So far so good but i do have 1 issue. I'm not sure if it's on the Comcast end or modem. What happens is that when all the light green it's running at older 3.0. When all the light are Blue then it's running at the newer 3.1 "speeds". To be honest I don't see a performance difference between them both. And I'm not sure why or how it's changes. (I have the 400-450 mbs download and 12 upload on average.). Other then that I haven't noticed too many issues. Might not be a great if you have full gig internet plan. But again I also don't know if it's modem or Comcast.

It’s a great modem for 1 gig, but just not strong enough and it stays hot even just sitting out in the open.

I had to upgrade my cable modem as the previous surfboard would not have given me the speeds I had just switched to with Comcast.
I previously had 125 mbps and upgraded to 500 mbps. The old cable modem would have capped the speed at not much more than 150.
This is a similar model to the last one but obviously can handle DOCSIS 3.1 (faster speeds). It is a similar design and a bit smaller as I had to move one of the screws on the wall, where I hang my cable modem.
It was easy to set up and has given me the full speed, as promised by Comcast.
I have nothing to criticize on this as it does exactly what I want and was probably the easiest part to upgrade in the whole process of changing speeds.
I don't notice it running hot but it sits on a wall behind a chest of drawers and is largely forgotten about. It has been bullet proof and not needed any type or reset since it was installed, back in November 2019. The wi-fi routers I use with it took about a month to get installed properly but this cable modem has been great and I definitely recommend it if you subscribe to any speeds above 150 mbps.
