I’m evaluating purchase of C7800 for use on xfinity. Best Buy is offering the 200nas at lower cost than the 100nas. B&H Photo is only offering the 100nas at the original MSRP. Amazon has decent price but does not specify 200nas or 100nas. It would seem that the 200 would be the latest technology but Netgear site does not give detail of these 2 models. So, before I purchase, any more thoughts?

According to previous posts nas100 is version one, where as nas200 is their version two. At this point I would add why buy that when if it's not a major outage, I'd wait for a 802.11ax version which I think will be sooner than later.

urgent your need might be.Another thing to consider is that "newer" and "better" are spelled
differently for a reason. You can expect a "v<N+1>" model to cost less
to manufacture than a "v<N>" model; there's no particular reason to
expect any other kind of improvement. For example, I've seen no
evidence for the D7000v2 being better in any way than the D7000[v1].

Good advice on the ax version. Thanks.
