Help Xfinity modem and wifi purchase
I need someone smarter than me to give me some advice on purchase I want to buy my own equipment and stop renting from Comcast I will have around 6-7 devices streaming between tvs, phones/tablets/p...
I would go with the CM1000 or the CM1100 versus the CM1200. Its more of a business modem than consumer. For xfinity, only ports 1 & 2 will be able to be used unless you pay for a business line/multiple public ip addresses.
The cm1100 gives you the same dual ethernet configuration incase you want to do wan port aggregation. I'd avoid it because it seems like many manufacturers have issues with it but the option is always there.
And I'd highly recommend orbi. I have the Orbi AC setup with multiple satellites and love it. I've never used the AX setup but the AC has been great in my 3200sqft home.
