What wireless routers would work well with this modem and cable internet with download speeds up to 50Mbps?

I use a Belkin dual band router that I purchase from Target for $49, but any good router would work. Just go to Office Depot, Office Max, or Staples. The assistants are very helpful.

I use a Linksys Wireless and Home Router and it works great. no problems at all.

If you are not planning on using any advanced features such as quality of service and file sharing on the actual router than the Asus RT-N16 will work. If you want those features I recommend the Asus RT-N66U. I myself used the Asus RT-N16 but after I upgraded my Comcast speeds it just couldn't keep up with since I used the advanced features. I decided to use an old PC and load it up with a Linux firewall distribution called pfSense and use my Asus RT-N16 only as a wireless access point doing this I didn't have to buy any new hardware but I spend a little more per month on electricity. It all depends on what you want to do good luck. The Asus RT-N16 doesn't provide me full 50Mbps download speeds since I run it in mixed mode to support wireless B/G/N at the same time. If it is run in wireless N mode only it will support the speeds just fine. The Asus RT-N66U is capable of doing dual band wireless so overall it's better for running a wireless network for these speeds.

I have it hooked up to our Charter (cable co.) high speed modem which works just fine. The cable internet is really fast but the speed is limited by the router, but its fast enough for our uses.

You have to have a cable modem separately regardless of which router you choose. But yes, it will work fine once you have the appropriate cable modem (probably a docsis 3.0 compliant modem.)

Go with Netgear, it's approved for all those providers and easy to set up. Also neither Linksys or Cisco have anything to do with the modem, last 3 years manufactured by Belkon.

Hmm I wish I had gotten this one then.Belkin N+ is a good router though and we haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.I would recommend it. But I'm thinking the version2 of this linksys is better.

Yes! It will work with Comcast, Cablevision, Verizon, etc. and you'll get faster speeds using Ethernet than you will with the wifi.

Hi Anne, This is a Modem only. It has no inherent router/wireless capabilities. It has a port for the Coaxial cable and another port, Ethernet, to plug in the Cable from your router. Normally, your router will have a special ethernet port for the wire to the modem and 4 other ethernet ports.I have this modem for over a year now and it has been pretty reliable, only dropping the connection when Comcast burps.Good Luck Jim

It is a high speed router but it is not a cable or dsl modem. You should use this router along with your current modem.

Yes, absolutely.. although you should probably disable the Comcast wireless feature and hard-wire the modem to the router for best throughput. You might want to consider returning it to Comcast, though, and just invest in a new cable modem that's optimized for the AC features (DOCSIS 3.0).. unless the Comcast modem is already DOCSIS 3.0 capable. Note that DOCSIS 3.1 is due out in 2014, but I doubt you would want to wait that long.

I'm not sure of that. My service is 15 mbps and it does just fine. My service provider is Time Warner and the RCA DCM425 was the modem they supplied, but you might contact your service provider and ask, or go to their website and check. Provider's websites will usually show which devices work with their system. That modem is a DOCSIS 2 and 50mbps may very well require a DOCSIS 3 modem.

The network portconnects to your router. The other 4 to wired devices giving you the highest available Ethernet cable speed. The plus is that the wireless spewed to your wireless devices is 2.4 or 5.0 gig. Your choice in setup. However, by law these devices are limited in range by the FCC so don't expect much if looking for something to give you much reliability beyond 100 feet.

You will need a router for WiFi. I had a very, very difficult time with Comcast and this modem. It ships with an outdated firmware and only Comcast can update it. I tried about 5 times with tech support and gave up. Try the Zoom modems instead.

You may want to consider this purchase instead: TRENDnet Wireless N 150 Mbps Open Source Home Router, TEW-712BRI actually purchased it on sale for about half price.

depending on what your set up is. like my house has a adsl2+ cable, so any modem that was compatible with that cable would work. you would have to call century link and find out what type of cable you have in your house.

For my Comcast connection I use the Motorola SURFboard SB6121 and it's excellent. Many Comcast customers use and recommend this (for modem only)You can use from the same Family the SURFboard with the wireless-N connection, the SBG6580. It combines the modem and a router.Or the easiest I think is get the modem and then a separate router as your choice, as soon as you have connection you just connect the router and it automatically uses your internet connection wirelessly.

Don't really know if there is a best recommendation; you might check MJ FAQ. I use a Cisco/Linksys E1200 router with a Comcast cable internet modem. There have been no problems with this configuration and the MJ Plus unit.

Yes - I would go cable modem to wireless router then from router to switch all with an ethernet cable. This is how I have it setup on my network.
