    Hook up was easy, the unit works well. I should have purchased the next unit up. The cable company upgrading my service to 50mb per sec. This modem is rated at 38 mb per sec.

    This modem was delivered in great condition and included a Ethernet cable to connect to my router. Time Warner Cable is our internet provider, and this is one of the modems recommended on their website. It was a breeze to set up and has been working great!

    This died after about a year. We had to run out and purchase another modem locally to restore our Internet service.

    Same as everyone else. Eliminates the rental/lease payment for a unit from TWC. I’ve had it since April. No problems at all. I leave it turned off and have it,and the wifi unit on an 3 outlet tap cube plugged into an outlet adaptor that has a switch on it so I turn both off unless I’m using it. It’s fast and reliable and because I only use it for regular internet use,it’s the bottom of the line data connection and still does video and flash player use without stopping and buffering and hiccups in playing video or animation on web pages. I don’t use it for streaming but if it had a faster mb access speed it would probably do as well as it does using it for what I’ve got. Even the tech that did the install said it a good,problem – free unit.

    This modem is a bit outdated but still works perfectly fine. Verizon contacted us a few times letting us know it wouldn’t work with our service but it has continued to work just fine. I highly recommend this product as it works well and is much cheaper than renting through your wireless company.

    Unfortunately, TWC was unclear about this modem. I wasn’t sure I could use it or not for my internet connection. So, I returned it for a full refund.

    Worked for a while, but then random packet loss (2-5%) started. Charter techs blamed bad wiring, but only after replacing the modem did the problem go away.

    I wanted to believe that this “end-of-life” modem was “resurrectable.” Unfortunately, after speaking to several employees at Xfinity as well as our very own independent unbiased networking specialist (aka our Asian friend), the consensus was to return the modem. I wanted to be wrong – I wanted this modem to work so badly – I argued my case to Xfinity but to no avail. This modem was however, very inexpensive and all the parts were there and it was shiny and smelled of brand new plastic. But it was no longer supported 🙁

    It works, but I often ran into issues where I had to reset or unplug/replug the modem to get it to work properly. I’d buy a more up to date mode (as I have done a year ago).
