Amazon is offering the NETGEAR Nighthawk 802.11ac Wi-Fi Router and DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem (C7000) for $149.98 shipped. Also at Walmart. For comparison, it goes for $210 at Best Buy and this is a match for the lowest price we’ve tracked in new condition. We have seen it as low as $100 refurbished, and it’s still at that price for those interested. This modem/router combo is the best way to get fast Internet with Wi-Fi built-in. Plus, it’ll allow you to ditch your modem subscription from Comcast or other cable providers, saving you up to $120 per year, paying for itself in just 15 months. Rated 3.9/5 stars.
If you don’t need the higher speeds of the Nighthawk above, then the ARRIS Surfboard 802.11ac and DOCSIS 3.0 router/modem for $60 does a great job. It’s AC1600 instead of AC1900 with a max speed of 343Mbps instead of 960Mbps, so keep that in mind when shopping.
