Great modem, increased my download and upload speed! Needed this modem to upgrade to higher speed internet and it’s worked out well! I need to upload high resolution files for work and so far it’s been super fast and just what was needed.

I work from home and have tried all 3 of Comcast’s “built for business” gateways (all of which are awful). There are only a few consumer grade modems that Comcast accepts on business Internet and this is one of them. Install took a few minutes and 10 mins on the phone with Comcast activated my modem. Fast and stable and I get full wire speed (150mbps on my plan) over WiFi.

Great performance. It runs a little hot but they finally got rid of the blinking light on the front panel. My Mediacom connection only allows 24 bundled channels down and 3 bundled up. The service tech said that was max. It would be nice to get the 32 down and 8 up that the modem supports.

I have 1GB speed being pumped to this from ISP. It goes from this modem to an Eero mesh device and from there into a Linksys SE3008 switch. Consistently getting 900MB+ speeds and I have many devices pulling on the feed. So, it works as advertised. Got this specifically because it could handle the throughput.

A near lightning strike seemed to fry my old modem, so I bought this modem and was up and running again (Comcast) in just a few hours. I never did a careful speed analysis with the old one, so I'm not sure this one is faster, but it seems to be. The bottom line is that it was a no muss, no fuss installation and my internet connection works very well.

I've used this and older versions of the Arris - Surfboard for years and have never had a problem with connections . The ONLY limitations on speed I've had were due to the Providers limitations.
For anyone that has a problem with speed , It's on your end and not the Modem.

Good product. Using it with Comcast. This is a replacement. First one was bought 5 years ago. It burnt out would be nice if it has a fan. I’ve actually bought a separate fan and it’s running cool. Very fast access.
