Some customers have noted concerns about heat, and a few have reported issues with the Ethernet port. However, the modem is generally well-received for providing fast connectivity.

    Why Rent from Your Provider?

    Easy installation. Readily provisioned by my local ISP. If this lasts half as long as my Netgear (which went bad after 9 years or so) I'll be very pleased.

    My service provider was taking half my bandwidth to run a hotspot in my house. I was forced to buy a modem they couldn't do that too. I actually get my 960Mbps download speeds now. I couldn't be happier

    I am currently subscribed with 150/20 and this modem is handling that just fine. In fact, since most devices are WiFi, the available throughput to any one device is a portion of that. I would have preferred this be available in black.

    Its a cable modem, it works, um not sure what else to review. Setup was easy with cox cable, DOCSIS 3.1 allowed me to get faster speeds when I upgraded my internet service.

    Have used two Arris modems in the past. Both were replaced because of failures, but not before several years of use. Wanted to upgrade to a DOCSIS 3.1 so Arris was my first choice. I was surprised that the power cord and adapter has been shortened since my last Arris purchase. About 10 inches shorter.

    I had to replace my modem during the COVID 19 "Stay at Home" time. I ordered online, picked it up from the store (delivered to the car) and installed. Everything as easy and my download speed is through the roof.

    Use This For Ultra High Speed Internet

    If your service provider delivers their signal through cable (Cox), then you should have this modem in your system. If you are running at higher speeds, this unit handles the signal being provided much better than the box you are charged for from Cox or any other cable internet service provider. Make sure you purchase a DOCSIS 3.1 modem and do not listen to anything a phone technician says or tries to talk you into... they all have no clue and are reading from a script and have never installed any equipment. Buy it from Best Buy and you will be ready for high speed.

    We bought this to replace the cable company modem when that one finally failed. This is working great so far and we have bought ARRIS products in the past with good results. Recommended.

    Xfinity was yelling at me to upgrade my modem so I could get max benefit from my cable internet service. So I did, and I outdid them one - this modem has DOCSYS 3.1 capability, and so far, Xfinity does not, so I am ahead of them by 0.1 versions!
