will this replace Comcast Xfinity phone, TV and wireless internet TG862 with out any adaptions so I can stop paying a rental fee for theirs?

If you purchase the TG862 you do not have pay the monthly $ rental fees. This unit will work for internet (wired & wireless) & telephone ONLY. I don't about the TV I think you need TV receiver. The TG862 comes with back up battery which last about 45 minutes or hour for the small battery and a larger size battery is available for a onlger time. Since I have Vonage (which cheaper rates for international & domestic calls and you can search best incentive when you sign up. I have no problem and they even transcribed message to my email when I miss a call). I bought a external UPS power supply because I had a power outage which lasted 4 hours and I don't want to reprpgram the Modem again. Hopw this helps.

It is a wireless router for internet access; MTA for a phone and a cable modem all in one, which basically means you dont have to pay rental for the phone, tv and internet devices.Thanks

Phone and internet, yes. TV, you will still need to rent the Comcast HD box...

I live in northern ca..and i found that the modem part worked, but comcast could not get the phone to operate...

It worked for me. I suggest calling Comcast first, however, to confirm that. There is a Comcast website that lists all the acceptable modems. Make sure it shows up. You also have to spend a few minutes on the phone with Comcast to change over. It is not simply switching it out. So, get the info first. It has been too long since I did it to recall all the particulars. Make sure the unit you buy has rechargeable batteries for backup. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have the TG862G and I run XFinity phone, wired and wireless internet. I don't pay rent anymore for modem and router. TV requires a separate digital cable box supplied by Comcast. Some configuration may be required, which Comcast Support will not help you with. I was able to resolve my iphone5 connectivity issues by going to online forums. Everything is working fine now.

I am in Illinois and Comcast tech. said to buy the Arris TM 722g from Best Buy, but not a single one of those stores within 100 miles has it (what a surprise). That's why I wondered if this one would work. I have the phone and internet pkg.

I think that it probably would but in ordering one to replace an identical unit so I could be free of a monthly fee of rental and free WiFi Time warner wanted us to daisy chain the two of these identical units together and would NOT cooperate in activating it so I returned it. You had better check with your cable supplier before ordering and ask more than just the first person you talk to.

I can't say for sure. I checked Cox's site, and they list only a handful of devices, and DON'T list this particular one (Linksys DPC 3008-C) I bought, as an approved replacement (although, that doesn't mean it won't work!). Many cable (ISP) providers want you to either rent or purchase your equipment from them, so rarely do they include models that they DON'T sell themselves. My apologies for not having a more definitive answer, but I have Comcast....an entirely different animal altogether. As much as I hate to say it, you may have to call their tech services dept., wait on hold for an hour or two, before you can actually get an accurate answer.

Your statement also describes my situation of have Comcast as a provider of TV, Internet and telephone. I bought and have successfully used the Arris TM822G Touchstone® for a number of months now. I did have to have a Comcast technician come out and do some final installation before the telephone would work.

That is complete b.s. I have been using a TM722g in the San Mateo area for over a year. I have screaming fast internet speeds via Comcast (120mbps) and no monthly equipment fees. From day one it has worked flawlessly and there have been no issues whatsoever.

Not sure if its te same, but Im sure you can use it, I use Charter as my Internet provider and I bought this modem and it works perfectly and im saving $7.00 a month.

It wont be free but the fee will be minimal. You will need to lease a cable card from your cable company, usually only a couple of dollars a month. With that the dvrs from twc and comcast are pointless.

In my opinion, it has worked the same as comcast's modem; I'm happy that I bought this and got rid of the $7 month charge from comcast because that's a ridiculous monthly charge. :-)

No, this modem does not support comcast phone. I am using Magic Jack Plus for my home phone. It works great for me that I don't have to pay monthly phone bill any more. I hope this will help your concern! Young Lo.

Not only can you, you should! I went from a Arris TG862G to this modem, and although the specs are similar, the performance has been a huge improvement. Further, if you are renting, it will pay its cost back in 13 months - and as this is a newer product, you will likely have it for years.Also, as a PS - Comcast had no problem accepting this device

i have my internet provider's modem, can i replace it with this so i could have wifi?
2010637
Unless Comcast it's offering dsl then no. This is strictly a dsl modem. You would want to search for a cable modem.

No this was a replacement for a modem on comcast. I had been renting with them for a long time at $7.00 a month. They gave me a hard time to get it installed, but once installed, it works great. It is the same brand and unit that I was renting from them.

You should be able to call and talk with a Comcast tech to get your answer. I use Charter and their onsite tech person offered to setup mine.

I am TWC customer, though the device is the same as the one they have in their inventory, for some odd reason it doesn't support thier VOIP. I just happened to go to their customer service in my city and brought up the question again. She told me to keep my device for my network and ask them for a free modem for your phone. I don't know if the same applies to Comcast.I hope this will help. Happy New Year.
