Device Address Of My Spectrum Router

Easy to set up once I figured figured out that you need to get the MAC address of the router, then enter into your Spectrum account web interface. The modem/router works great otherwise as far as speed- best I have had so far. It is also easy to navigate user interface of router/add ip reservations, see attached devices on the LAN etc.

The CM1000 is a plug-n-play device without any configuration. However, it is a modem and not a router. This means once you connect a laptop to test the Internet connection directly, the ISP remembers the laptop's MAC address and makes subsequent installation of router difficult unless you are pairing it with a Netgear wifi router which allows it to emulate the earlier MAC address that works.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently switched to this router because the one I had kept switching my ip address. My internet would go out and equipment would not work. I'm glad I switched.

This router is a great router combo at an affordable cost. Works well with Spectrum!

This device provided me full control spectrum of my HVAC from anywhere in the world.

I was finally ready to make the jump to Wi-Fi 6. My previous router, an Apple Airport Extreme, didn’t reach to the farthest points of the house and I believed there was the prospect of even better speeds. Right out of the box, I flashed Merlin firmware on the device. It most definitely is reaching some areas of the house that were inaccessible before. However, most of my devices cannot take advantage of Wi-Fi 6. I don’t have many options for placement, and that seems to be the number one factor in getting better coverage throughout my home. I also set up a VPN at the router, so every device can benefit. It’s been rock, solid stable and was a good, but not great, purchase at full retail. If you’re planning to make the jump to Wi-Fi 6, temper your expectations. If and when these do inevitably fall in price, go for it. Asus routers are the best on the market, now that Apple has disappeared.

I upgraded my router from spectrum base model to this lovely nighthawk.. I was noticing lagging and traffic usage was slowing my spectrum router down.. the nighthawk router help my speeds by 200 mps but lowered my ping and can use all my devices without lag spikes! Most get in modem and routers

I was surprised at how easy it was to set up this router. I only had to call my ISP and give them my new MAC address. The Nighthawk router has so many features and is very secure. Constant monitoring of my network made this one of the best choices I have made. I am very glad to have purchased this router.

I've been using TP Link for over 8 years now. Prior was using ASUS. I upgraded from Archer CX3200 to this router. This router has a single 2.4 and a single 5 ghz band, but it supports wifi6 which can output over 4200 MBS. First i connected this router to my laptop by ethernet cable. I then used my wifi on the laptop to download in sequence the TP Link firmware updates to my laptop. I then tuend off the wifi and connected by wire to the laptop. to do this easily, I assigned an IP4 address and gateway to my laptop ethernet adapter. The router by default is 192.168.0.1 The box contains the administrator username and password. I kept the router's wifi signals off. Next after logging in, I updated the firmware to the current level, assigned the fixed ip address and max addresses to the new router I was using on my old router. I set up the wifi network names and passwords, guest networks, checked the signal strengths and channels being used in my area and set my wifi to the clearest channel bands. I set up my vpn, firewalls, etc. I set my dns to my preferred public dns and I set up my DHCP server for the range I like. Then I set the router's ip address to 192.168.1.1, shut it down. disconnected my old router, shut down my cable modem, connected the new router, powered it up and then powered up my cable modem. Since my wifi network names and passwords were the same, my devices connected. Also, I enabled the UNP on this router and all of my devices with port forwarding worked well without a glitch. My phone connected at wifi6 band and downloaded at over 600 mbs 15 feet from the router. A big plus for this router is the ability to set up a VPN client and server and specify several VPN connections as well as which devices you want to always use the VPN to pass traffic. For the money, its fast and stable.

Great switch from the standard router you would rent from Spectrum. Was having issues connecting 2.4ghz devices to the basic router from them. Bought this and didn’t realize how slow my WIFI was with their router. With the AX4200 my wifi speed is amazing, videos stream better than ever, gaming is much easier and I can now connect my Roomba to my wifi. No complaints so far! Their NETGEAR app also has a ton of features, albeit many that I might not use. However, it is nice to have those options! Thank you!
