3400 is not a Netgear model number. There is the WNDR3400 from 2010.
I have the 500 mbps plan w/ Xfinity and needless to say, was not getting anything close. So, I upgraded the modem to a Hitron Coda, activated it w/Xfinity and my HW laptop is great.
The CM600, from 2015, should be able to handle 500 Mbps. But the WNDR3400 has 100 Mbps LAN ports while the CM600 can put out 1 Gbps.
So you may have upgraded the wrong bit of your network.
Then there is the Hitron Coda. Which one? A basic modem or a modem/router?
Since I've also ordered a new router (Asus RT-AX1800s) which won't arrive until late tonight, should I just give up attempting to get the Netgear router to connect?
Probably. You may even find that you don't need the Hitron Coda. The CM600 might even be a better option.
Thanks for the response!
Yes, the old modem was a netgear CM600 & the router is/was netgear N600 wndr3400. The issue was really slow speeds (both HW & WIFI), with almost non existent coverage to one room diagonal to the computer room. Speed & coverage were getting worse (I even tried an extender for coverage).
New modem is Coda (no model number on box it came in, or on the modem itself), it says 3.1 Docsis cable modem.
The new router is the ASUS which hasn't arrived yet.
From what you are saying though, is that the current Netgear router SHOULD work when connected to the new modem, yes?
It also irks me that I can't log into either the modem or netgear firmware, but that's another story I suppose.
