    Fast and reliable, unlike my service provider. My better option than renting a modem.

    Was looking for an upgrade for our old modem as well as modem/router. This one did both as we needed and even is up to date to be able to handle the 1gb speeds now being offered by xfinity. Easy setup as well.

    Bought as an upgrade to my modem due to provider upgrades. It was easy to setup. The speeds for uploading and downloading were notably improved. As one of the recommended modems by the provider ratings were it had the the best combined value and rating.

    With that modem, I now get the full 500 Mbs speed on Wowway. Setup was easy: call my cable company with the mac address of the modem. Everything was taken care quickly. Did not experience any issue since I got it.

    Netgear cable modem setup was easy with Mediacom. Just call Mediacom and give the the numbers on the modem. Plug it in and go. I need to pair it with an ax wifi 6 router to truley evaluate it's performance. Midem appears very fast with a gigabyte plan from medicom and my old n router.

    Simple to hook up...a quick call to Comcast and it was activated. Great increase in speed compared to the previous cable modem I was using. Pricey but I wanted this one to last for a while and I think I have plenty of headroom with this model to achieve that.

    Perfect for gigabit internet with xfinity. tried using modem I had before and couldn't get past 500mbps. upgraded my modem to this one activated and got around 989mbps wired which is way better than before. It does get warm and needs to be ventilated

    Easy to install, much less visible than the Motorola Surfboards I have owned and easier to understand indicator lights. Outstanding performance getting gigabit speed even on wireless devices. Certified by Cox. Highly recommend.

    I have not had this modem very long; probably five or six weeks. I am pleased with the performance but I must add that I generally do not put much stock into a review of a product that has been in use for a short period of time. I would rather hear from somone who has used an item for a year rather than little over a month. While I am pleased with the performance to date I also think the product cost more than it should have.

    Comcast now boasts that they have gigabit speeds, great right? Not when their own modem, THEIR OWN MODEM restarts eight times a day. Bought this guy and not only is it reliable, but it also is 10% faster than Comcast own modem as well! Props guys.
