Xfinity Modem for 1 gig internet (alien.top)

I have my modem and Wi-Fi separate. I upgraded but just went with the 1 gig (I don’t care about extra 200mbps). I have a surfboard which has worked flawlessly for years. It runs max 686 mbps at most so I’m going to upgrade. It’s running at over 400 on average now. My asus rt-AX92U Wi-Fi works great so I’m leaving it alone. I upgraded because my discount was ending and it was $10 extra.

Arris Surfboard S33 or SB8200 (slower upload but I don’t really upload so I don’t care). I do not do refurbished electronics. Open to other recommendations. I won’t use phone lines.

FYI the $5 savings if I stick their Wi-Fi modem on xfi is not worth it. I went through 3. They can’t handle bridge mode well.

Either of those would work fine.

Keep in mine that your wired devices need to connect to to your router as well - the router isn't just for wifi, in fact wifi is a *secondary* function of a router.

Mainly a desktop is direct wired. Thank you.
