Cheapest I've seen it in awhile. Better to buy it from Amazon than Motorola as you will have some recourse should anything go wrong also FAR better buying than renting from your cable company for the usual $10-15/mo for substandard equipment.

Best Buy and Wallymart are $179.99 both should match this price instore

    i would never buy a modem with built in router intentionally.

    No built-in router? I'd consider this a HUGE plus!

    Agreed... I always prefer to have a seperate modem and wireless router. My wireless router has it's own 4 ports to "hardwire" my TV's and desktop into.

    no built in router. only one ethernet port to connect to router. my current c7000 has 4 ports that i connect my hue hub, arlo hub etc.
    Looks like this works with Xfinity. Anybody have experience with this + xfinity? I have a 600 MBPS line

    Got this 7+ months ago and it works great with Xfinity. Stable and no issues

    Agreed. I have my modem then firewall, core switches, distribution switches, access switches, and PoE wireless access points. Rock solid.

    That said, I've had trouble with the motorolas randomly failing about 3-4 years in service. I have been buying nighthawks more recently.

    I just upgraded my Xfinity line from 600 to 1.2. I was looking for a good gigabit modem that was compatible with Xfinity and wouldn't break the bank. I narrowed it down to this one and the Arris Surfboard S33. There were good and so-so reviews for both, but I selected the C33 mainly because they had one in Like New condition in the Amazon warehouse for $150. I am supposed to get it in a few days. This was before I saw the sale price on this MB8611 for new. I guess I'll wait to check out the S33 and see how that is before considering this one if it is still on sale. I suppose I should have waited for Prime Day...

    Lots of good deals for the used ones on the FB marketplace. I saw a guy selling the exact one for 20 bucks. I already bought an equivalent netgear for 35 and looks new.

    Sounds like someone dabbles in Ubiquiti.

    This is a great stable modem. I've been using it for more than a year without any issues. The bottom stand can be removed and the modem fits into a 1U rack if this is something you're interested in.

    Was always a Netgear fan but would always find myself rebooting a few times a month. I thought it was normal. This thing has been flawless for almost a year now. I think I've rebooted 2x.. Great modem..

    Just upped my xfinity speed to 900Mbps would this give me the capable output of getting those speeds through Wi-Fi?
