Modem suggestion for xfinity (alien.top)

Greetings everyone. I’m getting a new connection from xfinity in my apartment. I’m getting the 75Mbps plan. They say they will charge $15 per month for renting their equipment. But I don’t want the burden of paying extra money. So decided to get my own modem and router. I’m not sure which modem to buy. Need suggestion from you guys. Thank you.

Anything on the Comcast certified list will do. I got a refurb Arris 6190 and get 400 out of it. No problem, reliable and low latency. It isn’t going to be supported forever, but nor will any modem. I paid about $35, easy to provision with the (very mediocre) Comcast app.

The Arris SB8200 is a good modem. The TP-Link Archer AX55 should work well for you. You might be able to get the "Renewed" versions at cheaper prices on Amazon.
