Pros

The sb1683 has no problems and it has been working well. Connected to my netgear nighthawk router r6350.

This review is for the arris sb6183 cable modem. Within the next five or six months, owning my own modem will have paid for itself saving money from renting one from comcast. Top rated by various reviewers on the internet and by me too. Includes every...  Read More



Cons

I hope this review saves someone time. Shady business.

Nighthawk wifi router stopped working after 88 days. Failed in 6 months; dropped connection to isp and would not reconnect. Reconfigured router but there was nothing to receive.

This is my 3rd arris surfboard product that has failed in the last 5 years. Arris refuses to send me a replacement for the replacement because they claim the problem is on my end. It is not one the puma modems, so i am not so sure what the problem is....  Read More

Even bought as new, there were obvious signs it was reused. Logs state that the modem is having trouble negotiating the communication. Modem company tech support says mine is out of warranty.

Quality


All in all, the sb1683 is doing everything i was hoping it would, coupled with the nest router, and you save a good amount.


It was of great quality and was shipped quickly and carefully.


I purchased it and hooked it up to my cable and called comcast with the mac number from the modem.


The product inside seemed new and still had the plastic wrapping, etc, but the box seal had been removed.

Price


Works great and was a good price.


The product is beautiful with a stealing price i can ever think about.

    After doing some research the clear choice was to buy a separate modem and router as opposed to buying or renting a gateway


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Centurylink and comcast are the two main providers where i live boulder co and unfortunately purchasing a modem for comcast isnt compatible with centurylink so if i switch isps ill have to buy a new modem


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But routers are generally compatible with most modems assuming i keep it within the tech limits of the modemservice and router capability so purchasing a router has a longer effective life span than a modem if i switch isps whether its do to moving or jumping for a prom which is possible as i have no loyalty to utility companies


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Setting up the router and modem is a cinch and you can really save a bundle and likely have a better configured network at home


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The mobile app is worthless dont bother with it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was easy to assemble and also to use just didn’t have the router that i needed so i had to send it back


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I cancelled my internet service with them for five months


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Within the next five or six months owning my own modem will have paid for itself saving money from renting one from comcast
