giga bit Modem router combe with voice
I am trying to replace my gigabit modem from Comcast-Xfinity with a modem+router+voice. I have looked at several that say gigabit, but they also say good for upto 400 mbps. I am a bit confused. Doe...
1. there isn't a combo device like that that goes to 2 gig. currently. maybe in the future.
2. The voice option throws a wrench in it if you're wanting a modem/router/voice combo device. the fastest modem/router/voice device currently is the C7100v. but its not docsis 3.1 so you won't find gigabit for it in the vast majority of markets.
Your best bet? buy a modem with voice. There's the cm1150v that supports >1gig service and voice. then you just need to buy a router.
In my experience its better to seperate them anyway as then you control your routers firmware. its a little more $ to buy but if something goes bad, you're not out the larger more expensive single device. Plus you can upgrade seperate device
