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...
If you have land line services with your ISP then the CM1150v will be something to review. However this is just a modem only, you'll need a external router, such as a R, RAX, XR or Obbi wifi system to connect to the CM modem.
Some modems support near 2Gb on two WAN ports however be aware you not see this down stream from the modem. Most you'll see currently is 900Mpbs. You can share a 2Gb service line after the modem, however since ALL wire LAN ports are limited to 1000Mbps, you'll not see speeds over wire much past 900Mpbs.

I am a bit confused. Does anyone know the best gigabit+modem+router+voice to look at. Idealy I would like one that goes up to 2 gb.
Thanks everybody. I think I found what I needed. The deal isn't so much the speed as it is access. The modem, router with voice supplied by Xfinity only as two ethernet connections. I need 4. The one I bought has 4 plus 2 phone ports and goes upto 2 gigabits. Added to that, I am tired of paying rent on a POS.
What did you get?
Yes not having to pay rent on something that doesn't work well is good.
FYI, you can always add more ports by installing a Gb LAN switch.
I got one recommended by Comcast for my set-up. I got the Motorola MT771 24X8 DOCSIS 3.0 AC1900 Dual Band WiFi gigabit Router with Voice.
It was recommended by Comcast for my set up. I already have a Gigabit switch incase I need more than 4 ports, but I didn't want extra equipment sitting on my station unless I had to.
- Just an fyi, that device will max out at 600mbps speed through comcast.
But I hope it works great for you!
I've tested a similar arris before and it worked great.
