WiFi Cable Modem Router: NETGEAR\’s AC1900 WiFi Cable Modem
Router (C7000) combines a cable modem and WiFi router in one device, so you can
connect to your cable internet service provider and other network devices in
your home without having to connect a separate router or gateway. The NETGEAR
AC1900 is certified by most major cable Internet providers in the US. The WiFi
cable modem router saves you money over time by owning your cable equipment and
avoiding monthly rental charges from your cable internet service provider.

US Cable Internet Service Provider Compatibility: The AC1900
WiFi Cable Modem Router is compatible with most major US cable internet service
providers; like Comcast XFINITY (including Comcast XFINITY Blast), Time Warner
Cable (including Time Warner Cable Maxx), Cox, Charter, Cablevision &
more. The cable modem supports the assignment of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by
cable Internet providers. Not compatible with Cable bundled voice services.

CableLabs DOCSIS 3.0 Certified: The NETGEAR AC1900 WiFi
Cable Modem Router is designed to meet DOCSIS 3.0 specifications and backward
compatible with DOCSIS 2.0 networks. DOCSIS 3.0 is 16-times faster than 2.0
devices.

Powerful 1.6GHz Combined Processor w/ 24×8 Channel Bonding:
Its powerful 1.6GHz combined processor supports 24 download & 8
upstream channels simultaneously for efficient and reliable Internet access. You
get up to 960Mbps download speed for streaming
HD videos, faster downloads, and high-speed online gaming.

Simultaneous Dual Band WiFi (2.4GHZ/5GHz): The NETGEAR
AC1900 WiFi Cable Modem Router supports WiFi connection speeds up to 600Mbps in
the 2.4GHz band for 802.11n devices and up to 1300Mbps in the 5GHz band for
802.11ac devices. Both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands can be active simultaneously. The
modem router supports the following advanced WiFi features –

• WiFi Multimedia (WMM): WMM QoS prioritizes WiFi data
  packets from different applications based on four access categories – voice,
  video, best effort, and background.
• Protected Management Frames (PMF): Protected Management
  Frames (PMF) is a security feature that protects unicast and multicast
  management frames from being intercepted and changed for malicious purposes.
• Wireless Multicast Forwarding (WMF): Wireless Multicast
  Forwarding (WMF) lets the modem router forward multicast frames to wireless
  LAN (WLAN) hosts, using unicast addresses. WMF provides robust wireless
  communication because unicast frames are acknowledged, retried, and
  dynamically rate-controlled.
• Airtime Fairness (ATF): Airtime Fairness (ATF) ensures
  that all WiFi clients receive equal time on the network. Network resources
  are divided by time, so if five WiFi clients are connected to the network,
  they each get one-fifth of the network time. The advantage of this feature
  is that the slowest WiFi clients do not control network responsiveness.

802.11ac: The modem router supports the 802.11ac networking
standard. This new standard offers better speed, improved reliability, and more
range than older WiFi networking standards. The extender is also backward
compatible with earlier WiFi a/b/g/n standards. However, to get the benefits of
802.11ac, your WiFi router must support the 802.11ac WiFi networking standard.
In comparison, the latest 802.11ac WiFi standard is 3x faster than the older
802.11n WiFi standard. 

Beamforming+: Beamforming+ boosts speed, reliability, and
range of WiFi connections on 2.4 and 5GHz bands. Unlike typical WiFi routers
that just blast the WiFi signals in all directions; with Beamforming+ the router
& device communicate with each other, so the router can directly beam the WiFi
signal to the device. The result is a stronger, faster, more reliable connection
that is locked in even when the device is moved around the home.
