Why we need to buy modem router combo
The rental’s possible price for a Modem Router Combo by most ISP is in the range between $13 to $16 per month. When you are ready to buy, you need know what plan you want to have for your need. The minimum download & upload speeds are about 25 Mbps and 3 Mbps, respectively. The common fast speed tiers are 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, 250 Mbps, 300 Mbps, 400 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 1000 Mbps, and 2000 Mbps. If your plan is a high-speed internet package, have a fast speed modem to handle the incoming/outgoing speed.
So, how do you choose a Modem Router Combo for your plan? First, the speed of the modem depends on the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS), a data transfer technology that provides internet access over a cable modem. Currently, most ISPs require at list a minimum of DOCSIS 3.0 and the latest is DOCSIS 3.1. The difference between the two versions is DOCSIS 3.0 supports speed up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) while the DOCSIS 3.1 supports up to 10,000 Mbps (10 Gbps). If you own a modem that supports a DOCSIS 3.1 you will use it for a long term while the ISP increase the speeds in the future. The following functions show the manufacturer's download/upload speed and upstream/downstream channels. Verify if your ISP supports the selected modem before purchase.
