    Swapped from terrible ISP modem and router to this and paired with an asus router. My connection is now much more stable. Static speeds and the best part? Not having to give money to my ISP for rentals anymore. This is basically going to pay itself off in a year. Very small and simple to use. Would highly recommend this. Especially when it's on sale.

    I was able to get the modem set up and activated fast and easy. Not much else to say sense it's only a modem and not a router.

    Suddenlink Service Rep claims wont work for 1 gig

    Purchased because product claims to work with DOCSIS 3.1 as well as DOCSIS 3.0. It may but Suddenlink rep claims it will not work with Suddenlink service which requires DOCSIS 3.0. Apparently it did not because Suddenlink never activated modem. Hard to know for sure but returned for another Netgear product that supports DOCSIS 3.0 and is working fine. Return to Best Buy was easy and efficient.
