CM1200 not working with wireless routers
I went from cox's 150 internet service to their gigablast service yesterday. I knew I was going to need a new modem as my old one wasn't 3.1. I purchased the Netgear CM1200 and got it setup. My compu...
"I usually recommend the cm1000 or cm1200 for most home users. they're the same basic modem internally. "
should I take the Cm1200 back and get the cm 1000 then? There is a price difference and if they are the same with the exception of the ports in the back--which I'm now not using--then is there any advantage to keeping the CM1200 over a CM1000?
Sorry, I mistyped. I usually recommend the cm1000 or cm1100. I'd look at either of these. The only benefit to going more than the cm1000 is if you plan on using port aggreation or getting speeds >1gig. Some ISP's over provision their modems 20% (not sure about yours) so some like the wan port aggregation for this.
CM1000-single port, gigabit
CM1100-2 port for wan port aggregation. Up to 2gig speeds with wan port aggregation. Or for isp's that supple 2 ip addresses
CM1200-4 port, 2 can be used for wan port aggregation. or for isp's that supply up to 4 ip addresses.
