C6250-100NAS model --can this be configured to work with Century Link 100?
Thinking of switching to Century Link fiber. They're offering 100mbps, price locked, no contract for $65 compared to the 50mpbs I'm paying with Cox and they're increasing the cost every year. Wo...

You can't use the C6250. Netgear C6250: Cable-TV. Zyxel C3000Z:
DSL.

Note the (green) telephone connector. That does not mean that you
must use the CenturyLink-supplied device. Netgear (among others) offers
various DSL modems/routers which might work, depending on which DSL
features you'll be using.
# VDSL2 (G.993.2) Bonding
- 200Mbps/100Mbps* down/up data rates
- Bonding mode: 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 12a, 12b,
17a profiles
I don't remember seeing a Netgear DSL gizmo which handles "bonding".
(Which is not a nonexistence proof.)
Thanks for the reply.
Since I'll have to buy a new router, I'd rather get something better then spending the $150 on the Zyxel C3000Z. I was told that the NETGEAR - Nighthawk X4S Wireless-AC Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router - Black - Model: R7800-100NAS will work with Century Link Fiber. I was also thinking of the NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit WiFi Router (R8000) - "R8000-100NAS".
Any opinions on those 2 Netgear routers. My install is set for next Thursday.
