    Linksys High Speed DOCSIS 3.0 24x8 AC1900 Cable Modem Router, Certified for Xfinity by Comcast and Spectrum by Charter (CG7500)

    • I purchased a new CG7500 modem router from Amazon (with my own money-- this is not a paid review) about 2 months ago (June 2017) to replace a Comcast Xfinity-provided unit that worked without any issue-- that router had good signal range, good speed, and good reliability--rarely needed any sort of reset
    • This unit also has poorer signal range than a Comcast Xfinity-provided rental cable-modem.
    • I do wish it had some external antennaes to boost its signal.
    • I’ve had steady signals both ether and WiFi with no drops in speed
    • With the help of the Linksys technical help, we tried multiple frequencies to improve the signal, but none really improved the situation.2) Regular disconnections.
    • Speed: When working properly, the speed of the CG7500 on 5Ghz is good, with download speed at over 250MB/s and upload at 30MB/s, consistent with the speed of Internet service I pay Comcast for.
    • Our wi-fi, consisting of one Apple AirPort Express) as a base router and another as a signal repeater, has been quite finicky and not always as reliable as we'd prefer.
