Wait can you tell me how much dose net gear cost per month because where getting a new WiFi box so I’m wondering if it’s cheap and good because I’m looking to game on a cheap and good WiFi and do school and etc
Just to let you know that the box you get from your ISP is both a router and a modem. Every network needs to have both. There is a difference between both.
Just for those who didn’t know Motorola MG7700 is a Modem-Router it includes internet inside the modem so that it can distribute your internet across your devices
"it includes internet inside the modem"... oh boy, that's a really helpful comment. Ummm... don't you mean it's a combo modem/router? Routers and modems have two different functions, being a wifi hub and/or ethernet hub is what routers do, they can be stand alone or integrated with a modem, which acts as your gateway to the internet. Most savy tech users keep separate modems and routers, due to most combo router/modems always make sacrifices somewhere, and/or make it cheaper when you just need to replace one or the other, instead of both.
I know you said or but I just want to clarify that combo modem-routers are the exact opposite of high end. no one should ever get a combo. they're really poorly made and thus unreliable and tend to have a shorter life span, along with a multitude of performance issues and technical limitations
What where is the netgear nighthawk cm1200? That’s the modem I have with the orbi WiFi 6 rbk852 hooked up to it along with Comcast 1gig plan. My internet is blazing fast. My last test on iPhone 11 Pro was 940mbps down 42 mbps up & 14 ping.
Modems have nothing to do with the size of your space and everything to do with how fast your internet plan is. The router is where you should consider- How large of a space it needs to cover, how many devices it needs to support, how fast your internet plan is, and what your devices will be using the internet for
@@keeganjamescatlin8594 You can buy any a modem that's approved by your provider (and I recommend everybody does so!) and any router is compatible with any modem. Modems only retrieve data, they don't do anything other than that, so all you have to worry about as far as modems go is- 1. It is compatible with your provider. 2. It is fast enough for your internet plan, and 3. It doesn't use an Intel Puma Chip. I recommend buying a CM600 for data plans 300mbps and lower. A CM1000 is my choice for plans in the 300mbps - 1000mbps(1gbps) range. For me, a CM700 would be great for my 400mbps plan HOWEVER, it uses an Intel chip so I had to go with a CM1000. If anyone has any specific questions, feel free to ask. This stuff is very frustrating for most people, but I've taken the time and headache to figure it out :/ XD
@@johnboyjr21 so I need a cable modem and router for wifi? I'm going to stop renting from xfinity, so I have to buy my own router and cable modem? I thought a cable modem was for television...
@@NocturnalSeabass Yes you will need a router and a cable modem to have wifi. The modem you rent from xfinity is a router and modem in one unit and they're dirt cheap (for them not for you). The reason it's called a "cable" modem isn't because it's for the tv, it's because it connects to the internet via a coaxial cable as opposed to through a phone line/satellite like the old days or the new super fast fiber wire that are currently available in very few areas. Invest $100-$400 (depending on your plan, living space and how many/what kind of devices you are connecting to) in a good modem and router and not only will they pay for themselves within a few years (by avoiding the rental charges) but you will also get the most out of the service/speeds you're already paying for!! I for instance, tripled my speeds and am now able to get stable wifi connection throughout my entire house for a $300 investment (I ended up saving far more than that by now) I made 5 years ago!!! If you're willing to spring for that price range, I recommend a TP-Link AC4000 Router and a Surfboard SB8200 Modem. If your speed plan is lower than 400mbps you can certainly go for cheaper. Hope this helps
These are really bad choices. Most aren’t even docsis 3.1 and are terribly low spec. And you’re saying that people should buy one because that’s what’s making their internet slow? That’s just blatantly false to get your commission.
Michael Casaus bought the Motorola MB8600 three months ago and haven’t had a single issue, supports docsis 3.1, all the upstream and downstream bands you’d want, simple interface. Make sure you have a router too because this is a modem only.
Matthew Williams thank you soo much. I have CenturyLink which is a local internet and cable company which is garbage. We use their modem and I love my streaming and online gaming. So I’m trying to find the best one for my needs. Thank you soo much for your help. Also, what type of modem you recommend?
Michael Casaus I’m not sure it’s compatible with centurylink you want to check their compatible modems list. As for router, I use a netgear, a newer model will work fine

DOCSIS 3.0 : Released in August 2006, DOCSIS 3.0 significantly increased data rates (this time both upstream and downstream) and introduced support for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). DOCSIS 3.1 : First released in October 2013, and updated several times since, the DOCSIS 3.1 suite of specifications support capacities of up to 10 Gbit/s downstream and 1 Gbit/s upstream using 4096 QAM. The new specs do away with 6 MHz and 8 MHz wide channel spacing and instead use narrower (25 kHz or 50 kHz wide) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) subcarriers; these can be bonded inside a block spectrum that could end up being about 200 MHz wide.[6] DOCSIS 3.1 technology also includes some new energy management features that will help the cable industry reduce its energy usage, and the DOCSIS-PIE[7] algorithm to reduce bufferbloat.[8] In the United States, broadband provider Comcast announced in February 2016 that several cities within its footprint will have DOCSIS 3.1 availability before the end of the year.[9] At the end of 2016, Mediacom announced it would become the first major U.S. cable company to fully transition to the DOCSIS 3.1 platform.[10] DOCSIS 4.0 : Improves DOCSIS 3.1 to use the full spectrum of the cable plant (0 MHz to ~1.8 GHz) at the same time in both upstream and downstream directions. This technology enables multi-gigabit symmetrical services while remaining backwards compatible with DOCSIS 3.1. CableLabs released the full specification in October 2017.[11] Previously branded as DOCSIS 3.1 Full Duplex, these technologies have been rebranded as part of DOCSIS 4.0.[12] Cross-version compatibility has been maintained across all versions of DOCSIS, with the devices falling back to the highest supported version in common between both endpoints: cable modem (CM) and cable modem termination system (CMTS). For example, if one has a cable modem that only supports DOCSIS 1.0, and the system is running 2.0, the connection will be established at DOCSIS 1.0 data rates

I got spectrum and I play on the ps5 and that shit is ass what should I use so I won’t be lagging like hell
Get Netgear Nighthawk rx500
i am just going to use it for 1or 2 devices my playstation 4 and my phone will thus be a good modem?
Yes.
U forgot ps5
If you buy a modem and router for wifi, do you still need an internet provider like spectrum?
Yes, you need an internet service provider, or ISP for short.
Yes.
How's the zyxel pk5001z one of the best this year if I got that model for 5 years, I think it should be obsolete by now
Which on works with Frontier?

@@s7robe297 works fine with me. 🙄 that sounds like a vague opinion with nothing to back it up.
Only 2 of the 5 are modems... 3 of the 5 modem combos and are useless if you're looking for only a modem cause you have a separate router.
Yes he's careless in his classifications. Also calls the C7000 a 700.

Docsis 3.0 is more than enough for every use. Even 600 mbps is alot more than what people can actually handle.
