Our verdict

A modem and router combo for Cox cable customers with gigabit ports and USB sharing. Its WiFi standard is old, so modern phones and laptops will not reach high wireless speeds.

Overview

Not a standalone router, this NETGEAR unit combines a cable modem with a WiFi router and multi-port gigabit switch. It plugs into the coax line and shares a USB drive across the network.

Cox customers can retire a rented modem and router with one box that has wired ports and USB sharing. Its older WiFi standard limits wireless speeds and range in a modern home.

Who it's for

Small homes on Cox with mostly wired devices suit this combo. Busy wireless households should choose a newer WiFi standard.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Modem and router in one box
  • Four gigabit Ethernet ports
  • USB storage sharing
  • Parental controls and guest network
Cons
  • Older WiFi standard
  • Warranty not applicable per listing
  • Only Cox named for compatibility

Performance notes

Wireless speed is capped by the older WiFi standard, while wired devices on the gigabit ports get the full plan speed. The cable modem section bonds channels for downloads, so the provider plan sets the ceiling.
