Pros & Cons
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.

Highlights
Quality

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

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

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

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

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
