A:AnswerThe Arris Surfboard Cable Modem & AC1600 WiFi router provides two wireless connection options. You're able to switch between the two depending on which signal provides a better connection. One is for close range, the other is for your issue (far range) "devices throughout the house that aren’t close enough to the wifi source." Hope this helps!
A:AnswerI'd give it a 10 out of 10 only because it serves it's very limited purpose for internet browsing and streaming in a household of one who doesn't do gaming. It hasn't given me any issues yet, and is a good value for the price.
A:AnswerI converted over from the same model you mention due to the fact mine wasn't able to keep up with my new high speed internet & the unit was compatible with COMCAST-AKA ( XFINITY ). Now with the new unit ARRIS - SURFboard 16 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0, better connectivity & with 550-Mbps Down load speed & 43.5-Mbps Upload speed it was the correct choice. But Don't take my word for it talk with a GEEK staff member first to confirm compatibility with your equipment
A:AnswerGo online and search for Cable modems compatible with Windstream.If you don't see this modem listed Id buy one that is,because this likely won't if not on their list.
A:AnswerResearch FBS. Front Bus Speed is the single limiting factor. That is the speed that all of the electronics of your computer talk to each other. Chances are your computer cannot actually make use of 500 MBPS. Speed tests are a selling point for internet providers and do NOT actually reflect what speed your computer is actually processing the download vs. stashing the excess info on the RAM
