A:AnswerIt is supposed too, I recently purchased this modem and I do have Suddenlink 1gb unlimited. I have been battling them for almost a month now, since activating this modem I went from 250mbs per second down to an unusable 20mbs per second download speed. An even more laughable 1mbs upload speed, two techs have come out to discover that the tap amplifier outside of my residence is faulty. I was supposed to be fully operational two weeks ago yet I am still running at speeds slower than dial up. Upon exhibiting my complaint to there offices in my area I found out that my work order submitted by two techs had been misplaced. So essentially this modem is way to powerful for a Mickey Mouse company like Suddenlink, I wish you all the best and hope you are not dealing with the same level of incompetence that I am currently dealing with.
A:AnswerThe speed you get over WiFi depends on a lot of factors: what band you're using, the specific settings in the router, and how much physical material (e.g. walls) are between the router and the client device. Generally, you'll get the fastest speeds when the client device is right next to a router/access point, and speeds go down as you move away from it.
One thing to keep in mind is that these units do not have two 5 GHz bands, which means you do not have a dedicated wireless backhaul. The three bands you get are 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the new 6 GHz (used only by WiFi 6E devices). Because of the way Asus' AI Mesh works, which band gets used as a backhaul will change from time to time based on conditions. Whichever band is used as a backhaul can have its throughput cut in half.
It is strongly recommended that you use a wired backhaul. Both units have a 2.5 Gbps WAN and a 2.5 Gbps LAN port, which means you can have a wired connection between them that is faster than the standard 1000 base-T. Keep in mind that if there is a switch between these two devices, you'll need to make certain that the switch is 2.5 Gbps. Also, find out if the category of your Ethernet cable can handle 2.5 Gbps.
Lastly, if you have any Ethernet devices, you'll definitely need a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet switch, and makes sure the other Ethernet devices (e.g. desktops, laptops, etc.) have a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet NIC.
Since you have faster than 1 Gbps from your ISP, this is one of the few routers you can use if you want to get the most out of it, particularly over Ethernet. If you get something else, make sure that the router has both in and out (WAN/LAN) ports that can handle faster than 1 Gbps (1000 base-T), and that your other networking hardware is up to snuff.
A:AnswerAs long as your Internet Service Provider uses a cable modem router set-up with coaxial connections, this should work. If not, Best Buy offers a very simple return policy. Purchased it not too long ago and love it.
A:AnswerThis device is a combo modem/router with WiFi 6 (newest standard). WiFi 6 creates more efficiency with the internet connection and maintains internet speed. I have not used it for gaming though it should be well suited for that purpose and the device is capable of handling gigabit internet speeds (depending on your internet service level). The device provides very stable and consistent connections to my devices (phone, computers and TV).
A:AnswerYou have to click on the two gears on the left of the web page when you are connected to the router's webpage via html. Then you click internet settings on the top menu, then edit next to type of internet connection. Then click the drop down menu and select bridge mode.
A:Answeri assume you mean both 2.4ghz and 5ghz at the same time? yes it can. i have devices on each band at the same time. it shows two unique ssid to connect to when you search for wifi connections. there is also a smart option that combines all devices to a single ssid and lets the device choose which band is the most optimal
A:AnswerI'm not sure but the box does state that it is comparable with xfinity, spectrum and Cox. We are using it with spectrum and it works really well. Set up was easy but you will need to call technical support with the information of the modern/router so that they can add it to your account and send the signal to the modern. Took less than 5 minutes.
A:AnswerYes, it is compatible. The ISP that is compatible with this cable modem are: Xfinity by Comcast, Spectrum, and COX cable services. Hope this answered your question
A:AnswerYes, this works with Spectrum. I have this model and my ISP is Spectrum (100MB service). I bought this unit for docsys 3.1, WiFi 6 compliance after receiving multiple calls from ISP to replace my customer-furnished docsys 3.0 cable modem/router (Previous device was also combo unit).
A:AnswerI just added this device a few weeks ago and also use Xfinity gig service. I did not use the app setup; I called them to deactivate the Motorola device I was replacing and had them add the new device (I run with two modems and it always gets confusing when someone looks at my account. The second is in the basement and only provides the landline conversion). After they were done, the Nighthawk was up and running and all devices were connected. Speedtests show roughly 400-600d/35-50u on newer devices. I used the option in the Netgear software to keep the old SSID to avoid having to re-do the setup on everything and that took care of the connection setup.
