlessly for years at lower download speeds. Since the speed was increased the download speed varied a lot but mostly hung around 105 MPs. As soon as I connected the SB8200 and activated it through Xfinity's online portal we started consistently seeing the speed we're paying for.

Slim but mighty. I have Comcast Blast internet which is advertised at 300mbps and since I got my new Modem I average 353mbps. Great buy.

I was skeptical if this will work with optimum as the list they provide on their site is for old Models, did try one of those but that kept rebooting. This works well and I am getting speed that I am paying for. This boots very fast compared to other modems.

Purchased this router to change my xfinity router. My xfinity router always cut wifi and sometimes internet. I upgraded my internet speed already but still has the issue. So i made a research and came out i can get my own router and add a wifi beacon. Never have any issue since then.
