- Encryption Type: WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: NAT, SPI (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Security Features: true
- Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
- Network
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000/10000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number of Antennas: 3
- Frequency Band: 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Ethernet Switch: true (Connects multiple devices to expand the Local Area Network (LAN).)
- Transport Protocol: TCP/IP, PPTP, UDP/IP, ICMP/IP, IPSec, ARP, FTP, DHCP, DDNS (The protocol used for connection-oriented transmissions, flow control, etc. within the transport layer of the network.)
- Certifications Listings & Approvals
- ENERGY STAR Certified: false (Devices carrying the ENERGY STAR service mark, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, and other products, generally use 20% to 30% less energy than required by federal standards.)
- Features
- Beamforming: true (A signal processing technique that enables a router to focus a Wi-Fi signal in a specific direction. The router determines where a connected device in the network is located and projects a stronger signal in that specific direction. This can result in faster and higher quality data transfer as well as reduced signal interference.)

Q: what else do i need to to buy to connect this to my xfinity internet i have
A: This is a combination router and modem. Essentially, just connect the threaded coax cable to the back of this unit, follow directions to setup the router portion, then just call Comcast to associate the modem with their service (they'll ask you model number and MAC address, which is on the unit).
Q: Does this work with century link?
A: No, this will not work with century link.
Q: is this compatible with Spectrum
A: Yes, this product is compatible with Spectrum.
Q: Can this or any cable modem be used with FiOS?
A: No don’t buy it. It can’t be used with Fios. I made the mistake of buying it and didn’t return it in 15 days so I couldn’t get a refund. Very disappointed.
A: Yes, it works with a phone.
Q: Will this work with Xfinity 400 MBS service?
A: yes it will work, not up 2 speed
Q: Do i need to contact the cable co to get this to work and is it a modem as well as Wifi ?????
A: You may need to contact your INTERNET PROVIDER to get this to work and be sure that you have paid to receive service from them. Have their tech support number on hand if your router is not connecting (keep in mind that a new router may take a while to fully connect to the network, don't panic if 10-15 minutes go by before it's fully connected). This router is indeed a WIFI ROUTER and MODEM. It does NOT come with a Coax cable which you will definitely need to connect your router to the wall in your home or office. You will need to purchase a coax cable separately. They are not super expensive. Just google "coax cable" and you should find plenty of options for purchase. This router comes with set up instructions to help clarify things.
Q: Do I need a computer to set this up?
A: you can use a phone or tablet to access the modem settings
