ASUS CM-32 Cable Modem WiFi Router (AC2600, 32x8) DOCSIS 3.0 with Dual USB 2.0, Certified for use on Comcast Xfinity, Spectrum and Cox

I sent it back because not only would my current provider not support this modem, I was willing to switch and none of the providers in my city supported it.

pretty easy to install

super fast shipping, arrived in perfect condition, and great value. Thanks. will be back.

The idea of this router is great. ASUS Router with a built-in cable modem. However in its execution it is a failure. Because it has a cable modem, ASUS will not keep the Firmware up to date. According to ASUS site, "cannot be installed any drivers by yourselves. The default setting, function and application cannot be changed."The router came shipped with ASUS Firmware version 1.0.1.5. The current version is 3.0.0.4.384_20287 . AUSUS's site tells you that there is no way to update the firmware. I encountered some problems configuring the VPN Client on the router and the only solution from the web is to be on a more current version of firmware which is impossible. I regret wasting so much time trying to get this product to work.

After spending 2.5 years dealing with the crap modem from Comcast/XFinity, I finally took the leap. After reading up for a couple weeks on which cable modem/router combo would be best, I narrowed the list down to 2 different items. On the model that Comcast/XFinity "leases" to me, I very rarely got transfer speeds anywhere near the 125Mb/s that I was paying for. I was averaging almost half of that, at 59.78Mb/s. According to Comcast, it was due to the amount of people in my area that were using their internet service. After disabling the "guest" account that Comcast forces on people (yeah, they say it doesn't affect your speeds, but they lie) the average improved to almost 70Mb/s, but still no where near the 125Mb/s. Enter the ASUS CM-32...Setup:Honestly, the setup out of the box was extremely simple... plug it in, attach the coax to the back, wait about 5 minutes and then log into the device and go to Comcast's activation site, enter my account info and wait a few minutes again. While it was simple, ASUS' instructions were incorrect... they stated to go to "router.asus.com" but apparently that is no longer the supported method. Having experience with this, I immediately entered the IP address of the device (mine defaulted to 192.168.1.1) and boom, the initial setup screen appeared! After it was all said and done, the process from start to finish took all of 20 minutes!Performance:Holy transfer speeds batman! I spent most of the first day running speed tests every hour or so and I'm averaging 117Mb/s... effectively double what I was getting using the default equipment from Comcast. Internal network performance has vastly improved as well (I have 1 computer, a NAS, 2 tablets, 2 smartphones, a PS4, and a Smart TV connected) with no noticeable drop in transfer speeds while streaming Netflix or utilizing Plex. While I haven't been running this device for a long duration, it's already out performing Comcast's equipment to the point that I will NEVER again "rent" from them.There were 2 minor issues... the first, like I said, the instructions were slightly incorrect with how to connect to the device. The second issue, and this is kind of nit-picky... there were a couple of typos in the setup screens (siNg instead of sigN being the most prominent).Final thoughts:I'm definitely impressed with the ASUS... from how easy it was to connect and setup to how well it performs. This is definitely one solid device. If you are looking to move away from Comcast's craptastic equipment, I would whole-heartedly suggest that you bite the bullet and purchase this device.
