From my experience with 3.1 modems they were a bit wonky... so unless you absolutely need it, I wouldn't do it

The difference is the packaging... One is a retail box and one is a brown box Also, yes... More speed isn't always better

OMG so today I got to try out Comcast gigabit service. What a mess! The modem is an Arris TG3482G, which if you do a google search the first result pretty much explains it. Speed and ping issues like crazy. One second you'll hit 700 Mbps, the next you can barely reach 50 Mbps. Reboot the modem, speeds are back again. Ping shoot up to 3,000 ms randomly. Multiple Comcast techs and I verified that the signals are perfect so that's not an issue. Plus the modem/router only has TWO ethernet ports on it. Who gets gigabit speeds and only runs 2 wired devices to it? What a joke! Lol TL;DR - Don't get an Arris TG3482G modem for Comcast gigabit. Other gigabit modems may be fine.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/09/intel_puma_modem_woes/ So like I said, this pretty much covers ALL Arris modems released since 2010 when Intel bought out Texas Instruments to use their chips. Which is why modems like the SB6141 are on the list also.

He won't cause comcast doesn't offer it and never will... Go with the 7610 and stay far away from Arris.

Don't listen to anyone else here, buy the TP-Link TC-7610
-
Trust me, you don't want me to do that.
-
You mean the issue that I've been saying is a problem all along? And you and everyone else is telling me that I'm wrong about. Yeah I know, I'm the expert.
-
It's too early to tell. 3.1 isn't available here for me to personally test it, but again I just don't like Arris anymore after all the testing I've done as well as their patch job to "fix" the Puma 6 May I ask which modems are on the list that you disagree with? Almost all of them were taken from lists on DSLR which are using Puma 6's or have been tested by me or members and proven to be crap for gaming and/or with the Netduma
-
I still don't like Arris anymore though
-
Thank you.
-
Yeah because data is only sent at 2.5 second intervals on the internet :rolls eyes:
-
Did you read the links that he posted? Lol
-
Just to add on to what I said before... It's the same reason why the R1 can't handle very high bandwidth well. It's hardware flaws which cannot be fixed through software. Not bashing the router in any way.
-
And just the fact that Arris is doing this just to make it appear that the problem is fixed just shows how shady they are and I would never buy another Arris modem again.
-
Not biased at all, just common sense. You can't fix a hardware problem with software. You can only put a bandaid on it as a patch job to cover it up. But the problem is still there, you're just dancing around it. Some great info just posted above this. You should definitely read it.
-
Yeah it will always stay on the bad list, along with every other modem that has an Intel Puma 6 chip. I don't care what updates they do or what tests people run, the chip sucks and I will not encourage anyone to buy garbage. Besides that it's made by Arris, which has a bad enough track record with me.

-
It's worth it, sell the sb6141 for the price of the new one to someone else. Craigslist or ebay it
-
It's a solid modem. Just curious who is your ISP? I had the 6141 and it was a world of problems. I wouldn't use anything that's Arris/Motorola.
-
That'll work for today, until someone else has a problem with it lol I updated the main post also
