Netgear WiFi router/modem combo PLEASE HELP!!!
I am in serious need of a new modem/router combo ASAP, DOCSIS 3.1, either dual or tri band, for WiFi 6+ 6E to be able to handle up to 1G with capability to transition and handle WiFi 7 (firmware?). A...
Take a look at what your ISP supports for stand lone modems. Netgear's CM series model modems are all stand alone. CM2000 series being most available and released to the market. There is a CM3000 that's been on the burner however not due out anytime soon. Not sure when either. That's up to NG and they don't give that info out.
Something CM series if your ISP supports it and then a Orbi MESH system mentioned earlier or if you need a bit cheaper mesh system, review the Nighthawk MK90 series system.
Thank you.
As previously stated, I already use a mesh system. DECO W7200.
Would a stand-alone modem (CM2000 if ISP supports) with my current DECO W7200 be better or would a modem/router Combo (Netgear) with the same mesh system (DECO W7200) be best? Whhich would deliver the highest speeds?
The CM2000 series has 2.5Gb WAN port so there rated for ISP speeds up to this rate. CM1000/11/12 series are 1Gb WAN ports.
You can use your current mesh system behind the CM modem. Can't tell for sure if it has a 1Gb WAN port or 2.5Gb. Would work connected to the CM modem.I'd wait just a little bit. You might not have mid/high split yet but its being rolled out. And the only approved ones from netgear for high split is the CM3000 (not released yet) and the CBK750 (not gig+ capable). I'd hold off on buying one for a little bit until their list is update.
I have used the Arris G54 and its solid to use but if you're needing a mesh system, then its not a great candidate.
MIght be worth holding off a little if you're needing/wanting all those features.
