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 summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    This modem is amazing! I didn't expect any difference from my netgear cm600 which gave out after 3 yrs. Youtube videos instantly play without waiting and with a cheap router which needs to upgrade this week. Webpages load faster than docsis 3.0. This modem is the best modem i have ever owned. Gaming on this modem is great bullets and hit register quick. I would recommend this modem to any house. It is pricey but it is worth the price for me.

    Solid

    This was a replacement for the COX provided modem. All in all it appears to be a good choice. Its faster than the cox modem, I pay for 150meg, and previously was getting 150-155 this one clocks at 175 or so. I was kinda concerned about the number of reviews that noted high heat, but since it sits out in the open,figured i was ok. Its warm, but not any more than the cox modem. As long as there is a bit of circulation I dont think there would be a probem.
