The 30-day average on this system sits at $367.58, so today's price undercuts that mark by nearly $88. The 90-day average runs $298.17, which the current figure also beats.

This is a combo unit aimed at anyone still renting a modem from their cable provider and paying a monthly fee for hardware they will never own.

What You're Getting

• Cable modem router and mesh satellite working as one network, covering up to 5,000 sq. ft. for 40 or more devices.
• AX4200 tri-band WiFi 6 with speeds up to 4.2 Gbps and a dedicated band for the mesh connection.
• Four Gigabit Ethernet ports on the router and two on the satellite for consoles, streamers, and computers.
• Setup through the Orbi app on iOS or Android, plus web browser management from anywhere.
• Certified with Xfinity up to 900 Mbps, Spectrum up to 1 Gbps, and Cox up to 1 Gbps.

Who This Is For

Best for households on a cable plan that want to drop the rental modem and kill dead zones in one move. The 5,000 sq.

ft. coverage target suits larger homes with multiple floors or a garage and backyard that need signal.

Anyone running fiber, DSL, or satellite internet should look elsewhere, since this modem only works over coax.

The Caveat

The system tops out at 900 Mbps on Xfinity and 1 Gbps on Spectrum and Cox, so gigabit-plus subscribers will not see the full speed their plan allows. You also need to contact your provider to activate the modem before it goes live.

Final Verdict

If you are paying a monthly modem rental and fighting weak WiFi in the back rooms, this bundle replaces both problems for $279.99, well under its recent average. Skip it if you are on fiber or already locked into a provider-supplied gateway you cannot swap out.
