Footnotes
*100/250 Mbps represent the advertised throughput you can achieve with the Internet plan provided by your cable service provider. Actual throughput may be lower than 100/250 Mbps, as this throughput is dependent on your contract with your cable service provider.
**960 Mbps based on DOCSIS 3.0 throughput. Maximum speed varies depending on the service provided by the cable operator. IPv6 availability is dependent upon your ISP or service provider providing IPv6 capability.
Speed references are provided, marketed, and sold by your broadband service provider and not Linksys. Actual performance, including network speed and data throughput rate, may vary. Performance depends upon many factors, conditions, and variables, including products used, number of users accessing the Internet, type of traffic generated by each user (interactive browsing versus video streaming), interference, and other adverse conditions. Actual data throughput will be lower than that indicated and may depend on the mix of products used and external factors.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
5 stars is something I will genuinely give a product if it does what it says it does and provides a great solution to either a want or a need. Sounds great right? Well there are a few points about this that make it great.
Savings: Even if I were to just have purchased this product it makes a ton of sense to me. Going from a $10/ month charge to a $7/ mo credit make all the sense in the world when dealing with Comcast/Xfinity your mileage may vary for your provider but this product would have paid for itself in a year of service just not having the rental fee. (the reason I had the rental was for the home security which has an issued added I will talk about later)
Ease of Setup: Plug in the connection like the instructions show or (disconnect everything from the rental and plug them in accordingly)
Follow the instruction panel and call your provider give them the Make Model and MAC ID and boom it takes about 5 minutes and a short registration and you are live.
Performance: Having just the modem connected I ran multiple speed tests and confirmed I was getting my full paid speed (consistent 120 up and 12 down through both wired and wireless connections. I have ran multiple HD video Streams and Online gaming sessions concurrently and have had no performance dips like I did with the provider modem.
(The issue with the X1 integrated modem, which is required for Home Security, is it sets aside some (up to 25%) of your PAID bandwidth for the public hotspot. The built in router and the provided Combo are terrible.)
No more issues for me. Compared to my previous Surfboard I have had 0 issues with the Linksys Cable Modem. It just works.
Looks: I know this is purely subjective but I like the black and hard lines of the box and diminished clutter of text and lights on the front of the unit it goes great with the style I like.
On a side note the LEDs are pretty muted but still easy to see. It helps reduce the light from my already blinky entertainment center vs other modems I have had. I would Highly Recommend this product for all the above reason.

I previously came from the widely available Arris SURFboard much like everyone else and decided to give this one a shot instead.
First thing you'll notice about this modem when you pull it out is the build quality, it's solid and built to last. It is bigger (in comparison to the Arris SURFboard) but it has a pretty futuristic look going for it so I enjoy that.
Enough of the physical aesthetics, let's get into the installation and performance.
Installation is pretty much self explanatory, plug in the ethernet, coax cable, and provided gigabit ethernet cable. Open up a browser and activate it via your ISP. After activation, there was a minor problem that occurred (probably on my end) where I would try to access a website and it would kick me back to the activation screen over and over again, after I cleared my browsing data it was working perfectly.
Performance is fantastic, as soon as it was up and running I didn't really have to think about it after that which is what I like. Running speed tests I average about 90mbps down and 10 up, again no complaints from me.
Overall, if you are looking for a modem you really can't go wrong with this one.

Cependant, xfinity n'a pas voulu le considéré compatible même avec le Mac.
J'ai dû revenir à une location modem-router intégré.
It's supposed to be compatible, but they could not get it to work.
