- Does the CAX30S replace my cable modem and router?
- Yes. It is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem with a built-in WiFi 6 router, so it replaces both devices and the rental modem from your cable provider.
- What internet speeds does it support?
- It is rated for cable plans up to 10 Gbps down and 1 Gbps up, with 32 downstream and 8 upstream channels. Real throughput depends on your provider's plan and signal.
- How fast is the WiFi?
- It is AX2700: up to 900 Mbps on 2.4GHz and 1800 Mbps on 5GHz across six streams. Wired devices get Gigabit speeds through the four LAN ports.
- Does it work with mesh systems?
- No. It has no mesh or EasyMesh support, so it cannot join a mesh network. You would add a separate access point or extender for more coverage.
- Which cable providers support it?
- It works with cable providers that allow retail DOCSIS 3.1 modems. Check your provider's approved modem list before buying, since some providers restrict which models they activate.
