Arris Surfboard SB6183
Unlike most cable modems, the Arris Surfboard 6183 is available in two colors, allowing you to pick the one that best suits your taste. In either case, you can count on a reliable performance and a long-lasting build, which is guaranteed by a two-year warranty.
With 16 downstream and four upstream channels, this modem is more than capable of keeping your busy network connected to the internet. In our hands-on tests, it performed as predicted.
The color-coded status LEDs on the Arris Surfboard 6183 are a feature we found extremely useful. Instead of merely showing that it's connected, its uplink and downlink icons glow different colors depending on the connection quality. On the forward-facing status screen of every other modem we examined, there was a LAN indicator. On the SB6183, the LAN indicator has been replaced by an Ethernet port status light, which is more easily accessible for diagnostics.
