I’m one of those hard headed people that wanted to find out for myself if the wifi would work. Nope. I have TWC but I don’t think that was the problem. The wifi didn’t light up period.
However the internet did work. Go figure.

Contacted internet provider to assist with install and serial numbers and passwords were not applicable to the unit I received. It was confusing as to how the serial numbers on the manufactures box matched the serial numbers on the unit, but the internal cards were not a match. Frontier says this probably happened at the assembly line. Frontier was not able to assist in getting the unit compatable albeit this modem is on their approved list.
