Hi,

So we have a Netgear WNDR3400v3 Netgear Router at home and a Arris Surfboard SB6141 Cable Modem at home.

We are currently paying for a 200 MBPS (download) and 100 MPBS (upload) plan through Comcast Xfinity. We are not even noticing those speeds, and we would like to potentially upgrade something.

The cable modem (Arris) Seems very old… so it could be that, but I wanted some opinions on this first.

Any suggestions on what to upgrade?
Please DM me any upgrade suggestions.

If it is the cable modem, anything cheap or budget that supports our current internet speed will help.

Thanks so much,

Andrew

P.S.

is this a good modem upgrade?
