Overview
A DOCSIS cable modem and a quad-band Wi-Fi router share one housing in the ARRIS Surfboard, so a single cable line feeds the whole home network from one box. A multi-gig wired port joins the standard Ethernet ports for a fast wired computer or a switch.
Combining modem and router frees up an outlet and a cable, and the multi-gig port gives one wired device or switch a fast lane. Only one multi-gig port is listed, so a home with several fast wired machines will need a switch.
Who it's for
Households on Xfinity, Cox or Spectrum cable plans with fast speed tiers get modem and Wi-Fi from one unit. Fiber subscribers and anyone who prefers to upgrade the router separately should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Modem and router in one box
- Multi-gig wired port
- Quad-band Wi-Fi router built in
- Four extra Ethernet ports
- Cable internet only
- Only one multi-gig Ethernet port
- Router cannot be upgraded separately
- Short one year warranty
Performance notes
Real speed is capped first by the cable plan, then by the link to each device: a wired computer on the multi-gig port can use far more of a fast plan than one on the standard ports. Wi-Fi speed depends on the client device supporting the newer standard and on the distance and walls between it and the router.
