A:AnswerHaving 32 channels up and 8 down makes a BIG difference in the evening and on weekends when everyone gets home and starts hammering their internet connections.
With more channels, you don't get these slowdowns. This modem just keeps going by dividing the traffic across more channels.
You won't regret spending a few bucks more for this.
A:AnswerThe SB6190 is a cable modem that connects to an internet service provider via coaxial cable, so it won’t work for the setup you described. To connect your computer to the Xfinity modem located downstairs, the best option is to use a wireless connection—provided both the modem and your computer support Wi-Fi.

A:AnswerBloom Broadband does not recommend using the SB6190 modem for its Internet service due to performance limitations. For optimal speed and reliability, we recommend the SURFboard SB8200 cable modem. It supports DOCSIS 3.1 technology and offers 32 downstream and 8 upstream channels—making it fully compatible with Bloom’s highest-speed plans and ensuring a smooth online experience.
