Great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works great. It is faster than my old one. If still worked but I was replacing my router and it was several years old. This new one runs about 100 Mbps faster for downloads and 3 Mbps faster for uploads.

Great modem
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this when I upgraded my xfinity speed. My old Motorola modem wasn’t up to par on the higher speeds. This does the job and more. Definitely recommend. I have always bought Motorola modems and will continue to do so.

Internet

MB8611 - Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This modem has delivered the speed I expected and gives me band width to grow. Xfinity makes setup a little cumbersome because you have to contact them

Read review if you use Xfinity for internet
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good modem to use, but be aware that if you use Xfinity internet, there have been many documented instances where the modem will reset randomly. This is due to an issue with firmware updates between Comcast and Motorola. I had to replace my modem once under warranty due to the issue, but thankfully it isn't an issue any more

Great modem for gigablast speeds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I normally have used ARRIS modems but decided to try this one being the new S33 hasn't gone below $199. This newer version of the MB8600 has the 2.5 GB ethernet port which is similar to the S33. So far it has worked out wonderful with the Cox gigablast plan. The fastest speed has been from Microsoft downloading a windows 10 ISO in less then 1 minute. I averaged speeds of 100 MBps from their serve.

Modem kept dropping signal, had to replace
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to purchase a good modem that would future proof me for 5-10 years. The modem (MB8611) activated and speed test exceeded my previous well functioning modem (Arris/Motorola sb6121). However this modem (MB8611) keeps dropping signal on the upload side and cutting off internet for everyone at random times. sometimes minutes, hours, sometime days. I have a uptime kuma server that monitors when the internet goews out. I bought a Arris SB200 modem off a friend and and never dropped a connection for months at a time. i called motorola customer support but no one picks up, i have a 2 year support warrenty. its an expensive paperweight to me. Not sure is only mine is defective or if there are more. i had high hopes for this modem with premium price i paid for it. Should have gone with the Arris s33 instead.

Good Modem!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation was easy, and relatively seamless (see below). Speed was doubled very quickly. The only issue was activating the modem over the phone, as the representative stated the S/N I was giving them had already been activated. I assured them that I had just left Best Buy with the product 30 minutes prior. After 10 minutes it was finally ironed out. For this reason, the review only gets 4 stars.
