Interestingly TP-Link seems to have removed the CR1900 AC1900 model from their website. It only shows TC-W7960 under their Cable-Gateways category. Yes if you search in their website, you find it, but odd that it’s not being advertised…

I concur that TP-Link 1900 is THE BEST cable modem WiFi Router available today for home use. I tried the other brands, even tried several mesh devices costing over $300 and NONE of them compare to the WiFi signal strength I am getting from the TP-Link. In fairness, being in a 2 story 2100sf home with the modem/router upstairs receiving 120Mbps signal from Cox Cable to feed 49 WiFi devices on the 2 floors plus 4 in back yard, I did have to add a TP-Link RE450 WiFi extender downstairs and am also using 2 TP-Link RE200 extenders on the back of 2 downstairs big screen TVs. Using the Ethernet connections from the RE200 extenders, my TVs are receiving up to 47Mbps when tested using the Speedtest app. BOTTOM LINE: Not one of the other devices and combination of devices worked as well so I plan to stick with TP-Link 1900 until and unless I find something better at the 2020 CES Show.

Hi,

All combos on our list use DOCSIS 3.0. In terms of combos there isn’t much choice when it comes to 3.1.
NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Nighthawk-Ultra-High-Compatible-Gig-speed/dp/B01I8KA48G/ offers DOCSIS 3.1 so you may want to check it out. We’re not sure it supports triple play. Phone jacks are rare even in DOCSIS 3.0 modems (not even combos). It’s better to consult with the manufacturer regarding this.

I am starting with Comcast with their Gigabit package triple play. I am looking to use a router/ modem and have someone install a switch to allow me to get all my tvs ethernet ports, as well as, each of my google wifi points hard wired in for best possible performance.

I am researching router/ modems and Xfinity told me I need to search the following- “modem router combo xfinity comcast with phone jack gigabit 3.1 that has DOCSIS 3.1”

What is the best router I can buy that will help in the application.

I am probably going to get approximately 14 total ethernet ports.

Also I am having my cameras run into the router as well.

Please help thanks!!
