Overview
A home on cable internet can replace a separate modem and router with this one box, which combines a DOCSIS cable modem and a dual-band Wi-Fi router. Wired devices plug into its Ethernet ports and wireless devices connect through fixed antennas.
Combining modem and router cuts the clutter and the number of devices to restart when service drops. Wi-Fi is the older ac generation, and the coverage figure suits a modest home. A provider account may need the modem's MAC address registered before it connects.
Who it's for
Apartments and mid-sized homes on Xfinity, Cox or Spectrum cable plans get modem and router in a single unit. Households on fiber or DSL, or in a large house beyond the listed coverage, need different gear.
Pros and cons
- Modem and router in one box
- Certified with major cable providers
- Channel bonding helps during peak hours
- App control and WPS support
- Older ac Wi-Fi generation
- Works only with cable internet service
- Coverage limited for large homes
- MAC address registration may be required
Performance notes
Download speed during busy hours depends on how many downstream channels the modem bonds, and this unit bonds a wide set, which spreads traffic. Wireless speed is governed by the ac standard and distance from the box, since the antennas are fixed and cannot be aimed. The provider plan sets the ceiling either way.
