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.

    I have had no problems whatsoever with it. It made my internet connection faster just by using this modem instead of the one that Comcast gave me.

    I have this modem connected to a Suddenlink cable service. Able to stream TV and music and web surf and still have plenty of bandwidth on my 1 Gbit Suddenlink account.

    Great items. Just keep in mind if you’re buying this if you have a house telephone, this does have a port for that.

    This device fit the bill. I needed a new modem when I switched from DSL to cable internet and the salesperson helped me find just the right one. Thanks

    Stopped working right away, warranty policy=joke.

    Within 29 days we lost internet connection, took an hour for tech support to try and fix (comcast said they cant communicate with the devise even though its got comcast's logo on the box), they said the didn't know why the IP address isn't correct and we would need a new machine. This is where the 1 star comes in, if you don't want to be charged, you have to turn the broken one in FIRST, then wait until they ship you a new one. I cannot believe any company who sells internet equipment would think this is acceptable. You have to sit there for 1 to 2 weeks without internet. Unless you pay them $17, then they will send you one before you send yours back. Oh yeah, if you want it next day (if the machine isn't working you are still without internet) then you have to pay $30. The machine started working after my wife asked for a supervisor because of this ridiculous $30 fee, so they are now asking us to monitor it in case it happens again (remember they don't know why it didn't work in the first place). I bought this $200 machine instead of one with similar reviews for $120 because I thought it would be top notch. At the very least their warranty policy is almost criminal. Again, why should I pay for the privilege of not be without internet for several days when your defective machine that I just bought 4 weeks ago is causing the outage. Lastly, I know a lot of companies are using overseas help, the woman on the phone was barely understandable, not late at night either, in the middle of the day here in the good ole' US. Ridiculous.

    Easy setup worked great with Comcast. Limited to 1000Mbs but that’s not something they hide.

    Frustrating

    I feel like this is supposed to be a great modem but it’s frustrating to use with our cable. They recommended this product to us but it frequently loses connection and make it extra difficult to watch tv when all the content is digital these days. When it’s working is great. When it isn’t is so frustrating. Lots of resets.

    The only reason I gave it 3 stars was because it only came with on ethernet port luckily my routers have additional ports if not I would have to buy external ports.
