What is Reddit's opinion of NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem WiFi Router Combo C7000-Compatible with Cable Providers Including Xfinity by Comcast, Spectrum, Cox for Cable Plans Up to 600Mbps | AC1900 WiFi Speed | DOCSIS 3.0?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I thought this too. Which is the reason I went ahead and purchased a new modem with the capability to pull 800 mbps and a DOCSIS 3.0. The tech who helped me out the other day told me the modems I had were compatible with the speed and services I am paying for, which is why I'm even more confused.

I have RCN and bought a NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 (24x8) modem/router combo earlier this year from Amazon. There apparently is a newer model of this modem, but the one I have now has given me zero problems. More than anything, it just depends on what speed you’re signing up for.

Just get a c7000 netgear or something similar. I got one on amazon refurbed for like 60$. Even has usb for a nas or printer. Other house has edgerouter x with a switch and 4ap. Tbh If you don’t have more than 1800sq over 2 floors just get a decent all in one. Especially since you say you’ll barely use wireless. Amazon warehouse has netgear c7000 For 40$. It will be faster than the arris and you’ll skip steps of needing an ap and the edgerouter.

~~I’ve been partial to the Netgear CM series (I’d recommend CM600 and up for future proofing).~~

Saw you wanted a combo. I would never recommend an all in one because I don't like putting all of my technological eggs in one basket, per se. Keep in mind that combo units capable of supporting the latest wireless technologies and supporting higher near future internet speeds are quite pricey.

Personally, I have a separate modem, router, and wireless access point. That way, if a year from now some hot new WiFi technology comes out that I want, or my modem dies, I'm not paying to replace all of that technology just to upgrade or replace one component. At the minimum, I'd separate the modem and router/WAP. For those, I'd recommend Netgear CM600 and up for the modem and I found the TP-Link Archer C7 a reasonably priced router/WAP that functioned well.

If you absolutely must have an all in one unit, it looks like this Netgear is fairly solid in terms of both supported internet speed and WiFi technology.

Yea sorry, meant to be more clear. I was originally using the 2 in 1 comcast router & modem, which was on lease for $10 a month. I went and bought a new one which is installed and works fine, but the latency issue has not gone away.

With the old router/modem or the new router/modem, I get the same speeds but also the same fluctuating latency problem.

If you're using Plex to stream then a full 1080p stream being streamed outside your home could saturate your whole 8mbps upload.

I also use comcast and bought my own router, I know that the modem you're using has a history of having abhorrent wireless capabilities. I use this: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Nighthawk-Certified-Xfinity-Comcast/dp/B00ZUPOF7Y

Yeah we have home phone with them, we actually just purchased this:

https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Nighthawk-Certified-Xfinity-Comcast/dp/B00ZUPOF7Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1475465751&sr=8-1&keywords=netgear+nighthawk+comcast

Haven't gotten around to setting it up yet, though. It requires calling them and giving them the router info and a bunch of other crap.

Very happy with this Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Modem/Router Combo. I pay for TWC's 300mbps and consistently get ~330. Wireless performance has been excellent. Have not needed a reboot since installation 3 weeks ago. Tech had no trouble activating it. It is on the compatibility list. Con: It is one of the most expensive currently available.

We just got it a few months back as part of an upgrade to Ultimate 300 and I haven't bothered to replace it with this yet: http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Nighthawk-AC1900-DOCSIS-C7000-100NAS/dp/B00ZUPOF7Y

I was holding out for Google Fiber but it looks like they're not going to be coming to this town anymore which sucks.

Yeah dude, you are arguing about nothing. I have Comcast, so I was referring to the C7000 not the R7000.

The C7000 has modem and router built in.

http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Nighthawk-AC1900-C7000-100NAS-Comcast/dp/B00ZUPOF7Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1438024311&sr=1-1&keywords=c7000&pebp=1438024318563&perid=1V1JG1M9NBVQW6YW8MVB

Routers don't need to cost $300. The rentals this conversation is about comparing to certainly don't. But yes, I did forget about the need for a separate router because I wanted the extra configurability that comes with having a separate router, but you're absolutely right that not everyone would.

So, here's three modem/router combinations - for $160, $130 or $114 - all of which are still cheaper than renting for a year (heck, the cheapest one equates to 8 months of renting) let alone year after year of continuing to rent.

OP is clearly concerned with price (like many posts in this sub) so if they want unlimited data for $11 more a month instead of $25 more a month, this is how.

So you say duel band so it sounds like you are looking for a gateway. This is a modem router combo. You have a few options. If you buy of Amazon you could get this one. It's 200 but is a 3.0 modem with a duel band ac wireless router built in. Supports 24 downstream channels and 8 up. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZUPOF7Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ZzWnzbRC6T09V

If you are looking to save some money you could get this one, it's 100 and supports 8 down and 4 up. This would work with the 150 Meg tier but I recommend​ getting the higher channel one to future proof yourself. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IF0JAYE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_PCWnzbFRR986G

Cox in my area does sell this one below. They charge around 170 or so for it( not sure don't quote me). On Amazon it's 180. It supports 32 down and 8 up. If you buy from Cox it has a 2 year warranty and they will come swap it out if it goes bad. It says on Amazon Arris gives it a 2 year warranty also but you would have to ship it to them I assume. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KW9T39C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_oFWnzbHTN8433

Stand alone modems are different because you need a router to plug into it to get wifi. If you are interested in a 3.1 modem prepare to spend around 200 for it. They don't make docsis 3.1 gateways yet that I know of. Cox doesn't even use docsis 3.1 yet in any market but will be kicking it on within a year or so in select areas. The docsis 3.1 modems that you can buy today are backwards compatible with 3.0 and support 32 down and 8 up. I know I talk a lot about the channels down and up. This is how many different cable channels the modem can connect to at once. More is better because If one gets congested it reroutes packets down another that isn't. This helps maintain speed even during peak hours and also how they deliver the faster speeds.

