This 2-in-1 networking device pairs an 802.11ac Wave 2 router with a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem to streamline your home networking setup. Featuring dual band connectivity, you’re looking at up to 10Gb/s of overall throughput, four Gigabit Ethernet ports, and 32 downstream channels.

Update @ 4:20 PM: Amazon offers the NETGEAR 802.11ac Wi-Fi Mesh Range Extender EX6250 for $89 shipped. Normally selling for $120, today’s offer is good for a 26% discount and marks a new all-time low at Amazon.

Another perk of the combo modem and router is that it can save you up to $120 per year. Most ISP charge you $10 per month for renting a modem, so ditching the provided one in favor of this is a great way to save even more. This ARRIS modem is compatible with popular ISPs like Xfinity and Cox. Be sure to check with your provider to confirm compatibility.
Those who already have a capable Wi-Fi router but are still renting a cable modem from their ISP will definitely want to consider picking up this ARRIS SURFboard Docsis 3.1 model at $95 less than the hybird device above. You’ll still get to enjoy many of the same features as the featured deal, but just centered around an existing Wi-Fi network.
