What are the differences Between the R6250 and the C6250 Cable / Modem / Routers?
What are the differences Between the R6250 and the C6250 Cable / Modem / Routers? I'm shopping for a New Cable Modem so as to circumnavigate TWC's Monthly Cable Modem Fees. I have one picked out but ...
You are not alone in this quest.

The second one has a list of "approved" modems, but as well as netwrks's ever sound advice, it might also be worth saying that any lists of compatible modems that ISPs, or other websites, provide are quite likely to be out of date.
You would do well to sound out other customers of your ISP to see if anyone has managed to use one of the modems that you fancy even if it isn't on these lists.
I also own one C6250.
Do you think is possible to transform C6250 into a R6250? Or at least to us it as a wifi repeater?
R6250 is a router, no modem.
Some modems can work as "modem only". But even you can do it with the C6250 it has only two LAN ports on the back.
What is it that you want to achieve?
I want to put my C6250 as a wifi transmitter, connected with cable at my fiberlink ONT modem which has really bad wifi.
