Overview
Motorola combines a cable modem and a Wi-Fi router in one vertical body, which cuts wiring and power adapters and takes little desk space. Amplifiers and beamforming push the wireless signal outward, and four wired ports serve computers and consoles.
Replacing a rented modem and a separate router with one unit is the reason to buy, with approval from several major cable providers named in the description. The limit is service type: it only works on cable and offers no voice line.
Who it's for
Households on supported cable providers who want a tidy single box for connected phones, TVs and game stations will use its wired and wireless sides. People on other service types, or who need telephone ports, must choose different equipment.
Pros and cons
- Modem and router in one unit
- Vertical design saves shelf space
- Four Gigabit wired ports
- Beamforming on both bands
- Cable internet only
- No phone jack
- Wireless generation fields disagree
- Internal antennas cannot be swapped
Performance notes
A cable modem channel-bonds several downstream and upstream channels to carry the connection, and the router side adds amplifiers and beamforming to strengthen signal at distance. Access to DFS channels lets it avoid congested channels shared with neighbors. The description recommends it for cable plans up to the listed speed.
