Anyone getting 2.5Gbps speed, I envy you.

I've been running one with zero downtime and consistently great speeds for 6 months now. Highly recommend this.

Quote from Gb1908 :
Most MB only have a single gigabit port. Also 2.5 - 10GBE are still not in common use yet and in expensive routing hardware.
I think the even more limiting factor right now is actually finding an ISP to supply a >1Gbs connection.

That said, this modem does offer some future proofing, and 2.5/5/10GigE hardware is definitely becoming cheaper and more mainstream every day:
MikroTik now has a 4-port 10GbE switch for under $150, and a 10GbE router for under $200.
QNAP has a 2.5GbE switch for under $120
TP-Link has an all-in-one wireless router for under $200, with a 2.5GbE port that can be configured for either LAN or WAN.
I picked up a L2 managed 52-port switch with 4x 10GbE uplink ports for less than $300, and that was probably 5+ years ago.

Have not seen ANY wifi routers with even 2.5GBE for under $200

I don't have any experience with it, but Costco [costco.com] has the TP-Link AX3200 w/ Wi-Fi 6 for $149.99. It only has one 2.5Gbs port, so you're limited to either LAN or WAN, but 2.5GbE wireless routers do exist under $200. Obviously, a full 2.5/5/10Gb end-to-end network would cost more than that, but prices have come down a lot.

It would seem link aggregation put 2.5GBE in some competition. Also mid year are generally the lowest for routers. Uptake will still be slow.

Bb has the Motorola mb8611 for $169 as well. D3.1 x 8 w/2.5 Ethernet port.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/moto...Id=6451964

Im also reading that the Moto has more useful indicator lights than the Arris? Kind of a nitpicky thing to be concerned about until you need to troubleshoot with your cable company.

Anyone know the differences between these two? Any pitfalls?

Quote from GreenKite4385 :
I have the the traditional rental from xfinity and don't even need a router because it already has WiFi and 4 Ethernet ports. I guess it depends what you need a router for.

Edit: this is not the one you want unless your willing to buy a separate router. This does not have Ethernet plugs probably doesn't have WiFi either
Slick Dealers don't rent from Xfinity. Slick Dealers buy a modem and router. Bite the bullet and buy. Don't rent.

I currently have a NETGEAR DOCSIS 3.1 Gigabit (CM1000) modem. Would I benefit anything by upgrading to this modem?

Just from personal experience. Arris products are not reliable. Modem runs hot and constant crashes. Router locks up and stops network. Also app for router was garbage for the longest, recent update made it much easier to work with, but network still crashes.

No, unless you have issues with your current one.

Quote from Wagg :
But with only a 2.5Gbps port how future proof will it be? Serious question.

I'd be surprised if even 2gbps will be offered without a major change to the technology. Docsis 3.1 will be limited to 1.2gbps in the US simply due to the frequency spectrum available for use. Cable internet is about delivering over long distances, if you want more speed you'll have to look into fiber.

Really? I need uncapped data limits, and for me it's cheaper to bundle that with a rented XB7 than use my own. My customer-owned modem is sitting in a closet.

Comcast is already provisioning its Gig service at 1.4Gbps. I see it on my connection.
