Update: Arris SB8200 has been rock steady so far, no excessive heat or glitches. I do notice better (quicker)...

I've used it in the past for oil-burning clunkers. It cut the consumption and kept me going when nothing else worked.

The App was from Arris. It was a QR code scanned by my phone.

The Arris SB8200 came the very next day. The "App" they provide was totally useless; it wouldn't even work for my model. The setup took a bit longer than expected with the ISP (30 minutes +/-), but eventually hooked up. The positive difference was immediate. The built-in Pluto TV app (LG...

They DO NOT have a recommended list, as I have mentioned above in a previous post.

I ordered the SB8200, which is the first one I researched. It seems hit-or-miss, as it runs very hot, but I'll give it a shot. Thank you and all who responded. Fingers crossed...

Recently bumped from 300 to 600 for free. Aside from simply wanting to upgrade the old 3.0 is limited @ 300-400. I'm an old fart, not a gamer, but I want all I can get from the upgrade and to future-proof a bit.

The 2500 looks fabulous, but is beyond my price range. Thank you, though.

Thanks, but that's a combo. I have a top-shelf router.

I've looked into that brand, but they had as many complaints as the Arris.

The question is reliability, not who the provider is, as it's irrelevant.

It's a small provider called VYVE, not that it should matter. They serve Oklahoma and northern Texas, especially rural areas. They're pretty much the only choice where I live. I KNOW I want 3.1, which is why I'm asking the question!

No, but I have cleared those I have considered with them.

Researching 3.1 Modems ($200 max) leads me to MANY complaints of Arris products overheating, dropping signal, and other malfunctions. Customer service is questionable as well. Can anyone suggest a brand they own and use that has proven reliable? I've had Motorola, then Arris, for longer than I...

I've yet to see that one on my Pixel8 PRO.
