    Recently upgrade to the gigablast from Cox. Unfortunately, had to upgrade my modem to the 3.1. I was really happy with my previous 3.0 Arris that I purchased this model. Easy to install, set up, and use. So far no troubles and I am happy with the product and the 2 etherports come in handy for the PS4 and Apple TV!

    Easy set up and integration with both our ISP and smart home set up. Recommended to us as the best for a integrated house and seems to be exactly that. More expensive than many modems on the market, but seems like you get what you pay for in this case.

    Good Cable Modem

    If you want to have a separate unit for cable modem instead of a cable modem/router, this is a very good choice. Very easy to set up and have had no drops. My previous Surfboard Cable Modem/Router would drop the signal periodically. This unit is much smaller and does not seem to run as hot as the larger unit did.

    I bought this to replace the modem I have been renting from my internet provider and couldn't be happier. Great product and highly recommended if you need consistent connectivity and want to save money in the long run. Great return on investment by not having to pay a monthly rental fee to cash hungry internet providers!

    Great modem, does it job and hasn't overheated on me. I wish it had some settings you could change, and a better login system, but those are just preferences. Otherwise a great product and worth the cost.

    Got the exact same Arris modem from our internet provider - different model name instead of surfboard. These modems give the speed and bandwidth needed for 50 plus ioT devices - just be sure the router you use is too with multiple streams that allow multiple devices to share simultaneously.

    Arlo produces quality security camera systems that I have used for over five years. And I've purchased each system from Best Buy because the women and men in the Blue Shirts are knowledgeable and honest when I've asked questions about a product that I couldn't get answered online.

    I have heard a lot of bad reviews on the SB8200 modem and some good. I trust the Arris Surfboard brand and haven't had any issues on my prior Arris SB6141 modem and have had no issues to date on my SB8200 to date works great. I had to upgrade when my cable speeds increased. My only suggestion would be to be able to turn off the status lighting on the modem.
