Cable Modem

[DWalk74]

Need help I was thinking about buying a cable modem to replace my AT&T modem but haven't seen if any of the Netgear modems that say they are compatible with At&t.

   Why?  Is there some actual problem which you are trying to solve?

   What is your "my AT&T modem"?  Maker?  Model?  Is it a DSL
modem(+router?), or a cable-TV-type modem(+router?), or what?

   Possession of some basic information about what you have might make
it easier to choose a suitable replacement for it.

what is the model # of the modem you currently have? 

It's best to check with ISPs first to see that they support. Some ISP don't allow for user owed modems.

I have an AT&T Uverse Arris Bgw210 700 Gateway

   As a quick Web search would reveal, that's a DSL modem+router;
different technology from cable-TV.  If you're keeping the same Internet
service, then a "Cable Modem" would be useless to you.

   Still wondering.

You'll need to ask the ISP if this gateway modem is required by them for your services. Sometimes this can't be removed. I know ATT has there own modems and routers for some of there services which can't be removed. 

Good Luck.

   I don't see why you'd need to ask.

   If an Arris BGW210-700 is working now, with either a DSL or Ethernet
WAN connection, then, whether it's "required" or not, I fail to see how
a "Cable Modem" (or, for that matter, a cable modem+router/gateway),
with its cable-TV co-axial cable WAN port would be of any use as a
replacement.  But I'm always open to enlightenment.
