I strongly suggest you search each model and check the reviews. I can't remember the model, but teksavvy sent me one at the start of the pandemic when I wanted to upgrade to 300M. Different modems have different upper limits of performance. The modem I got was a nightmare and kept dropping out at the worst possible time. I subsequently did some research on it, and there was nothing but horror stories. I had to return it at my expense. On Fri, Mar 24, 2023 at 11:32 PM Yoshua Wakeham via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:
Hi all!
My toddler spilled a cup of water on our TekSavvy modem (Technicolor TC4350), and now we need a new modem. Welp. TekSavvy sent us the list of compatible modems. My question is – are there any important considerations for this decision other than price and (immediate!) availability? I don't think I've ever actually had to choose my modem, so I don't know what I don't know.
Here are the options, all opinions welcome:
- Technicolor CGA4234DGW WiFi - Firmware must be CGA4234-P15-13-CA902-c0200r181-191007 - Hitron CODA-4680 WiFi - Firmware must be 7.1.1.2.2b9 - Teksavvy sells for $199.95 or $16.66/month for 12 months + $10 shipping. We also rent for the cost of $8 per month. - Hitron CODA-45 - Firmware must be 7.2.4.3.1b3 - Teksavvy sells for $139.95 or $11.66/month for 12 months + $10 shipping. We also rent for the cost of $6 per month. (Not recommended to be acquired outside Teksavvy due to firmware) - Technicolor TC4400 - Firmware must be SR701343-190628-D - (Usually available at Canada Computers) - Compal Broadband Networks Inc. (CBN) CD8000 - Firmware must be 7.13.198.12 - (Usually available at Canada Computers) - Sercomm DM1000 - Firmware must be V1.12.03.011 - Compal Broadband Networks Inc.
