Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

XFINITY raised the rental rate for their equipment from $10 to $13 so i decided to just buy my own router. After lots of research I concluded the Arris SBG10 was the best option. I have the 250mbps tier package and so far this modem/router works perfect. The only issue I had was with the setup on an iPhone. It didn’t work with iPhone but it worked like a breeze with an android phone. It took less than 5 minutes after using the android for the set up process. I did it all online without having to call or chat with support. I also did a speed test with the XFINITY provided modem and the ARRIS modem (picture attached) and the 2.4G network was better on the arris than with the xfinity provided modem and the 5G network was practically the same. The price of this modem with a 4 year warranty is STILL cheaper than renting a modem from XFINITY for only 1 year. I’ve had them for 4, I should’ve bought my own compatible modem a long time ago. I would definitely recommend this to any XFINITY customer looking to save $156/yr in rental fees.
