There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Prior to this I have not had any issues with the modem. It has performed well with speeds consistent with those purchased from my provider Spectrum. The original install was simple and I've never needed technical support as the modem has never had issues.
I have a great Wifi router, and I would recommend this modem for anyone who is looking for a modem-only setup for direct connect or to pair with Wifi at 400GB speeds or lower. The price was great and longevity/performance exceeded my expectations for the price point.
I ordered this item from Amazon as a replacement.
I am satisfied with my purchase. A speed test shows my internet is "very fast." The signal is "strong."
Installation and activation were quick and easy.
I simply plugged the modem in exactly the same way the other had been.
I then called Optimum to notify them of the change. In a call lasting 15 minutes in its entirety, Optimum activated the device and had me visit two websites to verify success of the activation. Hopefully, my next Optimum bill will be lower as they assured now that I no longer rent this device from them.

PROS
* Works with Time Warner Cable's Turbo 20/2 plan and my Asus RT-AC68P router.
* Recommended by TWC for speeds up to 300Mbps.
* Currently, it is probably the most popular high-speed cable modem.
CONS
* No phone port ...but that's not a problem for TWC customers (you split your connection to your old TWC modem and your new SB6183 modem; however, if your pay for TWC's phone service then TWC will no longer bill you $8/month for using their TWC modem).
* Warm... It requires 8-watts of power; I assume that future versions will reduce excess power that is converted into heat?
* Extremely bright, especially in the dark... Think of a night light bulb. One reviewer said that the modem lights-up like a disco ball. The unit is full of holes all around its top and sides (probably to dissipate excess heat). Unfortunately, the front panel's LEDs, which are already bright, don't seem to be sealed. That lets light shine through the modem's holes. I keep the modem in a separate room (surrounded by several objects a few inches from it), but it's bright enough that my wife commented about it without being prompted.
INSTALLATION
1. I purchased this modem [$125.95], a pack of three 1.5 feet Cable Matters CL2 In-Wall (CM) Quad Shielded RG6 Coaxial Patch cables [$7.99; Model Number: 701005-White-1.5x3] and a 2-Way Monster Standard RF Splitter for CATV Signals MKII [$7.95; Model Number: SS2RF MKII].
2. I attached two of the new 1.5-foot cables to the two outputs of my splitter.
3. I removed the cable from my TWC modem and attached that end of the cable to the input of my splitter.
4. I attached one of the cables from the splitter's output to my TWC modem and the other cable to my new SB6183 modem.
5. I verified that my phone and Internet were still working.
6. I attached one end of an Ethernet cable (included) to the SB6183 cable modem and the other end to my laptop.
7. I plugged the SB6183 modem into an electrical outlet and waited for all LEDs to light-up (the middle ones appeared blue, indicating a DOCSIS 3.0 connection).
8. I started a web browser, but it was unable to display any web pages (that was expected).
9. After finding my MAC ID (it's on the instruction booklet that comes with the modem; it's also on the modem, but that's not as convenient), I called Time Warner Cable (1-800-892-4357) to activate my modem. After a few minutes, my laptop had an internet connection. My call with TWC was now complete.
10. For my Wi-Fi devices to work correctly, I had to update my Asus router (you could probably access yours through http://192.168.1.1/ with my new modem's MAC ID, but you will probably need your router's ID and password).

That is all i can tell. I did not use it, due to service provider refuse adding it to their network. Reason? No idea. Even though i checked specs with them before purchasing it, they declined this specific model.
