Do You Need a Modem for Fiber Internet? No — Here's What Replaces It
Fiber doesn't use a modem — an ONT replaces it. What each fiber ISP requires, when you can use your own router, and what to do with your old cable ...
The Motorola MG7700 is packed with all the features you need to keep your devices connected to fast, reliable data. This 2-in-1 device combines a 24x8 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem with a built-in AC1900 dual-band wireless router and four Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Its advanced firewall security keeps your home's data safe and guards against malicious virtual attacks. One of the standout features of this model is the Power Boost WiFi amplifiers, which push your WiFi signal into the far corners of your home. Additionally, AnyBeam beamforming technology operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, focusing the signal directly on your wireless devices to further enhance performance and range.
The Motorola MG7700 is certified for use with a variety of top US cable providers, including Comcast Xfinity, Cox, Spectrum, Charter, and Time Warner Cable.
Investing in a widely compatible modem means that if you relocate, your equipment is much more likely to work with the provider in your new city—saving you the time and money of purchasing a different model down the road. (Note: This model is a cable modem and is not compatible with Verizon, AT&T, CenturyLink, or other fiber optic, satellite, or DSL services.)
The MG7700's built-in router provides high-speed, shared internet access to all your home devices, including smartphones, smart TVs, computers, tablets, gaming consoles, and streaming media players. Thanks to simultaneous dual-band technology, you'll experience enhanced signal strength and connectivity throughout your entire home, eliminating the dead zones and spotty connections common with single-band routers.
Featuring 24x8 channel bonding, the Motorola MG7700 supports internet download speeds up to 686 Mbps. For your wired connections, the four built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports allow you to transfer data between network devices at up to 1,000 Mbps. This provides a massive performance boost for home offices, intensive PC gaming, or streaming from a local media server.
