Almost all routers require that so anyone can't just go in and hijack your stuff
These low end broadcom routers aren't technically triple or quadcore processors (relative to higher end designs) but I digress.

If only 160mhz channel width offered practical benefits on 5Ghz Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)


Wifi 6 radios are generally faster in terms of processing speed (1.5Ghz vs 800mhz on Broadcom ARM A7), but these lower end 2x2 AX designs are equivalent to 2x2 AC1200 "spec" for AC clients in regards to performance at distance. Real world performance depends on amplifiers, amplification value, antenna height, tuning and specific clients used as not all perform identical. (IE: intel client vs broadcom and or qualcomm).

These entry 2x2 designs are great for AX clients, but end up in a weird bubble of performing worse than first gen AC 3x3 designs and higher end last gen 4x4 wave 2 radios with certain legacy hardware.

I don't want to steer people the wrong way as theres obvious benefits of running these cheaper AX routers with AX clients, but its not a 1 stop solution for overall improvement of wifi performance, especially since majority clients are indeed AC right now and that wont change until client pricing of AX hardware is cheap enough for IoT.

My recommendation.. Look for a deal on a 4x4 or newer 3x3 radio for consistency in upgrade paths, but thats at least double the price realistically speaking (on sale).

3x3 AX (new) will change this in around a year. Stuff like AX68U should be marked down as low as $100-120. This is at least an "upgrade" from legacy AC1750 spec.
To follow up on this, a lot of people don't care to secure it any further than "you must be connected to the network to access the config page". But you might not want everyone with the wifi pass to be able to change settings (guests, family, whatever). It's another layer of access control.

Which spectrum router do you have? Theres a lot of variables here.

For example... the spectrum Wave 2 designs they offer are quite good hardware wise.. Just limited by locked admin panel and auto switching bands which can cause a ton of issues.

The older Sagecom AC1750 is processing limited. Very weak core feeding into first gen qualcomm radios.


Edit: If it's a small place, these entry AX routers are generally fine. They also pay for themselves in a year since you'll avoid the $5 a month rental charge (assuming router is around $60)
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).

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.

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/
