Many appreciate its compact size and straightforward setup process, finding it compatible with their existing services. While some users noted the device can get warm during operation and occasional signal interruptions, the positive feedback on performance and ease of use outweighs these concerns for most.

    Not compatible with advertised speeds on Comcast

    I had upgraded from 150 Mbps to 250 Mbps with Comcast Xfinity, and needed to upgrade my old 4 channel modem. I went with this 8 channel without checking Comcast's compatibility list. Comcast wouldn't provision above 50 Mbps on this device. This is not the fault of the device, and it's capable of full speeds on other providers such as Time Warner and Charter. It's not the device's fault, but I cannot recommend this device. I replaced it with the Netgear CM600 and now enjoy above advertised speeds.

    Good product. Rarely needs a reset. Needs a little head room for cooling. Works with Time Warner Cable and best of all you get out of the "rent-a-modem" scam by TWC.

    The package states it provides set up that does not require contact to Internet provider. That was incorrect. Had to contact Xfinity during set-up. While that was a relatively simple, but unexpected process, setting it up to the existing router was also an issue as well that required another phone call to Belkin. This was an upgrade from a previous, Xfinity sold modem. It's been set up for almost a month now, and there have not been any issues so far. Let's hope that stays the same.

    This modem is easily comparable with the Netgear router we were already using, plus it keeps us from having to pay the rental fee from our internet provider.

    Got this since my old one was like 6 years old, didn't get the fastest speeds. This was inexpensive, worked with my provider and was easy to set up. So I am happy.

    I had an older modem and recently changed internet providers. I didn't want to lease theirs, but still wanted better speed. I went from 14Mps to 37

    Saving money instead of leasing a modem from time warner for 10 dollars a month. 50 bucks and it's yours forever no more throwing away your money.

    The use this common gadget enables far exceeds the price you'll pay for it, as long as it works. And it has! No issues to report, would recommend.

    I got this great modem for a lower price by doing the price-matching deal that Best Buy offers. They match certain competitor's prices. Go for it!
