Linksys Ships Its First DOCSIS Cable Modem + Wi-Fi RouterPLAYA VISTA, Calif., May 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Linksys®, a leader in networking solutions for the home and business today announced it is shipping its first Cable Modem + Router (also known as a Gateway): the new AC1900 Dual-Band Cable Modem Router (CG7500). The 2-in-1 AC1900 Cable Modem Router combines a DOCSIS 3.0 24x8 Modem and AC1900 Wi-Fi Router into one space saving, high-performing wireless device, with wireless speeds up to 1.9 Gbps*. This new gateway eliminates the need for a separate cable modem, so users have fewer devices cluttering their space, and is ideal for busy online households offering ample bandwidth for streaming, online gaming, and more. Built for internet plans up to 300 Mbps*, it's compatible with major service providers including Spectrum® and Xfinity® - helping to eliminate annual rental fees up to $120.
As cable broadband service providers roll out more premium cable services, the requirement for having the right hardware to go along with new services is critical to ensuring customers maximize their internet speeds. "Combining the Wi-Fi router with a cable modem as a single solution helps consumers declutter their home environments while eliminating extra hardware rental costs charged by most cable companies," said Brian Nickell, product manager at Linksys. "Our entrance into the gateway market shows our commitment in providing consumers with high performance cable products combined with the latest wireless technology to deliver the ultimate Wi-Fi experience throughout the home."
