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.
