It's $99 on Amazon Prime delivered today. Supports up to 1.4Gbps throughput for the coming 1GoFiber service they will be offering in the fall.\r\n\r\nCheaper than renting. As to the business plan im curious why you didn't opt to go with the 300/100 plan instead? It's only $200 versus the $100, gives you more speed and its dedicated. On a residential plan you share your access with the neighborhood. On the business plan you do not.","subreddit_name":"phoenix","author":"AV1978"},{"body":"\u0026gt;4- laptop. have you tried another laptop/desktop to verify if the problem persists?\r\n\r\nYeah, the problem is across all computers in my house as well as phones. \r\n\r\n\u0026gt;5- modem configuration\r\n\r\nIts just a stand alone modem.

That modem isn’t recommended because it has a bad chipset. I think it’s the Puma chipset.\r\n\r\n[Here is the link to the modem I purchased.](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016PE1X5K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1) It does appear to be the model you referenced. At the time, it was the top recommended modem from Wirecutter. What is wrong with it exactly? I personally thought my speeds were pretty fast, all things considered. What kind of speeds should I realistically expect? \r\n\r\n\u0026gt;I’m not a fan of wifi6 routers yet. I bought the Netgear RAX80 and experienced multiple disconnects per day. The firmware is garbage right now. I just went out last night and picked up the Netgear R8000 after dealing with the RAX80 for the last two months. The R8000 has been perfect so far. I’m going to hold onto my RAX80 for a little bit with the hope that it gets better.\r\n\r\nInteresting. I have loved my RAX80 in the short time I've used it. I hope I continue to love it, because I don't think returning it would be an option for me. (I also got it for less than what the R8000 is selling for on Amazon). The bar is pretty low for me, though, because the router I was using it was far inferior. Everything is relative, I guess.","subreddit_name":"HomeNetworking","author":"Jackson3125"},{"body":"Reposting since no feedback before.
