Overview
Cable internet subscribers on Xfinity, Cox or Spectrum get a modem and a Wi-Fi router combined in one Motorola unit. It links to the cable line, then shares the connection over wired Ethernet ports and Wi-Fi to consoles, TVs, cameras and phones.
Folding the modem and router into one box cuts the cable clutter and the number of power plugs at the network corner. Key details such as the DOCSIS version and Wi-Fi standard are missing from the specs, which makes plan matching harder.
Who it's for
Households on Xfinity, Cox or Spectrum cable plans that want one device feeding gaming consoles, smart TVs and phones are its audience. Fiber and DSL subscribers should look elsewhere, since the modem type is cable.
Pros and cons
- Modem and router in one box
- Approved for Xfinity, Cox and Spectrum
- Four ports listed for wired devices
- Ethernet cable and power adapter included
- Cable internet service only
- Limited to three named providers
- DOCSIS version and Wi-Fi standard not in specs
Performance notes
Real speed depends first on the cable plan and the signal on the line, then on how the Wi-Fi reaches each room from wherever the box is placed. Wired devices on the Ethernet ports avoid the wireless hop and get the steadiest connection.
