  • I keep reading bad reviews but it is not my experience so far
Style: SURFboard Mesh System
I just packed up my Orbi RBK43 system to return. I gave it two weeks and still could not make 3 units work together even using ethernet as the Backhaul (unit to unit connection at 1gb). Buying the Arris for some is just an extension of the Surfboard modem(s) we have used for years So far it took less time to set up this Arris system including the satellite. Just FYI the initial setup uses Bluetooth so don't walk to far away and make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. I have a cable with 1000 mbps down and 40 up. the router connects to mt modem with optimum speed at around 930 Mbps maybe because I am also connected the Arris SB8200 modem. The backhaul is faster than my wired network basement to second floor distance, several floors and walls. What has improved after removing the Orbi RBK43 VS the ARRIS Surfboard mAX Plus 1. The basic down load on the router connected to my modem increased from 860 to 930 mbps. The Orbi is not a good router but the Arris is. 2. My 3-year-old laptop went from 90 mbps to 300mbps Plus where I use it. 3. All of my devices re-connected easily without any input including all of amazon’s devices, echo’s and 4K fire sticks. I did need to restart some devices to connect at 5Ghz but no password resets even though the default DNS server is 192.168.7.1 and not ---.---.0.1 4. Only two units running instead of 3. 5 Didn't ask me to buy anything additional once the setup was complete. (no ads) Notes: 1. The units are not small 2. The software is phone based only and very limited. I would say its plug and play for those who don't care to get inside your wireless network. 3. I like the blue light lets me see if its running from a distance (you can turn it off). 4. Has other features like parental controls, antivirus (?) and works with Alexa commands. All of which I do not use or need so I did not check these. Very little information exists on the web for this device. I wish Arris would promote it so some people can read more reviews. Its unfortunate most of the Amazon reviews are from people who didn't have a good experience. Given the price point here I have found nothing comparable. Anyone who has used a surfboard modem as I have for many years trusts Arris so I have some idea how their equipment works over the long haul. Update: These units have a constant 2.7Gbps connect between them (backhaul) which is much faster than any wired network. My laptop is connecting to the internet at 300-400 Mbps @ 5Ghz but again that is through the router and out to the internet for a speed test. I am happy with these speeds. My phone says 500Mbps plus on a wireless connection and I have much better voice calling over wireless as I can now take a call in the deep recesses of my basement. I had one disconnect not sure what happened. I also noticed that the router does not readily reconnect to the modem when unplugging. It does if you use the mobile app reset button? If I unplug the unit, I also need to unplug the modem. I have been reconfiguring my network into a rack mounted setup so the reason I have been playing. Ordered som flat ethernet cables as the space underneath is very tight. The cable work fine. the unit comes with one I noticed that you may need to reboot both units to reestablish a good backhaul especially after moving the units or playing around with your setup. ... show more

Style: Router - mAX
Picked this up used from Amazon at a great price and it works awesome and is way better than my old router which I linked up to this new router as an access point.

  • Disappointing performance - Recommend don't buy
Style: SURFboard Mesh System
The Arris SURFboard mAX AX7800 Wi-Fi 6 Router looks great on paper. it has amazing claimed features and could be enticing to buy buy I would steer away from this product. Here is my experience with their claims: Whole home Wi-Fi 6 system capable of speeds up to 7. 8 GPS - only achieved half that throughput if you assume that the backchannel has a productive outlay for the satellite - which is never the case. I get only 40 mbps regularly and 80 at times when connected to the satellite - 2-Unit system provides up to 6, 000 square feet of coverage - coverage is not true the reception i get is spotty. the satellite never connects on 5 GHz even when you are in front of the unit. Dedicated band for gigabit backhaul between SURFboard Max routers - This works. I've seen speeds upto 2.5 Gbps showing on the screen. But with the satellite not producing more than 80 Mbps ever, what use is the gigabit backhaul? Capacity to stream multiple 4K videos simultaneously and all smart home devices - ok! but not simultaneously (I've not really tested this yet) Automatically connects clients to the best available Wi-Fi connection - struggles to connect. My Echo which is closer to the satellite by distance connects to the main unit mostly. Works with Alexa - use your existing Echo device to control your surfboard Max with commands like "Alexa, ask SURFboard to enable guest Wi-Fi". - not a useful feature, fanciful at best. 5x the speed and range of 802. 11AC Wi-Fi - theoretically. in reality my old Google Home Wi-Fi which this replaces has better Wi-Fi reception than this powerful AX router. Easy to use app is the control center for your home network, making setup and management of your network simple. Available for Android and iOS. - App is really basic. I moved up from Google Wi-Fi so it is similar (and I thought that I would not need any more features) but you cannot trouble shoot or configure the router. You cannot even choose the channel or Wi-Fi band to connect to. Up to 7x better battery life on Wi-Fi 6 client devices - hmm ....upto but what is the baseline? ... show more

  • Good router, ok app
Style: Router - mAX
First, I'd like to say that I bought this from Amazon, advertised as a NEW item. It was fulfilled by Amazon.com Services LLC. It arrived in a generic white box that wasn't even sealed. The router was falling out of the box, the power cord was thrown in and tangled, the router itself had blue ink stains on it and dirty fingerprints all over it, and it was missing the quick start guide and I suspect other important paperwork. It was clearly NOT a new item, and I have contacted Amazon about this. So beware of seller! That said, so far, this router is working great! I have it paired with the Motorola MB8611 modem and things are lightning fast! The app to set things up was a little difficult (maybe would've been better if I'd had the paperwork that was supposed to be with it?) to use, but once we (Xfinity tech and I) got everything set up, it was pretty easy to navigate. There are hidden menus that take some time to discover. I have no dead spots in the house (about 1500 sq ft) and a decent range outside of the house, as well. It has definitely improved my tv streaming and everything I do on my cellphone, but since my laptop is considerably old, it only minimally improved its speed. Maybe someday I can afford a new computer, too. ... show more
