The NETGEAR Dual-Band AC1750 Router with 16 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem provides very fast cable speeds with an AC1750 WiFi router and integrated DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem, up to 680 Mbps. Compatible with cable Internet providers such as XFINITY from Comcast, Spectrum, Cox, Cablevision, and more.
After recently upgrading my ISP from CL DSL to Mediacom Cable it became clear to me that the NETGEAR C6300 (AC1750) WIFI Cable Modem was the right choice. With increasing service rates and rental fees, purchasing a single Modem/WIFI router was a good solution eliminating all rental fees with a single device. The Mediacom installer tried to persuade me that I was going to need the rented modem, however this was simply not true. Setup- Installation and setup were quick with no hassle. Simply download the NETGEAR Genie app. -The NETGEAR Genie mobile App is available for this device, and serves the same function as the router homepage on any web browser. Setup took less than 10 minutes. Performance- Speeds were everything that Mediacom advertised with 115 Mbps down and 28 Mbps up on first speed test. Speedtest.net WIFI- Signals are strong. Connection to either the 2.4GHz or 5.0 GHz are quick and easy with full signal throughout the house. Features - Most of the common router features can be found on this router. A dash board with status, WIFI, 2.4GHz setup, 5GHz setup, guest WIFI networks, USB share, parental control, port forwarding, DDNS, DHCP, UPnP, firewall, just to name a few. One other nice feature is the ability to scan wireless channels to find which channels were not in use. Price - for the combination of what you are getting in Router and modem capabilities coupled with saving the high monthly rental fee I think this item offers a very good value
Overall this has proved to be a great two-in-one solution as both a cable modem and router with the added benefit of saving me from a monthly charge for lesser equipment. Yes, this is supported by Medicom.
