Was skeptical but working perfectly easy installing


Switch to an approved modem and now my upload speeds are good.


After only 2 years of owning this, it has become unreliable and unstable.


The auto install instructions that came with the modem did not work for me, gave up and called spectrum, the tech saw the modem...  Read More

Price


Great way to save the lease fee comcast wants to charge.


Uptime has been flawless so far, i highly recommend this renewed router especially for the price.


End of life support for the arris sb8200 is sometime in 2028, but for the price i paid with refurbish, 4 years is good in my view.


It also saves me from my cable company's $14/month rental fees (this arris sbg8300 is actually free after the first 11-12 month...  Read More

    I didnt have to contact my internet provider to activate it the instructions clearly state how to do it yourself


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    While my download speeds increased there were no changes in my upload speeds


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have the 1000 mbps plan and assumed the upload speeds would also improve


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Net didnt show upload speed improvements i checked my plan with xfinity and learned the 20 mbps upload is whats provided


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is not a deal breaker for me but be aware whats available in your plan with your internet provider if it is important to improve both your download and upload speeds


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When it arrived it was in a brown cardboard box instead of the white attractive one that youd expect to see on a store shelf but that was the only difference


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    While downloading an app to configure the device was annoying it made for easy install scanning a qr code on the modem brought up all the information i needed to relay to my internet provider so setup with them once i got someone on the phone was a matter of minutes


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The auto install instructions that came with the modem did not work for me gave up and called spectrum the tech saw the modem activated it and 5 minutes later i was up and running
