Highlights
- Key Specs
- 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.)
- Wi-Fi Speed: 1.9 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
- Internet Service Provider (ISP) Compatibility: Universal (The internet service provider(s) that the device is able to work with and/or connect to with minimal setup.)
- General
- Brand: Motorola
- Model Number: MG7550
- Product Name: Dual-Band AC1900 Router with 16 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem
- Color: Black
- Security
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: NAT, Other (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.)
- 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 (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).)
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 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.

Best bargain i could find, no complaints
I thought a modem was a modem. My old modem had given up the ghost, had purchased it at a yardsale for 5 bucks. served me well over the years. But when I went to replace it, of course I went to BB to check them out. I didn't realize that modems themselves have different speeds. So with the old one I wasn't even getting the speed that I'd been paying for with my ISP. Did some research and ended up getting this one. Modems aren't cheap and i was looking for a bargain. For my purposes this was the best one. It works great, can't complain about it at all.

Very pleasant surprise
My internet plan with Comcast is for 200 mbps download speeds. With my old Motorola SBG6680 I was able to get 50-60 on the xfinity speed test and that was adequate for my needs, no issues, no dropouts, no buffering. But, I was paying for 200 and getting 50-60. Dropping down to a 100 plan would actually have cost a little more. So I spoke to a helpful Best Buy associate who recommended the Motorola MG7550 and went home to do my own research. After a day of of waffling I decided that the MG7550 was actually the best choice even though it was a little more than what I needed right now. I opened the box and the directions weren’t clear as a bell for keeping my old network name and password so I called the 800 number and Eddie walked me right through it. Called Comcast to update the new Mac ID and that went smoothly. Now the big test. What download speed would I get? I’d have been happy to hit 100. Last evening I was consistently getting 150-170. This morning with all of the kids off to school and parents off to work I’m getting 200+. So, yeah! I’m happy with the MG7550.
