Works just as it’s supposed to! Had no problem setting up with my ISP (Spectrum) and looking forward to being my own troubleshooter instead of relying on delayed repair people. I recommend!

Great modem. Preforms exactly like it should. What else can you say about a modem? Hook it up, call your ISP so they can register it in their system, and youre up and going.

Why Rent a Modem from COX

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have never rented modems and won't start anytime soon. This is the 3rd Modem I have purchased since moving to Oklahoma and each few years when I upgrade its worth it. Why would anyone rent a modem from the cable company. I always say you get what you pay for.

Nice modem but a little disappointed with the 2 ethernet ports. Apparently you need two IP addresses to use both ports but there is nothing in the instructions stating that fact. Defeated the purposes of buying this modem. There was a cheaper modem with 1 port and the same specs.

I upgraded to this modem from a previous Arris modem that was two years old. I don’t have anything special to write other than it works & it works well. Recommended.

It's good so far but I'm still testing the speed. I hope it will provide the Internet speed provided by my ISP.

Yea this is a great modem. However, to get your faster speeds, my son had told me he had to turn off the “traffic meter” on our router, so if you are not getting the speed you pay for look into doing that.

The modem is good, but more than I need. This was the only one they had to replace my defective one and I was forced to pay the difference. Very frustrating.

The router is extremely quick and capable of handling extreme speeds, problem is here in Austin, all of the cable service providers upload is rediculously slow, 25MB why bother spending the money when they give you one for free.

Best modem for gigabit

Had to upgrade modem due to new speed I am getting. I use this on Comcast with my Gigabit service. This modem is by far the best. Provides everything I need speed wise. I have it connected to my Linksys Velop system for wifi needs. Can't ask for a better set up!
