ARRIS SURFboard G18 Cable Modem WiFi 6 Router DOCSIS 3.1 AX1800 Stop Renting

•     Your cable company charges up to $168 a year just to rent this device — owning the ARRIS G18 instead means it pays for itself in under a year and then saves you money every single month for the life of the modem.

•     DOCSIS 3.1 plus Wi-Fi 6 is the current top tier of cable networking technology — faster speeds, lower latency, and future-proof compatibility with every gig-speed internet plan your provider currently offers or will offer.

•     No technician visit, no complicated setup — plug it in, open the SURFboard Central App, call your cable provider with the MAC address, and your home network is upgraded and running at full speed the same day it arrives.

Your cable company charges up to $14 a month just to rent a modem you'll never own. The ARRIS SURFboard G18 pays for itself and then keeps saving you money, month after month, for years.

This DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem and Wi-Fi 6 Router combo replaces two separate devices — your rented modem and your standalone router — with one sleek, fast, ISP-approved unit. Plug it in, activate with your cable provider's app, and you're online at gigabit speeds within minutes. No technician visit. No monthly fee. No more paying rent on hardware you'll never own.

Key Features

•     Eliminate Monthly Modem Rental Fees — Permanently → Cable providers charge $10–$14 per month for modem rentals — that's up to $168 per year for hardware you'll never own. The ARRIS G18 replaces your rented equipment, pays for itself in under a year, and continues saving you money for the entire lifespan of the device. The math is straightforward: own once, save forever.

•     DOCSIS 3.1 — Future-Proof Gigabit Technology → DOCSIS 3.1 is the current top tier of cable modem technology, delivering up to 10 Gbps downstream theoretical throughput and dramatically lower latency than DOCSIS 3.0. With 32 downstream × 8 upstream DOCSIS 3.0 channels plus 2 downstream × 2 upstream OFDM DOCSIS 3.1 channels, the G18 supports any gig-speed internet plan your cable provider currently offers — and will continue to support next-generation speed tiers as they roll out.

•     AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 — Faster, Further, and Less Congested → The integrated dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) router delivers AX1800 combined speeds — 600 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1,200 Mbps on 5 GHz. Wi-Fi 6's OFDMA technology handles multiple devices simultaneously with dramatically less interference than Wi-Fi 5, which means your 4K streams, video calls, and gaming sessions all stay smooth even when the whole household is online at once.

•     Two 1 Gbps Ethernet Ports — Wired Speed When It Matters → Two full-speed Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports let you hardwire a gaming PC, smart TV, or NAS drive for zero-latency wired performance. Wired Ethernet eliminates Wi-Fi variability entirely — ideal for competitive gaming or a home office workstation where every millisecond counts.

•     Broad ISP Compatibility — Pre-Approved and Ready to Activate → Certified by CableLabs and individually tested and approved by Comcast Xfinity, Charter Spectrum, Cox, and 15+ additional cable internet providers including Mediacom, WOW, RCN, Midcontinent, CableOne/Sparklight, and more. Simply call your provider, give them the modem's MAC address (printed on the back), and you're activated — no technician visit required. Not compatible with fiber, DSL, or satellite internet.

•     SURFboard Central App — Set Up in Minutes → Download the free SURFboard Central App, plug in your modem, and follow the step-by-step activation guide. The app manages your Wi-Fi network, provides real-time device monitoring, includes parental controls (screen time limits, internet pause by device), and allows guest network management — all from your phone.
