I bought the Arris SURFboard Modem to replace the Xfinity modem I had been renting from them at an extravagant cost per month.
It's been one of the best purchases I've made, because it has paid for itself and saves me money every month...and it works perfectly!
Thanks Arris--and thanks BestBuy for this, well, best buy!

The setup process was easy and straight forward. The most difficult party was getting through to Cox technical support.
The real star of the show is the router's WiFi strength. You have 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands to choose from, the ARRIS DOCSIS 3.1 G34 model gets the 5G signal EVERYWHERE with full strength I use 2.4ghz for a Brother printer I have. The router is located behind the tv in my living room and the wifi signal is amazing: in the bedrooms, the bathroom, kitchen you name it.
I recommend this modem/router.

The best modem router combo you can get

You can't really get a better router modem combo than this for all your needs. It has a very strong radius and extremely fast speeds, especially connected to mobile devices. It took me a minute to set up through my cable provider, but I would recommend that you just call them direct. Don't try to set it up yourself. It'll be much faster.

This modem is great with wifi and provides closer speeds to what i pay for compared to comcast moden was rented for 8 years at 16 bucks a month so its well worth it to own ypur own. Plus with total tech protection you have no worries. If your on the fence the set up is simple only a power cord and a coaxial cable and comcast will activate with about 15 minutes of your time. Thabk me later

The product works great and the modem router combo is good value. Setting up with provider, Xfinity, was very easy. The smartphone app is needed to set up the device. I was able to do so and rename my network and password, but the app has technical issues that doesn’t allow some of its features to work. Its okay as the device otherwise functions great!

Amazing modem router combo.
Easy to setup, brings out the best in my internet service.
Besides the speeds i think the most impressive part is the wifi range is far longer than any I've ever seen. I can get half way down the street and still have signal.
My only slight complaint is the built-in in software is a little lacking doesn't give as much control as id like and isn't the best to navigate. Otherwise I would of gave it 5 stars

Needed to upgrade when we changed internet providers and wasnt doing to do the “its only $10 a month for as long as you have internet!” Settings are easy to change via the app or web browser. Connection is steady and speed test proves speed is at spec! I also make use of the ethernet connections on the rear for our PC’s Would recommend!
