upgraded aging modem recently - Malcolm80 - 07-05-2021

i invested in a sleek, more powerful modem router combo... netgear night hawk c7000v2 model...

some descriptions:

WiFi Cable Modem Router • Two-in-one—Cable Modem + WiFi Router • Save up to $168 a year**—No rental fees • 24x8 channel bonding technology enables extreme cable Internet speeds • Certified with Xfinity with speeds up to 600Mbps, Spectrum service of 400Mbps, and with Cox service speeds of 150Mbps. • Max WiFi speed up to 1.9Gbps with AC1900 • Powerful 1.6GHz processor boosts performance for streaming & gaming • Enjoy uninterrupted HD video streaming with AC1900 WiFi and 24x8 channel bonding • Beamforming+ for whole home HD coverage • Access & share stored media via USB port • Find & play stored media on TVs & game consoles via DLNA® server

the beamforming is new to me...apparently this allows me to make calls on cell in my home without going outside to make a call which plagued me for a year. it spreads out the wifi signals, eliminating the deadzones -i think lol? :p
