A:AnswerNot sure what you mean by AT&T Wi-fi connection? But, this modem is not on AT&T compatibility list for their Internet service. AT&T provides a modem signal and Wi-Fi is included if you have a Modem/Router vs just a modem. If you have just an AT&T modem without the router, then you can use almost any WiFi Router or Mesh system to provide your W-Fi signal. You would not do that with a modem/router. Check with AT&T is you think you want this unit, to see if it is compatible.
A:AnswerI purchased a Netgear CAX80 and despite Netgear advertising it as VPN compatible they are trying to push their choice of VPN brand of Bitdefender that appears to have been locked and loaded with the Bitdefender software in the modems and routers. I'm returning mine for another brand I can use Express VPN with as Netgear's doesn't seem to accept 3rd party software.
A:AnswerCOMPATIBLE WITH MAJOR CABLE INTERNET PROVIDERS: Including Xfinity, Spectrum, Cox, and more. Not compatible with Verizon, AT&T, CenturyLink, DSL providers, DirecTV, DISH and any bundled voice service.
A:AnswerAs far as optimum goes, you cannot have gig speed and on your own equipment. Anything less than gig speed you can buy your own equipment. However, if you have the Altice one cable boxes you have to use the Altice one modem and router. The modem and router for Altice one give direction to the minis and without it well they just won’t work.
A:AnswerThis is a suggestion when purchasing a Netgear or any electronics. Check the warranty and support of the product! Had I not purchased BestBuys warranty I would be stuck paying for support after the Netgear 90 day free support ended. While it still had a 1year you only get 90 days of free technical support.
AX supports newer devices with faster connections and on a new frequency. For instance if you have an IPhone 11 or 12 you will benefit for the AX standard.
A:AnswerI, too, bought the Nighthawk. It will eventually setup with the Nighthawk but the connection from the mesh network is so terrible I honestly think it probably doesn't matter how good the original modem is.
A:AnswerThis is an excellent modem, router combo. I suggest you check with your Service provider to ensure it is compatible. Depending on your wifi speed, you may be able to use a cheaper modem/router combo. I have the highest speed internet service from Xfinity because I stream only (no landline phone or tv cable service) and it works great.
