This modem works great! I bought it for the 100 gig internet speed. It was easy to switch my old modem out and hook this one up. All I really had to do is call my ISP and give them the MAC#, the ISP did there activation and I just had to reboot them modem again. That was it.

I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the second battery back up serge protector I have bought. My house is old and the wiring isn't very good. I have one of these on my entertainment center and the other on my computer electronics. They give me plenty of time to shut things down if the power goes out for very long. I'm planning on getting another one to put on the rest of the electronics I have.

ZTE - Spro 2 Wireless Smart DLP Projector - Silver

Host a drive-in movie experience or display your work with this ZTE Spro 2 projector, which offers DLP technology for vibrant images and powerful JBL speakers. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology allow easy access streaming or saved content.

Will this projector work wireless with an ipad?

It has an android system. I didn't read anything in the instructions that came with it about Apple at all. So I'm going to have to say no it won't.
Have to say it is a great little projector!

What router/modem is compared to the Arris TG862G/CT

I am using the Arris TG862G/CT Router/Modem that I rent from Comcast. I am sick of paying the rental fee every month and was wondering what I can purchase that is close to this one at a reasonable price. I don't care if it is refurbished or the box has been opened as long as it does the job. I only (very ancient) computer with Windows XP that is linked to my cell phone. I only get cable and internet through Comcast because I don't have a house phone. What is the least expensive router/modem that I can purchase that will work with my services the best.

All you need is a basic cable modem. Doesn't matter what brand unless you plan on getting 100 gig or higher internet speed. I would recommend a Motorola router since Comcast use's them on there systems. If your going to get 100 gig or higher internet speed you'll need a modem that is a "3.0 Docsis " system. Hope this helps.

ARRIS - SURFboard 8 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - Silver

Do upgrades to firmware of this modem have to be done by Comcast?

Do upgrades to firmware of this modem have to be done by Comcast (i.e., the cable network) or can the owner upgrade the firmware?

Best Answer

The firmware updates should be all automatic. You shouldn't need to do anything at all.

ARRIS - SURFboard 8 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - Silver

NAT

Can I disable NAT on this modem or is it hard coded?

Hi Chris, the NAT on the Surfboard 3.0 modem is hard coded. The only thing that can really be done is rebooting it or doing a factor reset. There is nothing else that can be changed.
