Pros & Cons
Pros
Rental modem is cheaper than buying your own. Comcast unlimited plans are expensive. Works great with wi-fi, internet, free ota network tv and 4k free tv.
The speed is amazing even on the 2. Fricken router. Its fast and never fails. Has better distance than my previous apple router.
Cons
Arris claims a warranty but makes you pay for shipping both ways to replace your item. This is in addition to paying for returning your own unit.
Screen capture shows how slow the login page loads. Even opening a webpage is slow and difficult. The admin webpage is also very slow.
After troubleshooting nearly 6 months, called their customer care team. They confirm it is defective unit. Arris claims that there are no software updates.

Great and saves me money on my monthly bill!
Great modem for comcast, priced a bit high.
The modem rental i save @ $25 per month will pay for the arris in 8 months.
I paid $4200 for modem rental over the years not to mention cable box rental in the thousands both gone for good.

I did struggle to get xfinity to ping successfully they tried twice over the phone and it failed and they tried to send a technician but i kept at it myself using their xfinity app and after i entered the correct mac off the new modem i did it myself

They xfinity told me to give them over the phone the wan mac off the bottom and that is why it wouldnt ping the modem because the agent on the phone asked for the wrong mac there are 2 mac s on the bottom of the modemrouter when i got up the next morning and still had no service and an appointment scheduled for 3 days away i opened the xfinity app on my phone again and used the hfc mac on the bottom of the modem and boom 44 a month internet with no modem rental from xfinty
