When first plugged in (after verifying all lights were blinking correctly) with Comcast as the internet provider, I opened the internet (Chrome) on my laptop and was redirected to the comcast website, asking for log-in information which I had collected ahead of time. After logging in with my account information, a little progress bar appeared where Comcast was "identifying" my new router. 15min later everything was complete and I was using internet and downloading Amazon videos just like before.
Does it have the speed of a fancier model? I have not run tests, but I can't complain. Some apps download about 1.5Mb/s. Usually, 5-6 devices are running off the router that this modem powers. Can't imagine what an extra $50 for the "most recent" model would have provided.
There is no power switch as such which means you more or less have a static IP address unless you unplug it, Release the IP Addy through Windows or your ISP changes it. What you do have is a switch to deactivate the unit by putting it into standby mode for security purposes if your computer is on 24/7. Simply push the button and you are back online.
ISPs often charge a monthly fee to rent the same thing so this more than pays for itself in just a couple months. As long as it works and you don't need the router/modem version then go with this unit. You save plenty over the cost of a new one. A final note of caution. Check with your ISP to make sure they support the use of this model modem on their network.
