Have model 1408. How do I know what generation? Speed compared to a new Cable/Router I could buy for Xfinity?

I'm not quite sure how to tell the exact generation. This one was purchased before the newest version (that looks like a tower) was released. I've noticed faster speeds vs a "leased" router from Comcast. However with this router you would need to purchase or lease a modem from your internet provider. I went ahead and purchased a Motorola modem to connect this to. Hope this helps.

Not only can you, you should! I went from a Arris TG862G to this modem, and although the specs are similar, the performance has been a huge improvement. Further, if you are renting, it will pay its cost back in 13 months - and as this is a newer product, you will likely have it for years.Also, as a PS - Comcast had no problem accepting this device

I've had this modem for a long time and I have Comcast/Xfinity. However, I just looked at the approved device list on the Comcast website (http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/) and the SB5120 is no longer listed.

Pretty much any of them. The 68R is pretty backwards-compatible, but if you want to take advantage of higher speeds of the more recent wireless ac standard, check the extender to see whether it supports that. You can also purchase a powerline networking kit that has wireless extender capability, too--that will give you an ethernet connection as well wherever you're extending your network.

I don't know about comcast. I am with TWC, Cg3000d is not in their list as well, only CG3000Dv2. However, I can use Cg3000d to get online with TWC, in Chapel Hill. I think CG3000Dv2 is second version of Cg3000d, but still works very well for my case. May be some comcast users can give you a confirm answer.

There is a very long review, dated October 18th, 2012 that explains it all. Try the auto install first. In my case it found a modem, but the wrong one. Look very carefully. If this is the wrong one, don't go any farther. Just call Xfinity and they will walk you through it. Make sure to tell them you want to port your number to the new modem. Although it was a process, it was worth it. Also make sure to call xfinity again after you have returned the modem to a service center. They have to be told to take the $7.00 monthly lease charge off your bill. I'm assuming you have comcast/xfinity.

You can go to netgear.com and chose cable modem router and then the model Cgd24G to download the manual and find out, I can't remember.

Thanks arrowhead, That's what I thought-from the few posts I could find -I already ordered a TRENDnet 10/100, 8 port switch, as I now need more ports to connect a new BD player by wire for updating its firmware. The 25 Mbps when streaming was mentioned in a few reviews of the switch. Thanks for confirming.

Yes, I have the TG862G and I run XFinity phone, wired and wireless internet. I don't pay rent anymore for modem and router. TV requires a separate digital cable box supplied by Comcast. Some configuration may be required, which Comcast Support will not help you with. I was able to resolve my iphone5 connectivity issues by going to online forums. Everything is working fine now.

I found it to be exactly the same. The only difference being the gigabit WAN support. Old one would top out at ~70 and this one easily handles our 100/20

Mr. Stenberg ~ I'm not equipped to explain techie things, but that's why I've got my (2) Trendnet boxes. The first one was strictly to use my Roku (purchased a few yrs. ago) then I noticed I was getting interruptions a lot, so bought the new, TRW-736 to boost it. Found out later, I can get all I need from my main modem . however, I'm not removing ANYthing!! I've got the 3 on my table, behind my monitor, and that's where they'll stay! I'd hate to upset the apple cart. I wish i could help you more, but I believe going online to one of the help sites might be your better bet in getting assistance. I apologize for being so naive in this area. JMA

I have the TREND net AC1750 and have been more than pleased with its capabilities. When buying a new router I did so much research i knew more than the sales people at most retail stores (best buy, office depot). This was the best one available and had a great price at $140. I have a 30MBS internet connection and that is more than enough for streaming on multiple devices at one time. Let me know if you want anymore information...

Hi, this model is on the Comcast approved equipment list. I'm using Comcast too, but currently I'm experiencing difficult time with this setup. It is not consistent/reliable in the speed for some unknown reason. It can be very fast when it works properly but later the speed will drop almost to a halt. Very frustrating and have called Comcast multiple times, but as of today, the problem still exists.

I'm not sure what the difference is in the modem/routers. I know that the "Z" model is the newest generation.

Yes it is, but make sure your ISP supports that model because Comcast decided they dont. So I had to return it because of that.

I bought one for time warner cable in so cal. When I registered it w twc, my internet went from lightning fast to a slow crawl. I don't know if it was the device or intentional by twc, I assume twc slowed me intentionally.
