Title: Works great!
Review: While my Xfinity tech was here replacing my Xfinity box he said my modem was only 400 speed, but I had 800 available. So I got this one that covered that difference, it wouldn't connect to the internet. I spent two days and many hours on the phone with Xfinity, they finally offered to have a tech come trouble shoot it and get it going for me. He did this and that for an hour and a half, since it was a refurbished unit it was misidentifying as an Xfinity Gateway unit. We gave it a new Wi-Fi network name and gave it a new password, that was the hookup problem fixed.

Title: Works as advertised
Review: I purchased this modem to save the 15$/month rental fee. Looks brand new but is a refurbished modem. It will pay for itself in 6 months.Super easy to set up using the Xfinity app first then the Arris Surfboard app. Speed test : Download speed 350 Mbps Upload 21.7 MbpsI did have to call Xfinity tech support for help. Took about 15 mins to get everything set up.If i get a year out of it Iâll be happy. So far So good !!!Highly recommended 5 stars

Title: Maybe yes, maybe no
Review: Modem would not work on Xfinity network. Tried two different modems, but simply wouldnât connect to internet. No warranty from Arris since refurbished. It was a maybe it would work, but Comcast would have to make paid service call to try. Too much effort and time wasted. Xfinity support said call manufacturer, but you can only ask questions of community. Returning it. Nice to hear it worked for some, but not us.

Title: UPDATE
Review: I purchased this modem to replace the Xfinity one I had which I was paying $14 a month for.By doing some research I thought this one would be better than the Xfinity but no. the wifi connection is slow, I'm always having to restart. Customer service is no help either, one guy told me to move the modem to a high place, well that didn't work either. I'm giving this modem till the end of the month but I can see I will most likely be returning it.UPDATE: After me moving the modem to a higher spot I have noticed the Wi-Fi is faster and I havenât had any further issues.

Title: Works well but comcast is PITA
Review: I received this modem to replace a much older one. I hooked it all up and attempted to contact comcast to hook it in to their system. Here is where things got frustating. I called the number in the documentation and after getting bounced around from automated support area to automated support area I was told to power off for 10 seconds and power it back up and then recontact Comcast. Which I did. As I was waiting I opened a browser and there was a page for comcast to get their mobile app for my cell phone. So I installed the app. Long story shortened after 15 minutes of going through the app they connected me with customer support. Mind you all of this is being done in text on the phone. I hate texting at the best of time. SHould only be used if your partner needs you to pick up milk on your way home from work 30 minutes later they said it would take 30-45 minutes for the system to recognize the modem and I should expect a call in an hour from comcast. This was 2:35pm. Well, 75 minutes later things were finally working. By 9pm I still hadn't received any phone call. I do not fault Arris for this. There product appears to work well. Much stronger wi-fi signal in the house so no complaints there.In conclusion A+ for the Arris modem. D-/F for Comcast/Xfinity tech support. Money value also A+. I won't and can't fault the product for Comcast's bad tech support.

Title: don't buy this - problematic activation process
Review: I bought this item for the ease combination of a modem and a wifi router. However, it was a disaster since the wifi never connects and kept making me to contact the customer service. I spent 3 days to figure out, however, all they say is to purchase a protection plan and they will further assist.NO THANKS! I ended up returning the item and went back to a traditional way - a modem and a wifi router. the internet never disconnects and works better!

Title: It goes well with Xfinity so I don't have the extra $15 per month on my bill
Review: I like that it's thin and in white. Would prefer a smaller, more compact model. I haven't had the need for Tech support but I imagine I won't need much help as when i used another router which was rented. Worth it to save money!
