It may not be new but i just got the upgrade: built-in WIFI and horrendous 1Ghz speeds if you can pay such bills.

I had an old LinkSys wifi - 2nd owner - the damn thing crashed so often the previous owner had broken the front panel reset button ! And it's reach: not so good.

The upgrade modem for COX (ARRIS/Motorola) has two wifi that reach the whole indoors comfortably.

Earlier modems allowed only two IP addresses if you had a family you had to set up your own DMZ. Today you get 5 IP minimum, 9+ if you pay up. And earlier also didn't have the web setup (moreso the features needed) to really do any kind of job. New one? All you really need and a bit more. The last one I didn't even check features of because I'd already had a stable setup (since the 90's that needed maintenance in terms of (every 5 years? too long to measure)).

Only prob is how long they took to arrive :)

Huge time saver, no need for extra routers or software routers!

ohhh I like this thing very much. I think it will be useful for my business. I honestly can't fantom who the heck doesn't know to get access to their own router and IP address. I have known it since I was a teen and we were only beginning to use Wifi and internet networks in general. I get it that they can change depending on the device you are using but the one code that always worked for me was 192.168.0.1 . I never had problems accessing that vital in some cases information with it. Hope it helps haha
