    Use on Xfinity 50Mbps and works fine. Plugged it in. Activated it. Read the "included" items. It does not include a coax cable.

    I am not completly satisfied with this product. We have had to move it around the house in an attempt to get better reception around the house. It still seems to loose connecton and spends a lot of time "thinking" about doing the job we purchased it for.

    This problem was recommended by the clerk and it failed completely. As a matter of fact they were no help at all - couldn't even answer the questions we asked without being snarky.

    Great for a small set up. Purchase this for a family member who decided to do internet only and use a flex box for their media streaming.

    This modem is somewhat fair for the price that it’s sold for. Although the price seems a bit unfair, the modem does its job and gets you fair access to internet.

    Works well when it works, but it occasionally loses its signal and has to be reset in order to work again.

    I bought this product on Sept 28, 2019 and I completely stopped working today and it’s been only 8 months old. Customer service said oh that’s strange and I got transferred to several people and then put on hold forever. I guess I bought a defective product. I would not recommend anyone to purchase this item unless they want to waste their money.
