Title: Terrific Surfboard aka Modem Router Combination.
Review: Provides magnificent Wi-Fi throughout the house and way out into my yard, saving me from $20-$60/month on my Cell Phone Gigs used. It also saves me from my Cable Company's $14/month Rental Fees (this ARRIS SBG8300 is actually free after the first 11-12 months, from No Cable Bills)! Excellent Cable Viewing from the basic Network News, Live Sports and to every Streaming Service available. My TV screen has a clear, crisp sound and picture. The only problems I've run into, since my purchase 9 months ago, were directly from my Cable and Internet Provider. I chose a Refurbished Unit and a lot of Insurance but, I have had Zero issues with my device.⏭️ The ARRIS SBG8300 DOCSIS 3.1 MODEM/ ROUTER was an excellent choice.✴️ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Title: Update: Drops 2.4GhZ constantly, poor support,No WLAN button, refurbished units need a factory reset
Review: Update: This is terribleI regret getting a modem/router combo. If one fails you are in a bad spot. I use smart home devices that primarily use 2.4GhZ only and the router keeps dropping the signal; nothing works; things reset. Arris support? They want me to send it back after verifying it was faulty *without sending a replacement* so I’ll just…. Have no internet? That, or I have to pay the full cost until they receive the old one. I can’t do that right now. I can’t afford to have this fail and can’t afford to front the cost of a second unit. I got a refurbished SBG8300-RB DOCIS 3.1 WiFiunit and it was about $120. It was impossible to change the network name or password until I found the number for support in a PDF manual online. . There is a hole at the top in the back you must press and hold for 15 seconds until it resets. Otherwise, it will ask you for the email of the previous owner when trying to log in. This should have been done while refurbishing the unit.There is also no WLAN button, which you can click on some models which makes it search and pair with devices easier. Without it, connecting things like a printer is a tedious process.

Title: should be easier
Review: Day one. I could not get the Arris application to connect it would not find the wi-fi signals, the instructions in the box gave me the wrong IP/address to access the settings, I should have used the old one. I called tech support, they spoke English with heavy accent that was a barrier, just a barrier not a complaint. Reset the modem redownload the app, still nothing. Then he gave me the correct IP/address and it worked right away. Why was this incorrect on the instructions int he box. Got it set up in a few minutes after that. The setting interface is not super intuitive but it's cleaner and better than the past interface. However every time I connect the setting for the modem it tells me the version of Chrome is old and may have trouble with some settings. I checked, nope Chrome is the newest version and apparently the setting menu is set to run off an older version, but it still works haven't found any issues. Back to the app. It sucks. You not only have to download one app but two apps. The second app changes your login from admin to your email. Thats a nice touch however I have had to go through the whole process of setting up the app each time and if it works it throws me back to the other app. I don't understand the reasoning for this. Either way I am hoping this has better connection and speeds looks like it is working once I called my internet provider, Sparklight does work with it. Should have been easier with all the "convenience" options starting with the correct IP/address.

Title: Great tech support, quality product.
Review: Great way to save the lease fee Comcast wants to charge. Works great with XFinity Internet. Setup was a breeze. I did have an issue with my wi-fi printers dropping out. I would have to restart my desktop computer for them to connect again. I called Tech support, the gentleman was very knowledgeable and resolved the issue with a setting in the admin section. Printers have not dropped out since.

Title: Fabulous replacement for xfinity junk
Review: Bought this to replace xfinity 800 mps or less ( white modem/gateway) service. You can use this on 800mps or less connections.Well worth the money- I'm saving $20 a month on my bill for not using the Xfinity unit. Easy to set-up. Went to junky xfinity app and added equipment, then plugged it in and used the password on the back of the unit. After you do this and it all works (connection to internet) for you, then you can name your own network, etc..

Title: Great internet gateway
Review: Purchased a refurbished unit and it wouldn’t recognize the Arris app. Easily connected to internet with the Xfinity app but it wouldn’t recognize some of devices that were on our previous network. Called Arris support and they were very helpful, the refurbished modem was trying to connect to the previous owner’s network, the support person was able to correct this and my devices are now online and the Arris app recognizes my gateway modem.

Title: Great performance
Review: My only complaint is with Comcast. They defaulted the configuration to a lower service level. Finally got a tech to come to the house and he saw the issue and got it resolved. Router itself works fine. Great WiFi coverage.
