Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the product's impressive speed, strong performance, and overall ease of use, including its simple setup and seamless connection. They also appreciate its compatibility, DOCSIS 3.1 support, and affordable price, noting that it operates without lag and stays cool. However, customers are negative about the limited number of ethernet ports and, for some, the signal strength.

    This modem was exactly what I needed and was one of the lower priced options compatible with Midco for .5 Gig speed. Very easy setup.

    Actually they are very similar but for the $$ this one is smoother in connecting and if there is an issue, there is a handy reset button. Much easier.

    I was limited to only two modems to buy with my provider and i bought the other first and it over heated and died. This one never over heats and gives us great speed.

    Purchased to keep from paying ISP. Docsis 3.1 allows 500+ download (all I purchased, assume would handle 1000 just as easily).
