Arris may not be a well-known name in routers, but they’ve been making cable modems from almost the beginning, and the Surfboard SB6190 is the company’s latest modem/router model, a DOCSIS 3.0 32x8 version that Arris says can deliver download speeds as high as 1.4Gbps.

Verizon and Frontier FIOS Quantum Gateway routers.A good router, good wireless coverage. Improvement in speed and coverage over my previous 4 year old Verizon provided router.Note: If you have Verizon FIOS service get a Verizon branded version of this router for best compatibility. Many online sell you a Frontier branded version of this router even though they show you a Verizon picture.

The Frontier branded router will work (I have used them). However each has slightly different interface software and the Frontier will not automatically sync with other Verizon branded equipment like their WiFi extender or with Verizon's remote web management system and probably not get software updates if Verizon pushes any out (my guess on the last update point).Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned. Best modem for Apple products!I have 2 iMacs, iPhones and iPads and had 2 brand new Netgear modems from AT&T that would not work with the Apple products. Kept disconnecting when on wireless and would always say cannot connect to the network. This never happens with the Motorola.Be sure the Motorola modem has the red sticker on the top and the stickers on the bottom with the Access Code and WEP key. If the modem does not have those stickers on it I wouldn't buy it.Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned. Netopia 3347 works well.The Netopia 3347 modem/router works well but I have just installed it, so I will know more after a week or so.

I bought a 3347 at the recommendation of a repairman who came to my house to try to repair my DSL line. He said I might get faster internet speeds from the 3347 than I was getting with my combination Westell modem and Netgear router.

My first 4 attempt to install were unsuccessful in getting on-line with AT&T, but I finally took a paper clip and re-set the unit. I got on-line with AT&T instantly, and the AT&T site configured the modem. After I got on-line, I followed directions obtained from various sites to set up wireless service. Right now, the 3347 is working great, and a note on the unit says it should be even faster after I leave it turned on for 10 days.Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned.

Steambot chronicles savory. When I ordered online, I am internet only I chose the “have my own router” from the drop down box. It was not an issue. However when the guy came to install he said activation could only be done with the Quantum router. I told him I don’t want it, need it or will I accept it. He said it was not on the account and after activation I will just put it back into the truck. However I hooked my own and went to the activation site and it was up and running. He was surprised but said he was glad it worked.like the other poster stated the router you have should work at that speed.

In fact if you research the revision of the router your using now, it may handle even greater speeds.oh and the Quantum router is inferior WiFi wise to real routers like Netgear or Asus.the key is to have outside antennas and not internal for better range. Some of the FIOS DVR functionality requires a FIOS-supplied router. Specifically:- Remote DVR programming- On-TV-screen caller id- 'Automatic' fixing of internet connection from DVR menus- Remote 'admin' access for Verizon to troubleshoot your connectionThe way these work is that the FIOS-supplied router registers your DVRs by communicating with them.

It then sets up port-forwards to them, and then sends the registration information to Verizon servers. If Verizon changes your IP address, the FIOS-supplied router sends updated registration information to Verizon servers. If you add a new DVR, the FIOS-supplied router adds more port-forwards and sends out the updated registration info.This process appears to be specific to Verizon. There are no opensource or third-party implementations of this process.

So if you get rid of the FIOS-supplied router, then you are going to be losing that specialized functionality.In addition, the FIOS-supplied router acts as a MOCA bridge. That means it sends Ethernet/networking over the TV cables. The DVRs use an internet connection to download guide data and access pay-per-view. The video streams come in over coax cable (just like old-style cable) but it then gets joined together with the internet coax from your FIOS router. If you get rid of the FIOS router, then you need to replace it with a MOCA (ethernet-to-coax) bridge.

Otherwise your DVRs will stop receiving guide data and won't be able to access movies and other pay-per-view content.
