Comparable to C3700
I'd like to know which Netgear wifi modem router is comparable to my current one which is model C3700. It maxes out to 300 mps, but I'd like to increase to 400 mb since my internet provider has upgr...
Thanks for the input, and I have XFinity.
Xfinity is compatible with quite a few netgear modems.
Are you wanting to separate out the modem from the router?
or a combo device?
Also, are you looking at upgrading to wireless AX (wifi 6) or sticking with wireless AC?
I want to stick with a combo device for now, and Wireless AC, but I need at least two ethernet ports in the back since I have two home desktop computers networked together. Thanks again.

Any modem/router from Netgear will come with at least four Ethernet ports on the back.
If it doesn't then it may well be a modem only device.
michaelkenward Well, my Netgear C3700 only has two ethernet ports, and it is a modem/router combo.
If you're wanting wireless AC but an upgrade to docsis 3.1, the C7800 is a solid device. its still an AC device but does support up to gigabit speeds.
Although you might find the CAX30 cheaper than the C7800. The CAX is newer and an AX device.
plemans Thank you, the CAX30 appears to be better for me since I'd like to keep the cost down as low as I can for now, while getting what I need.
I was reading some reviews on Amazon, and a few people were saying they were having a nightmare of a time keeping their wireless devices connected to it, even after firmware updates, etc. If you observe them HERE, pay close attention to Ryan's and also Jonathon's reviews because you can tell that both of them are very tech savvy, but still couldn't get it to work properly. I know there are more positive reviews than negative, but still, I'd hate to have to go through what they did. What are you thoughts on what happened in their case?
