CM2000 compatibility with TP-Link router
I am looking at buying my own cable modem for use with my Astound/RCN service. I currently have 1gig service, with an option to upgrade to 1.5gig. My router is a TP-Link AXE7800. When I had my cu...
Kitsap is exactly correct at directing you.
From my experience, I haven't had any issues between tp-link and netgear. I don't have that specific router (and I doubt the tech did either) but none of mine had been an issue.
You should be able to use pretty much any router with the cm2000 (if cm2000 is compatible with your service).
Whatever your modem choice, make sure you get a good quality Ethernet cable to connect between the modem and router. Currently available from Amazon, a shielded twisted pair (STP) Cat 6A would work well.
I upgraded to my current router and to 1 gig internet at the same time, so I also bought a nice pair of Cat8 flat cables to go with them.
I did check both the links you provided. Unfortunately the DSLReports site is very limited in the RCN/Astound section. I also went to the TP-Link forums but found next to nothing about my current router, and just a bit on general compatibility.
I think I'm just going to have to go for it and see how it turns out.Try to choose a vendor that has a decent return window/policy.
Good luck.