Cox also sells Arris stand-alone docsis 3.1 modems for 179.99 and it comes with a 1 year warranty through Cox. It has 2 Ethernet ports on the back. Don't be wierded out by that it's for multi gigabit services in the future and only one will work today.

If you have any other questions let me know and I will try to answer the best I can.

A little more expensive then I was looking to spend total. I was trying to stay sub $175 total.

I have been looking at this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZUPOF7Y/ref=dp_cr_wdg_tit_nw_mr

Seems to be a pretty good deal for what you get.

I don't think I'm doing anything special. This is my modem/wireless router.

This Modem work for Spectrum? https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Nighthawk-C7000-Certified-Spectrum/dp/B00ZUPOF7Y

What model Nighthawk are you using?

I'm looking at this one:

Nighthawk C7000

In case I have to go back to Bend Broadband.

this is the one I have. I would probably go with something a little more modern like this one though because docsis 3.1 will be a good investment over time. It gives you 32x8 channel bonding and an ac3200 router so on paper it’s much better

I was looking at the wrong nighthawk.

What I'm talking about is this one.

If you want a modem/router combo: AC1900 Nighthawk

If you want one modem and one router: Arris SURFboard SB6141 and NETGEAR N750

It just drops, even on 2.4ghz it still drops, I am upstairs and the router is upstairs just three doors down.

Hey thanks again for the quick reply.

Once my computer is built, then I will look into the extensions and smaller things to make it look better, unless you have any brands or types off the top of your head. Like you said for the few wires that will show, it really isn't worth a basic kit after looking into it. Great tip!

Looking into the case fans I see what you mean about the noise vs the actual performance. I think those fans will suit me just great! Cool to see those videos about just how little of a difference it would make for me and I would have been sacrificing noise for pretty much no more performance. Good deal!

As for the routers. I used that wifi analyzer and surprisingly it is a lot worse than I thought. My signal is still the strongest but I have about 4 or 5 other people operating on the same exact channels as me under the 2.4G tab. Looking under the 5G tab, it was blank. Absolutely nobody. So I think I'll go with the 5G router! But I do have an issue. The modem and router I have are all in one unit. It is a modem/router combo. So I would have to get a modem as well. Any suggestions? Should I get a separate modem and router or should I get a combined unit? Just for extra information, my router doesn't need to push too far or go through many walls to get to me. I still like to have it broadcast a good ways so I can use the wifi on my phone when out in the backyard, but as far as reaching where my pc will go, it will be about 15 feet away going through two walls (non insulated walls). It is set up in my living room towards the center of the apartment and I get good signal as it is. Just need it to perform better I guess because I guess the issue is that the router (or modem?) gets flooded easily when searching for servers in a game. That is when it just cuts off my internet in the game and I have to exit the game, then I am back to normal. Just plain weird but that is the only thing I've found online that fits exactly what happens to me when I try to load servers on bigger games like KF2.

Also, I have no experience what so ever when it comes to setting up a modem or router. What do I need to do? I know I want the 5G frequency and the channels don't matter because no one else is on that frequency at all. Do I just plug in the new modem and router (or modem/router combo) and just let it do its thing? Will my network name stay the same or will I have to set up an entirely new network?

I said I don't want to spend a ton of money on this but what I meant was like some super $500 wifi system that I can't even take advantage of without extreme internet speed haha.

This one is expensive in my opinion but has great reviews. https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Nighthawk-AC1900-DOCSIS-C7000-100NAS/dp/B00ZUPOF7Y/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1452701417&sr=1-22&keywords=modem+router+combo&linkCode=sl1&tag=nerdtechy-20&linkId=60570f3ee7b22a14bc2b...

But this one on the other hand is cheaper and also has great reviews.

https://www.amazon.com/SURFboard-SBG6782AC-DOCSIS-AC1750-Router/dp/B00GJ7Y7MU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=nerdtechy-20&linkId=fd7024bf66add45962bc8e4ca9c36b75

Ideally, I'd like to spend a little less than that, but I will if it means not having to mess with it again. I'm not sure what speeds are ideal for normal gaming nowadays but I know that the games I play now work alright, maybe laggy once in a while but it could also just be my computer. For now, I'd just like to swap out the modem and router so I no longer have to deal with copying ip addresses just to join servers on bigger games. Then in the future if I wish to up my internet speed for whatever reason, I know the router and modem can handle it. And with this new computer, I'll have all my bases covered! Let me know what you think!

I'm moving soon and was looking into this a well (not for WoW just in general) and this came up as one of the top modem/router combos. Link

hey wold I have any problems with this when port forwarding http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Nighthawk-AC1900-DOCSIS-C7000-100NAS/dp/B00ZUPOF7Y/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8
