I am thinking of replacing my Comcast issued Modem/Router with Zoom 5350. We will use it for internet TV (Roku)...Will this help in streaming? Comcast modem is very slow and unreliable.

We use the Zoom 5350 for both wifi and connecting it to our dvd player for streaming Netflix movies and it handles it flawlessly.

The Zoom router does just as good a job as the more expensive Motorola and Netgear modem/routers. My signal strength for wireless wasn't as strong as I wanted so I bought a signal booster and now I have no problem streaming through all my devices upstairs and downstairs.

I'm on Cox Cable and internet . The Zoom works fine for streaming. I use an Apple TV and stream Netflix, Hulu+, etc. and it works just fine.

Comcast tech support told me this was the modem to buy if I wanted to own rather than rent their modem. Once I got the modem, Comcast gave me no end of troubles in trying to register its MAC address and get it working. Comcast said I had to use their modems because of their custom programming, which I do NOT believe. I also have phones via Comcast VOIP, so I gave in and returned the modem and rent one from Comcast--which I hate having had to do. I read someone else's review and he said this modem worked with Comcast. He many not have also had voice. Sorry for a not better definitive answer.

Here is what I found out having just bought one (10/30/14). I was able to go on-line to Comcast after connecting the modem to the cable and a network cable directly to a notebook computer.The modem provisioned without any issues.The phone service work fine to.Here is the hitch...While there are no problems with the modem and it shows up on Comcast's OK modem list I found out the modem is still undergoing testing and not fully supported yet. This means you should be able to get standard internet speeds but if you have the higher speed blast service it will only transfer at standard speeds. They told me this should be fixed within a month... we will see ;) Here is what I found out having just bought one (10/30/14).

The one that I had purchased did not work with Comcast for me. I was on the phone with them for well over an hour & the bottom line in my application it was a NO GO. It did not work & I bought another brand & it was golden. I bought this brand/model... Arris Tm722g Cable Modem Docsis 3.0However & do not believe & spent that much...

This wireless router has Ethernet connections only, which means that you'd have to connect it to your cable/fiberoptic modem provided by Comcast. If you already have a modem with Ethernet output, then this should work just fine for you.

Yes, absolutely.. although you should probably disable the Comcast wireless feature and hard-wire the modem to the router for best throughput. You might want to consider returning it to Comcast, though, and just invest in a new cable modem that's optimized for the AC features (DOCSIS 3.0).. unless the Comcast modem is already DOCSIS 3.0 capable. Note that DOCSIS 3.1 is due out in 2014, but I doubt you would want to wait that long.

I used this to do a MoCa network for my Tivo. I tried to upgrade my splitters to 2GHZ Monster splitters and I started to have my internet modem drop out every so often. I use Comcast, A Comcast tech came out and said 2GHZ was not needed so he replaced both of them with there own 1000 MHZ splitters. It has only been about a week and a half and no drops so far. The connection does include the same POE Filter both times. As far as the MoCa networking signal I have had no problems when the modem has been up and have had a great signal with no pixellating or judders in watching tv shows from one Tivo to another Tivo in a different room. I hope this descrikption helps I used this to do a MoCa network for my Tivo. I tried to upgrade my splitters to 2GHZ Monster splitters and I started to have my internet modem drop out every so often.

I have not had any problems with speed use laptop / I-pad while streaming movies thru roku box with no problems. I would make sure your Internet provider speed is acceptable.

I have been using this modem with Comcast without issue. I just had to call them and give them the unit's mac address and wait on the line for a few minutes while granted access. After that I returned their modem and reduced my month bill by $5.

I am using mine to stream roku and it works flawlessly. It has to do with signal strength. If you are getting a strong signal you should be fine. The web site and manual says 70 is optimum strength but I get 62 to 65 and my connection and speed re really great.

Mine slowed WAAAY down after a while. Worked initially...I just bought a SurfBoard after this and have had no problem. Comcast says this model is not 100% compatible.

seems to be working now but Comcast had a lot of difficulty adding it to their system. I would try a "ubee" instead since that seems to be the make they are distributing. But I have no technical training and have no idea how it might perform.

This is a gigabit router... I seriously doubt your internet provider will outgrow this modem anytime soon... :)My old crappy router that I rented from Xfinity was a megabit router... Old technology... I'm very pleased with this router...

YES!!! Called Cox customer support and gave them serial number and details of unit. They were very helpful and not concerned that this is a 3rd party router (not their leased unit). Router does drop signal to wireless laptop every once in a while but easy to reconnect. I use wireless to connect two televisions (Netflix via Roku) and a couple of laptops and iPads. Signal is strong and haven't seen any problems with buffering on Netflix/Amazon streaming video.

I don't know understand your question. I used this for Comcast cable here in Maryland until my service started having problems. Not sure if it was this modem or something with Comcast signals. But I've since purchased another modem and Comcast works fine. Hope this response helps

This product does not have an integrated modem, if that is your question. It will still function as router and switch if you pair it with a dedicated modem for your internet provider, but it is not an all in one gateway device for Comcast. If that is what you want try something listed on the Comcast website. http://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/comcast-supported-routers-gateways-adapters/

It works well for my media streaming via YouTube and all other online streaming I have done. You'll have to confer with Comcast regarding usability with their network.
