    Be warned that the 4 ports don’t all work

    Even though it’s highlighted as having 4 Ethernet ports, after you struggle with installation and getting it to work correctly, you’ll read the operations manual only to find that only one of the ports actually works. The best the tech support woman could offer when asked why, was ‘in case the first one doesn’t work, you have others you could use, and if the first 2 don’t work you can use the third, and so on’. It’s supposed to be for future functionality, but it’s beyond me why they would be marketing it as having 4 ports but not enabled to use as a simple switch. I finally bought another switch (another $15) to install right next to this and after literally hours of trying to get it working it’s functional.

    Replaced Comcast Modem

    We bought this modem to replace the Comcast Modem/router with Voice. Paying $11/mo didn’t seem to make sense when we could recoup our investment by purchasing our own modem. It is working well and I highly recommend for data & voice.

    Took the advice of my cousin and purchased this router and returned my Comcast router. Not only did I save myself the monthly fee, but my download speed was faster! And it still allows me to use Comcast land line phone service.

    Needed a router with a phone line connection. The traffic meter records your data usage on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. It would be nice if it broke it down by each user but maybe that will come with a later update.

    The modem works well with internet, but voice does not work. I called Xfinity and they said the voice will not work for this modem even though it’s advertised on the Xfinity website as voice compatible.

    I purchased this modem because Xfinity just upgraded my plan, adding the voice capabilities. This modem has a very decent speed & telephony features. The price is just average, I'm not consider it very cheap.

    Product works for XFinity. However you have to contact Comcast to activate the modem and it took me couple hours with two different technician. The first technician had problem activating the phone line, fortunately the second one was able to fix it.

    I went with this modem because it also had a port for the landline that we have. Not all modems have that capability. It was an easy set up and pretty easy call in to the cable provider.
