Wired Router for CM1200

Does Netgear make a WIRED (not WiFi) router that works with the CM1200?  If not, can anyone recommend another brand & model?  I already have an Orbi WiFi router but for various reasons it can't be located near my CM1200 cable modem so I need a wired (gigabit) router to attach directly to my CM1200.

 

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Sorry I surely didn't look closer are your question.

Not that I can tell:

Most routers include wifi now days. Most R, XR and RAX series routers have built in wifi radios that can be disabled if wifi isn't needed. 

Other suggestion would be to maybe go with wired FIREWALL appliance device. These have some router features and good for firewall and usually don't have wifi radios built in. 

 

Or go with Ubiquity routers. Edge X router doesn't have wifi. Wired only. I have one.

NG Orbi MESH, R, XR or RAX series routers all work with the CM modem. Just pick something that best suites your needs.

Thanks FURRYe38 but aren't all of these WiFi routers?  I'm specifically looking for a WIRED router.

I've heard good things about the edge router's but haven't tried one yet. It'd be a good route to go if you're looking for one without wifi.

Unfortunately the X doesn't do any WAN to LAN speeds over 300Mbps. Smiley Sad

Thanks to both of you.  I think I'll try Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X
