I've had 3 other versions of the iPad - the first, second generation and iPad Air. This 2017 128GB iPad with WiFi is the absolute best. I just upgraded it to iOS 11 and the new features are awesome. Camera is really cool on this one too. I love watching videos on it. Its basically more powerful than my computer. I haven't had one problem. Had one app that crashed a lot but it turned out it needed to be updated and it was just a game by some other company.
All in all I highly recommend having an iPad. They're super useful and super reliable. Oh and they come with iWork now so you can make word processing documents, spreadsheets and presentations right on your iPad. I even bought a bluetooth keyboard to go with it. Got the Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Keyboard 2 from Best Buy with my iMac and they work with my iPad too. But I still got a tiny one that fits in my iPad case for travel.
Had a problem with an iPad or iPhone. Just turn it off and then back on again and your problem is usually solved. I try to do that once a week anyway just to avoid ever having a problem.
Oh and the battery lasts a long time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you don't need WiFi combo'ed in with your cable modem this is a totally sufficient product to choose. It is compatible with the new DOCSIS 3.0 service most cable companies are pushing (basically so you can get the higher speeds like 100mbps) and it's extremely simple to install. All you do is plug in your cables and one computer, call your cable company and they walk you thru setup. They also register the MAC address. Buy this modem and avoid paying for an equipment fee. Any WiFi router will work in conjunction with it. Net gear and Asus are good. That setup is easy too especially if you read the instructions, but my cable company even offered to help me set that up too. And remember neither piece of equipment is rented from them. Saving money is awesome and I didn't need to spend more on the newer modem of this modem.

Apple TV® - Black

Apple TV has a ton of apps. It hardly took any time to set up. It automatically recognized my iPhone, iPad and MacBook and I'm able to stream from those as well as the Windows PC's on my network. Apple does a lot of things well and the Apple TV is one of its most stable easy to use products. There are a lot of "cord cutter" apps like HBO Now, Showtime Now, Hulu Plus, etc. With an Apple TV you don't even really need cable! Just pay for Netflix and Hulu and maybe HBO Now and you'll never want for something to watch.

I am planning to buy the SBG6580 modemnto replace the SBG860A that I am currently renting from TWC. How reliable is the SBG6580 modem? Should the SBG6580 increase my internet speed?
This modem/wifi router combo is great. Your internet speed is dependent on the package you sign up for. This equipment is compatible with the higher speeds but doesn't speed things up on its own. If you've got a ton of devices, kids, or stream a lot - signing up for a plan that offers speeds of 50mbps (megabits per second) or more is suggested. 100mbps is awesome. But if it's just you and you have 1-5 devices in a small/medium house/apartment you could get away with any speed over 20mbps and be very pleased.
If the house is large and you have signal issues/slow speeds after your first week (despite being on a nice 50mbps internet speed plan) - look into a WiFi repeater or signal amplifier. (Like the netgear ac1200)
This Arris SBG 6580 modem/ router combo is great for all the below scenarios too:
I always suggest 50mbps plans for multitaskers, streamers and gamers. Families with more than 1 kid using 1 or more devices - 50mbps or more.

will the sb 6141 arris modem work with windows 10 on comcast internet
Yes. It absolutely should. Windows 10 is you're computers operating system. It's not picky about the type of modem you use. I've heard of folks having issues with very old wifi routers and Windows 10 but not this modem. Should you need a wifi router look at Comcast's website for equipment suggestions or call them. Basically Wireless N routers are best for products designed-for or preloaded with Windows 10. A wireless b/g router may not work very well. But as far as modems go this should be just fine. Comcast should have a suggested modem list on their website as well. Perhaps under support.
Or if you want to simplify and get one device for your modem and wifi router try the product I suggested here. The price is right and you'll still save money over the term of your contract because you won't pay equipment fees or the taxes associated with those fees.
