Both Arris S33 and SB8200 have two ethernet ports, but the S33 is more future-proof as it comes with the following configuration: One 2.5Gbps port, 1 Gbps port, whereas the SB8200 comes with two 1 Gbps ports.

Here is a link with a good comparison. Nevertheless, the SB8200 is great as well.

You might see pfSense folks here so they're probably going to recommend that. I've been a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite user for almost 6 years now. No complaints here. Prior to that, I've used Netgear and Linksys.

I understand but have a follow up question I have decom9 plus 3 pack can i connect s33 to the deco and I can get wifi?

You have to understand networking otherwise you can get lost with EdgeRouter equipment. I personally run the EdgeRouterX that cost me like $25 and it's a pretty robust feature set.

I know it's expensive but if you can afford it, the Ubiquiti Dream Machine is worth every penny. Had a few friends get it and they never call me for wifi related issues again. If you have a big house, one UDM plus two extra WAPs are gonna solve all your wifi related problems for good.

The first 2 have the exact same chipset but the Moto has the big benefit of being in a much larger case which should help with heat disapation. That's why I'd rank the 8611 ahead of the S33. For the record as well - had a lot of trouble with the S33 on WOW and returned it.

I have WOW 1 gig plan do you think this one is better to have

Probably. There are a lot of guides out there to help folks. The GUI can help. By default, I think it's already set to work just fine for majority of the use cases. Then again, I wouldn't know. I didn't run the wizard. I configured mine using CLI.

UDM/Pro is meh. I'd rather use pfSense than get UDM/Pro. I just hope that they continue to support EdgeOS because I like their EdgeMax product line than their UniFi OS based product line.

I also use ERX at my gf's place. We've been using it for more than 4 years. We also use nanoHD for Wi-Fi.

I disagree with the assessment to be honest. The wizard should work in majority of the use cases.

Thanks, I was wishing to get s33 and hook to deco M9 and make them as router. If that's possible or get s33 a UDM ( if you think it's straight forward) and the. Hook to deco M9 for more coverage? Thoughts?

I don't have experience with mesh products. I actually use separate APs instead of mesh products. I just have biased opinion with mesh.

I'd advise you against getting the UDM or UDM-P. Then again, I'm bias. EdgeOS is superior operating system than UniFi OS if you want more router features included. It is after all used in some WISPs.

My charter was going out constantly. This helped because it reboot much quicker than their modem. Eventually they replaced the lines outside and in to resolve the issue. But this was after 4-5 techs. Some coming and doing nothing. The last 2 were escalated calls that changed out the lines and not just the endings.

Without being an expert. I'd say yes. This is future proof and cheap compared to original price. This is the price you'd expect for older tech. But this is future proof.

Quote from CanesFan :
I just found out today that firmware updates are pushed out by Comcast/Xfinity. After doing some research it looks like the latest firmware update was done late last year and that just happens to be around the time I started having issues as well. My internet goes down and I have to unplug and plug the modem for it to start working again. At first it would just go down and reconnect on its own but the past few months it won't and I need to unplug and plug back in. This was happening almost daily for a few weeks but at least it has slowed down a bit recently.

They told me they upgrading towers in my area and that's why I'm having the issue

Check with your neighbors as well--if it was any equipment upgrades then the glitches would not just impact you.
