    I had a lesser model with 17 units in my house needing WiFi. I had drop internet and slow issues. My wife would lose college homework. My kids both have iPads. Two XBOX ONE, 4 cable boxes that require internet. Not to mention all the cell phones. We haven’t experienced ANY lag in video downloads. No streaming freezes, not one issue. I’m extremely happy with the purchase. Don’t do like I did and go through two lesser models and waste money. I wish I had went big the first time.

    Great product. My router died and after a lot of research I decided upon the Arris Surfboard because of it's reviews, price, and it works with Xfinity wifi. Easy set up and works well.

    Getting Faster Speeds Than Cheap Spectrum Modem

    Works great. Was a breeze to setup with Spectrum. Getting slightly faster speeds. Also, having your own modem allows you to see connection status. The modem made me realize I needed a forward path attenuator to bring my downstream power levels down.

    replaced a Arris cable/modem model. had to buy a separate router. This model works only for a cable connection but gives you the opportunity to also increase your speeds to gigabit could not do that with previous version. you will need a separate Router. Easy to setup. you will need to notify your ISP so they can connect properly after you setup which requires powering on and connecting a computer. recommend via lan cable first or to a desk top.

    Our previous version of the Arris but the dust one day and so, it was time to upgrade. We currently don’t have gigabit service, but it is currently being wired on our street, so we’ve gotten this fella here and it’s worked like a charm. No issues whatsoever.

    When I first connected this it was buffering a lot. 10 minutes or so. So I contacted Arris support chat. Fast response. We checked the settings. All where fine. So I unplugged modem and router. Waited a minute modem the router plugged in. That did it.. this thing is screaming fast. 4 simultaneous 4K TVs running in 4K without a hitch. I pay for 400mbs. 459mps. Is what I get now. Recommend highly.
