ARRIS (SBG10) - Cable Modem Router Combo - DOCSIS 3.0 16 x 4 Gigabit & AC1600 WiFi, For Comcast Xfinity, Cox, check with ISP for compatibility [Not for Spectrum] 400 Mbps Max Internet Speeds

After struggling for 5 hours trying to get two different Netgear routers to work only to find out that Netgear was blocking my devices until I paid them big bucks for some bogus security service subscription, and realizing, because of that, the new stand alone modem I got was now useless too...I decided to just go "all in one."I studied Cox' list of accepted devices and this little beauty by Arris seemed to check all the boxes. I've always had great luck with Arris Surfboard products, and this combo router/modem is no exception. Super simple to set up with the quick start and QR codes. They even include ALL of the numbers/passwords/codes you might ever need to make things work right inside your little quick start booklet! So when I got Cox on a chat, I just told them all the numbers, they swapped out my new combo device for my old modem, bingo bango, I'm back in business! No glitches, no issues, no useless subscriptions, just powerful speeds and super fast connectivity. Little bonus? The lights are a soft green and very easy on the eyes, even at night.As to cost, the two-device method would have been $150, versus this one and done unit at $80. Your mileage may vary, but I'm very pleased with my decision and purchase. Happy shopping, all!

This is an excellent replacement for the Comcast Modem/Wi-Fi Router. It is also probably one of, if not the cheapest replacement ones available at 115 bucks. It will save the 13 bucks I was paying to Comcast every month and therefore will pay for itself in 8 months. We have noticed no reduction in performance from what we had with the Comcast unit and we have 4 smart phones, 2 streaming big screen TVs, 3 laptops and a desktop computer in a 2 story, 2500 square foot colonial house with many of those devices operating simultaneously at times. Also, despite what some have wrongly stated, it also has 2 ethernet ports where you can connect a desktop computer directly to it as I am doing. After 30 years with Comcast, I finally dropped cable TV and a landline (which had degenerated into just telemarketer calls all day). The landline was replaced by 4 cell free Samsung smart cell phones with unlimited data for 100 bucks a month including all fees from T-Mobile via Metro PCS. I have what I consider the ultimate package to replace cable. I got YouTube TV for 49.95 per month including all fees and the perfect channel line-up, incredible sport package, 6 different accounts, and unlimited cloud storage for recording. I combined it with Amazon Prime where for 115 per year (only 9 bucks a month) I get free shipping, free music on all my devices and Amazon Prime Video with as many movies as Netflix, but obviously a way better deal getting all 3 things and for less money. I also took a chance and reduced the internet speed from Comcast from 400 mbps to only 60 to save even more money. Guess what? I noticed zero difference in performance and we got those 4 phones on wifi, 2 TVs streaming, 3 laptops going plus the desktop. Next I bought this router to replace the Comcast router and got the same performance. I reduced my Comcast bill from 230 per month to 75 with all these changes. When you include the cost of YouTube TV, the total bill was reduced from 230 to 125. I also researched the 3 WiFi adapters - Roku, Amazon Firestick and Google's chromecast. I found Firestick to be the best but then found out Google's chromecast blocks Amazon's Prime video and Amazon's Firestick blocks YouTube TV. Therefore in the end, I had to go with Roku. Bottom line: Dump landline and go with T-mobile via Metro PCS 4 phone deal. Dump cable and go with the combo of YouTube TV and Amazon Prime which essentially gives you movies for free from Amazon Prime Video. Buy a Roku for your TVs to pick up the WiFi signal. Dump Comcast's modem/wifi router and buy this Arris Surfboard. Reduce your internet speed from Comcast down to 60. If that happens to not work for you, simply go back up to Comcast's next speed up which I think is 150, but of course costs more.

Main reason I bought this was to replace my Xfinity X1 that was a part of their promotion when starting a new account with them. Device is compatible with Comcast and set up is fairly easy with the Internet service provider and the app that is provided.Device: the device is a modem and router combo. Which means it receives the main service through the coax cable and can give off 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi signals. The main attraction of this device is not having two separate units when it can be combined into one. The downside is the Wi-Fi strength and connection could be spotty at times.Connectivity: wired connection is solid with no drops in speed. Probably my preferred method of using this.There are some connection issues wirelessly on the 2.4 GHz band. My smart light bulbs have noticeably been glitchy compared to using the Comcast provided device. However, I stated above this is one of the downsides of the cheaper two and one product.I currently have the device in the living room, the Wi-Fi speed and connection strength tanks going to my bedroom, which is about 25 feet away, separated by a wall.App: the app can be very slow and takes a while for changes to occur, but overall able to change the modem name, set parental controls, monitor devices that are connected to the device, security. Overall, basic functionality does work well but mildly slow.Other: for those gaming/streaming on a budget, wired connection is going to be your best option. If you have to use a wireless connection, you would need to be in the same room.Overall: this product is great to replace a Comcast provided device. I would recommend using this in a studio apartment, one bedroom apartment, two bedroom apartment would be stretching it. I would not use this device if bedrooms are located upstairs; the device needs to be in the same room or very close to the adjacent room to minimize Drops in speed and connection. This device also works well for smart devices, such as light bulbs, vacuums, and security cameras. For the price, I can’t complain about how it has performed so far.
