Easy to install! I could have done this myself and saved another $60.
I ordered this modem, prior to my installation of Comcast/Xfinity cable and internet service. I wanted to save money on my monthly cable bill, since they charge $10 per month to rent their modem (and I wanted to know what I was getting). I chose this modem, based on the reviews, and I think it was a great choice. I paid the extra $60 to Comcast for professional installation, but after watching how easy it was for him, I realized I could have saved that $60 and got myself a new pair of shoes instead!
The Home I am renting was already wired for cable service, and this unit was literally a plug and play device. The WiFi password is printed on the bottom of the modem, so it’s easy to authorize any wireless device - this is essential for us, since we homeschool and sometimes have guests who bring along their tablets and laptops for games or study purposes.
We have had no issues or problems with our internet connection, and I would recommend this modem. Some stats that may apply, before you make a decision: our home is a 3 bedroom duplex, approximately 1100 square feet. The signal from this router remains strong throughout our home, including the basement and attached garage.
