“What router/modem is compared to the Arris TG862G/CT I am using the Arris TG862G/CT Router/Modem that I rent from Comcast. I am sick of paying the rental fee every month and was wondering what I can purchase that is close to this one at a reasonable price. I don't care if it is refurbished or the box has been opened as long as it does the job. I only (very ancient) computer with Windows XP that is linked to my cell phone. I only get cable and internet through Comcast because I don't have a house phone. What is the least expensive router/modem that I can purchase that will work with my services the best.”

All you need is a basic cable modem. Doesn't matter what brand unless you plan on getting 100 gig or higher internet speed. I would recommend a Motorola router since Comcast use's them on there systems. If your going to get 100 gig or higher internet speed you'll need a modem that is a "3.0 Docsis " system. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.First, that is a Motorola SB6121, and it is a cable modem, not a router. BTW, it is a really stable, excellent cable modem! (I bought the same one at Best Buy myself and it is an excellent, very standard product. The M at the top is for Motorola and I can read the SB6121 at the bottom! It is better known by that designation.) Second, they sell it at Best Buy and when I bought mine I price matched because it was available at Best Buy online cheaper, so do check the price. Third, you can connect it to any router and they'll all work fine unless you have higher needs, like streaming multiple movies at once and so on. Cheap wifi routers run $25-50. You don't need a router if you just plug it directly into one computer using an ethernet cable (with the oversized phone jacks on each end "RJ45", comes with the modem.)
