Will the MG7700 work with my cable provider?

It is certified by major cable providers such as Xfinity, Cox and Spectrum. It does not work with fiber, DSL or satellite services from Verizon, AT&T, CenturyLink or Frontier.

What internet speed does it support?

Motorola rates the modem for service plans up to 650 Mbps. On gigabit plans it will hold your speed below the plan's maximum.

Do I still need a separate router?

No. The MG7700 includes an AC1900 dual-band Wi-Fi 5 router with four Gigabit Ethernet ports, so one device covers both jobs.

Does it support cable phone service?

No. It has no telephone port, so it cannot replace a modem that provides voice service.

Is it a good upgrade over an older DOCSIS 3.0 modem?

It adds 24x8 channel bonding and built-in AC Wi-Fi, which helps on mid-tier plans. If you have a gigabit plan or want Wi-Fi 6, a newer modem and router are a better fit.

The modem-router unit, a power adapter and an Ethernet cable for connecting to a router or device are included, along with setup documentation.

About the Motorola MG7700 Cable Modem and WiFi Router

This Motorola MG7700 combines a 24x8 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem with a built-in AC1900 dual-band Wi-Fi gigabit router. Wi-Fi runs on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It gives smartphones, notebooks, tablets and other Wi-Fi devices internet access. Four Gigabit Ethernet ports connect Windows and Mac computers and other Ethernet-capable devices by wire.

Power amplifiers boost the wireless signals to the legal limit for more speed and range. AnyBeam technology works at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz and focuses the signal on wireless clients. A Broadcom cable modem chipset provides protection from denial of service attacks, and the router includes firewall security.

Combining the modem and router in one unit reduces wiring and power adapter clutter and saves desk space. It has a vertical design. Lightning and power surge circuits add protection. It works with cable internet service only.
