Review on πŸ“Ά Motorola SBG6580 SURFboard eXtreme 3.0 Cable Modem Gateway - Latest Version with Wireless Functionality by David Berry

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good price! Junk modem and customer service

Perfect signal for my WiFi at a fraction of the cost! Very happy with this modem. I use it in the Chicago area with Xfinity/Comcast. The changeover went without any problems. To update; This modem is garbage. The Wi-Fi signal is not strong enough to support continuous data transmission on my mobile phone! Buffered all the time! Don't even think about streaming something as small as a 30 second Instagram video! I have a Roku hooked up to my TV and it's almost impossible to watch YouTube videos with all the pauses and buffering. I contacted the seller and they did nothing. Really condescending and rude. I'll throw it away once a replacement arrives. To be clear, this modem is not used in high traffic households. There's literally 1 Roku device and a cell phone connected to it everywhere. I have a medium speed package with Comcast and there shouldn't be a reason this modem is doing so poorly.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
