I'm all in with Unifi hardware these days. I told them so!!! They back returning that garbage and doing what I told them to do in the first place.

I times I've told people to NOT buy a Combo unit and they do anyway and then start bitching that their Wifi sucks. I think for your needs, that is all you really need. In a couple of years if it makes more sense to go back to my own Cable Modem, I can easily swap it out and give them theirs back.Ī Cable modem will cost around $80. It doesn't really affect my own Wifi Network. Of course, I couldn't disable Comcast's Wifi. Then built-in Cable modem makes it 4 things. Your normal router, the Gateway,Wifi AP's and Switch (generally 4 ports) is all built in a single unit. I put it into Bridge Mode, and use my own high-end Ubiquiti Hardware including the UXG-Pro for my Gateway and U6-Pro and U6-Lite for my Wifi Access Points. See with my own modem, I'm paying the extra $30 a month for Unlimited Service!! Now renting their modem/router for $10 a month, they're giving me FREE Unlimited Internet!!! That is a $20 a month savings. This sounds DUMB, but by using their new Combo Modem/Router, I would save $20 a month even though I'm paying $10 a month to rent the dumb thing!!! I had my own Cable modem recently, BUT it was time to get on a new 1 year plan to get my costs backs down, and I wanted it even lower. All in one device makes home setup easy for everyone.īuying your own, you have gotten a Cable Modem. That was a mistake!!! Combo Units SUCK!!! The IPS's generally do it because it's simple and cost-effective. u/RoweDent created this awesome resource on network theory u/tht1kidd_ has created a suggestion post regarding information everyone needs to provide when asking a question about their network There have been some excellent guides written in this sub, and we're always looking for more!
