the product install fairly easily , except Comcast could not see it - though it do not help to mistake a d for a zero on the id\/serial number when I call to report it as not work . -lrb- Comcast have to `` register '' the new one and remove the replace one from its database . -rrb- it do not seem as hot -lrb- temperature -rrb- compare with what some review have say . I really have not notice any speed improvement , then again , I have not be streaming video or download a lot of datum , and most of my use be wireless which be the primary reason for anything slow . I mostly get it so I would be ipv6 ready , and for the docsy 3 . x -lrb- Comcast keep call about upgrade , and they may insulate user from have to be ipv6 capable , similar to you router give you computer a IP that be different than the one you isp give you connection\/modem . -rrb- I receive it in a appropriate time . packaging be real simple . the only thing I really do not like be that the activity light flash orange -lrb- the bottom lead in the product 's photo -rrb- when orange normally tell I `` warn '' . I give the product 4 of 5 due to the orange led and because I have not notice any speed improvement . -lrb- I should have run a before\/after speed test ! -rrb-
