Netgear n750 router
Is the n750 router compatible with the arris sb6183 modem? I have one working with a arris sb6141modem. Want to make sure before I buy this modem
802.11ac is a Wi-Fi protocol. It's the latest, widely deployed Wi-Fi protocol (*). Previous Wi-Fi protocols are 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b, to name a few. Occasionally, you may see people refer to them as AC, N, G, and B; or 802.11 b/g/n/ac. For example, "I have an AC device."
Most modern devices support either 802.11n or 802.11ac. 802.11ac is much faster than 802.11n. As I mentioned earlier, you will need an 802.11ac-capable router and devices to run at 250 Mbps over Wi-Fi. If you provide the model numbers of your devices, I can tell you if they are AC devices and what their maximum speed is. For smartphones and Apple Macs, it's sufficient to provide the model. For PCs, it will be necessary to provide the model of the Wi-Fi network adapter. You can Google them yourself.
(*) 802.11ad just came out, but it is not widely deployed.
All consumer grade routers are standard TCP/IP networking devices and are, therefore, compatible.
