    I have had this for a few weeks and so far so good. Set up was easy with iOS. I now get full 960 Mbps via ethernet. I like the extra ethernet plugs, it come in handy to stream line my system. Highly recommend.

    much bigger than my DOCSIS 3.0 Netgear, taller, so if you hide your modem worth noting. Activated and running in minutes, stable and fast. Broacomm chipset runs far cooler than older versions.

    Works with Mediacom if you're wondering but you will have to contact them as the automated setup failed. It's faster than their modem of course but nothing significant. Overpriced IMHO.

    Powerhouse Modem

    Just replaced an 8 year old modem that Charter Spectrum gave me to use. I also paired this up with the new Netgear Nighthawk AX8 router. My last router was the Netgear Nighthawk AC3200, so still great. I was getting 100 mbps from Charter but I knew I could do better. Charter just upped their speeds in my area to 400 mbps so I got this modem and it is really pushing my speeds though consistently. I love it and I love the design of it as well. Definitely recommend this modem if your ISP is giving you speeds over 100 mbps. You may be certainly missing out if you are using the ISP's modem! This was a breeze to set up and I feel like I future proofed myself quite a bit in the process.

    A major improvement from my previous 3.0 modem. Since I had already installed a MESH system, I did not need the wireless feature of my old modem either. The response is a faster and reliable system throughout my home. One quick call to the cable company and I was up and running in minutes.

    Out internet was acting out. We tried everything nothing would connect. We even called the internet guys to come out and they said everything was fine. Come to find out the wire connected to this don’t know which one, sorted out the old router. After getting this one our internet has been so much better and faster. We love it!

    I wanted a gigabit-capable modem to replace the one that Xfinity offers. This one is fantastic. Stable, fast, reliable. It is truly an upgrade to what I had and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

    I bought this mode, to be used with Comcast Xfinity. After a little plug and play and a quick phone call to Comcast I was up and running in no time. I picked this model over the one similar to it because it has 4 Ethernet out ports on the back of it and hardwiring some devices is much better and faster than wireless. I use this product in conjunction to the Google WIFI and I get 800+ mbps no problem. I could get more, but I only pay for the 800. Point is it is fast and reliable. I have had other models that I am constantly having to reset, but not with this one.
