Still waiting for the BETA firmware here, I signed up day 1.

As others have mentioned Arris SB6183 is a great modem choice as well. No ping fluctuation, rock solid Broadcom chipset just like the TP-Link and many others. 
 
Can confirm here having the XR500 myself that it works flawlessly with the SB6183. 
 
Especially worth consideration if you re going to go over the 8x4 channel limitations. 
 
TP Link is a great choice if you currently have one of the INTEL Puma modems such as the SB6190 or you have an older modem / want to stop paying your ISP for their rental fee. 
 
If you already have a good modem such as the SB6183 do your homework before switching .

Hi all, I have removed the last page or so of posts. We want to keep it civil here.
 
I've also added [Opinions] to the topic title. Everyone looking for a new modem should also conduct their own research when making a decision. You should be certain of your decision before making a financial comittment. Also added this line to the original post.

The are known issues with the TM1602 modem. It's intel based:

Any broadcom based modems do not have these problems like Intel modems have:

I'm using a Motorola MB7420 and Arris 6183 with a 200/10 ISP service with an R1 and a XR500 routers. Zero issues.
 
Always contact your ISP to see what they officially support first.
 
The TC 7610 is a 8x4 modem. Is capable of a bit over 300Mb however some ISP like to use more channels for higher speeds. So with mine using 200/10, my modems are 24x8 channel modems. My ISP recommends using the 24x8 modems over 8x4 for faster or higher speed tiers. All depends on what ISP implement and required for there systems to work at speeds on there networks. Review what your ISP requires for there networks.
 
If you keep the 200 speed tier, get in to a 24x8 channel modem. It's up to you want to down grade. Speed depends on your needs. UP Link is more important than download.
