Overview
ARRIS combines a cable modem and a Wi-Fi router in one SURFboard unit, so the cable line from the provider feeds a single box that broadcasts dual-band wireless and offers wired Ethernet. Settings, parental controls and access point mode are handled through an app.
Folding the modem and router into one unit cuts down on boxes and cords. Coverage and wired ports suit a modest home, and it works only on cable internet service, so fiber and DSL users gain nothing from it.
Who it's for
Suited to a smaller home on a cable plan where one device should handle both the connection and the wireless network. Large houses, setups with many wired devices and non-cable services are poorly served.
Pros and cons
- Modem and router in one unit
- Fast wired LAN ports
- App-based setup and control
- Parental controls built in
- Only two Ethernet ports
- Cable internet service only
- Single internal antenna
- Downstream maximum not listed
Performance notes
Real speed is capped first by the cable plan and the modem's channel capacity, then by distance and walls between the unit and each device. The faster wireless band carries more data but loses range sooner, so rooms at the edge of the coverage area see the biggest drop.
