I've been using Arris modems for years.

I tried this Netgear modem a few weeks ago. I was surprised that Netgear requires logging in with user name and password to get into the modem's configuration page.... can anyone tell me why?

thanks!
ur old router remembers ur modem credentials. so the new router needs a new log in

Is it me or did someone in the Netgear department for this model had either skip on the aesthetics design or they didn't have enough money for that department.
This thing looks like it came from the early 2000 period.

I hear you, thanks for the help! My router is a Sagemcom SAC2V2S. I'm reading up on it now and I'm realizing that I'm unable to choose between 2.4 and 5 GHz, which isn't much of a concern for me, but I would also like wifi 6 (even though I probably won't need it at my current speed).
Thats a "newer" last gen wave 2 design. The hardware is ironically top end AC (4x4) and "good", but we might be firmware/sw limited here.


One of two things is likely happening considering you live in new york (city?)

Interference is high with neighbors and your signal integrity is just messy. In conjunction, the router might be doing something funky with channels and or switching.


I don't really recommend this, but a router with DFS support might be viable here since it will give you its own set of private channels.. On the flip side, they might not work since govt channels and airport will effectively disable them and switch you to the traditional 36-48 or 149-161 80mhz bands if the router detects it.

Gotcha. Yeah I'm in NYC, in an 8 apartment complex, physically connected to 50 other apartments on a block, all using Spectrum (and probably the same model modems and routers). It really might not be the router at all, but for $65 I'll take a chance.

Has Netgear updated their software lately? I have one of their older routers and tried their mesh routers (Orbi) and the software the same crappy stuff from 20 years ago with some lipstick on it.

sorry if I didn't make it clear... the Arris modem never asks for user name and password.... in fact, there's no such setting in the modem's configuration. (even when the modem is connected directly into the computer, with no router anywhere)

but the Netgear modem that I tried did have user name and password requirement... so I was wondering why Arris modems don' t do that...

does that mean Arris modems are less secure than Netgear modems?

It sounds like there might be some misunderstanding. The Arris is likely a modem, which connects to the Internet. The Netgear is a router which splits the modem's connection to allow multiple devices to connect to the Internet. The modem will likely only allow one device to connect to the Internet.

The Netgear router also has wireless access, which is part of the reason why it requires a username and password - people don't need physical access to your devices, they could potentially connect to your network outside of your home.

From what I've read there's 2 different "accounts" being referenced. The admin account to access router settings (admin/password default), and a Netgear account, which some have complained is required to be able to setup router..Example: https://old.reddit.com/r/NETGEAR/...ss_router/

Get the RAX35 (basically a Nighthawk AX3000 RX40 without a USB port) on walmart for $81 it's still on sale. I used it for Wireless PCVR with my Oculus Quest 2. worked like a dream at 4k@120hz! my previous wifi5 router could only do 72hz and it wasn't that smooth. these wifi6 routers are fasssstttttt
So you saw a marked increase in performance going from a similarly powered AC router to this? Been wondering if its worth the money

Does anyone know if this can be set up in a wireless bridge mode configuration?
