I was looking for this modem to go on sale. Not as good of a price as months back, but good deal on solid modem. Will be returning the Costco deal modem as it runs very hot and it is not 2.5GB as this one is. Link [amazon.com]

It's sold by the manufacturer, shipped by Amazon, with the standard 30 day Amazon return policy listed.

You had me worried, so I checked.

Doesn't look like you checked. You seem to have assumed based on a past unrelated purchase.

I've had this modem with the 1 Gbps Ethernet port connected to Xfinity for a few years now. It's been rock solid. Not one problem and it runs cool. Not even warm.

Thank you. I had ordered this yesterday for $40 more. Cancelled and got it for the deal price with 14 minutes to spare before the deal expires.

You had a similar looking model.

This one has only been out around a year. 2.5GB Ethernet jack and newer, supposedly better, DOCIS chipset.

just got one yesterday from Best Buy with the recycling program and had to haggle with the Best Buy to get $10 off, so paid $185 cuz evidently you have to purchase Geek squad wifi setup cost $100 before you can get 15% off.. Geek Squad wifi service doesn't make sense if you are buying a cable modem, there is no wifi to setup... hence the haggle there.. Regardless, all that haggle yesterday wasted... Got one, repped to the Poster, much appreciated!

Make sure you use CAT6 cable if you have a 2.5GB router and want to take advantage of speeds over 1GB. I'll be pairing this with AX3200 [costco.com] that is on sale for $129.99 at Costco or you can go for AX11000 [costco.com]

Thanks for the heads up on this. I went ahead and picked one up and will test it this week. Been looking for a new one as my older one is 5 or so years.

Bought one of these when I moved earlier this year and had to switch to Comcast. Internet was dropping out multiple times a day, but I figured it had to be something on their end, not the brand new modem (which should have been overkill for the 400Mbps plan I'm on).

Long story short, their technicians were useless and couldn't figure it out. I had to troubleshoot it myself, and eventually swapped out the modem just to see. That was the problem. Returned it and bought a different brand, internet has been rock solid ever since.

Edit to add: Coincidentally, it looks like the modem I ended up switching to is also on sale:
