    Initially we purchased a modem/wireless router combination, but could not use it because it was incompatible with our Cox Business Internet account. Ultimately we purchased, and successfully installed, a Netgear CM500 cable modem plus a Netgear Wireless Router Model R8000 and are satisfied with both.

    Connected with Xfinity internet connection as expected. The fact that I need to meet a minimum character limit is annoying. This isn't a knock on the product. It's a knock on Best Buy. I'd recommend figuring out some other mechanism.

    Very easy to install, however if you have land line phone that needs to be connected this does not have an extra spot to plug the phone line into. I wish I knew that before I purchased. Modem still goes out of service every once in awhile and I have to reset it to reboot.

    I bought this because I wanted to get rid of the ridiculous fees associated with renting a modem from our Internet Provider. It has support for DOCSIS 3.0 and saves me $10/month so after a few months this will have paid itself off!
