Seems like a decent price, but how would you compare this to the SB8200 (currently $149 and also DOCSIS 3.1 32x8)?
I know not for my current speed, but I've been waiting to get any 3.1 modem and...

8200 has like 7 different revisions and only some are supported on certain ISPs. The S33 is the no-brainer choice for compatibility.

If you have Comcast 1.2 Gbps speed, and you don't want the xb7 box Comcast provides, this is the best router you can get. 1.2 often runs at 1.4 speed, and any non-DOCSIS 3.1 modem will max at 940...

$149 prime day. I guess cause it was recently $20 cheaper? Doesn't seem like these surfboards go on sale as much as their Motorola counterparts.

I don't think there's any advantage? I mean unless you have speeds over that of your current modem supports. And even then you need a WiFi 6 router to truly feel the effects?!

The Arris SB8200, Arris S33, Motorola MB8600/MB8611, and Netgear CM1200/CM2000 are generally the go-to DOCSIS 3.1 options, depending on pricing, ISP, and connection speed/future proofing. Ubiquiti...
