    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.

    We came home from our vacation and found out that our internet had been off for several days. I called Mediacom and had them ping my modem, and it showed as connected from their end, but my router showed no internet. For whatever reason, it appeared that the modem was connected, but no signal was coming from its ethernet connection to the router. I tried both replacing the cable, and then tried to connect directly to the modem with two different laptops. No signal, no soap. I found this modem on BestBuy, but the box and description did not specifically guarantee it would work with Mediacom, but was compatible with most cable systems. I hooked up the modem and use used the Arris app to configure it. As instructed by the App, I had to call Mediacom to get the modem provisioned and configured, but the call did not take long, and Mediacom showed me as connected. I still had to complete the steps required by the modem and go all the way through and complete its setup process, but when I did, I was connected. Everything has worked perfectly since and with the DOCSIS 3.1 modem, I am getting the full benefit of my Gigabit internet service.

    Great Product. This product is slim which if your like me then the space where you put your internet materials is limited. Additionally, while using this modem I received lighting quick speeds. I additionally like the 2 Ethernet ports in the back (make sure to check with your ISP if you pay for more than one public IP address) this gave me flexibility in my home networking needs. For this price, this modem cannot be beaten. It also one of the most accepted modems which allows flexibility in ISP providers.
