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...
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.
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?
Its tough. Whenever there's a new product, you're going to have some bad ones. And you always see issues on forums/reviews because thats were you go when you have issues.
Can't even guess on what on in their case. I'd buy from somewhere with a decent return policy and if it didn't work for you, return in. I can say I've got an CAX80 and its been solid for me

Good move to read Amazon reviews.
They are likely to be less furious than the things that appear here. People turn up here with problems, not plaudits.
Anything newer than your existing box will be an improvement.
Bargains are best had by avoiding the bleeding edge and going for "last year's model".
