Connect All Your Devices
The built-in router provides high-speed shared Internet access to smartphones, HDTVs, computers, tablets, game stations, streaming media devices, and other Ethernet and WiFi devices.
Better WiFi with AC1600 Dual Band
Dual band gives you two WiFi networks operating simultaneously in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Single band routers only use the 2.4 GHz band. This band is often full of interference as all your devices share that single band with your neighbors. The 5 GHz band in dual band products is typically much less crowded and has less interference. The bottom line? Dual band delivers much better WiFi.
Beamforming
AnyBeam WiFi beamforming at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz focuses the wireless signal on your wireless devices to further enhance wireless performance.
Clean and Easy
Integrating the modem and router saves space, reduces wires and power cubes, and provides a single user interface.

I had to replace my old modem that gave many years of good service. Wanted to stick with the Motorola brand, so after reading all the reviews bought this model. I'm no tech and even switching out one modem for another gave me pause, but this was very simple. I disconnected my old modem and using the same connections, with the exception of the power cord , connected the new one and voila...the modem lit up. Called Comcast so they could do what they had to do and the modem was up and running. I must admit that I encountered a little problem trying to keep my old modem password, but that's me and my untechiness! Most people would probably have no problem doing it. Having said that, it took me no time to update and connect my devices to the new modem. I've had the new modem for a few weeks now and it is working very well. The signal is strong and when I have to work remotely or have a zoom meeting, the connection remains steady & strong. So I would definitely recommend this modem!

This router/modem combo worked very well for my mom when I bought it and installed it for her as a birthday gift in her small home of about 900 sq ft a few years ago. She wasn't that far from the router at any point in her house as it was centrally located and all was good. I was using the MB 7550 which is the Motorola unit above this one that has the AC 1900 router on the same modem in my house which is about 1300 sq ft but with the router on one end of the house and the bedrooms on the far end. Due to the 2.4 GHz band flaking out on the 7550 I recently switched over to this MB 7540 as my Mom has since come to live with me. If you're on the fence as to whether the extra 15 or 20 dollars for the MB 7550 over the MB 7540 is worth it then I would tell you from my experience it definitely is. The upgraded router is much stronger on the AC 1900 over the AC 1600 with much improved wifi signal across the house. I've noticed a big difference from a secondary computer with a wireless card to cell phones and two Rokus. Lastly due to dissatisfaction with the performance I'm getting from this MB 7540 and the flakiness of the other unit losing a band, I wouldn't recommend anyone purchase a combo unit unless you just don't have the space for a stand along router next to your modem. I subscribe to Comcast on their 200 mbps plan and the modem gives me consistently more than the bandwidth I pay for. Kudos to Motorola on that. I feel that for the expense of the unit you should be able to expect more than three years service before encountering problems.

Purchased to increase coverage in our 2000 sq. ft. home. Previous wireless router's signal was barely reaching the other end of our home. It was providing measurable but not useful wi-fi (that is, under 10 Mbps) in the deadest rooms. Installed this modem/router in minutes and activated it via Spectrum in under 10 minutes. After updating our network name (not required) I checked wi-fi speeds in those "dead" areas and measured at worst 71 Mbps and at best 106 Mbps (over several tests). That’s in the most distant parts of our home. Not surprisingly, we have increased speed in all other areas of our home as well, so it _feels_ as if we had an Internet speed upgrade. I should add that speeds near the router measure well over 200 Mbps (up to 212 Mbps) with this new router, so although it's not faster than the Spectrum router we had previously, it does produce a _considerably_ more powerful signal than our previous router. We are very happy we made this purchase. Simple installation, plus excellent performance for a reasonable amount of money equals satisfied consumers!

This gateway is well made, runs cool. It stands vertical. Wireless a,g,n &ac capable. It has TWO wireless networks, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, (new frequency range). The high band provides a 800 MHz bandwidth channel and handles 802.11n & ac on 5GHz and is about the same range on both networks. The 2.4 GHz handles the older protocols used by devices running 802.11a,g & n but is slower on wireless n because of 200 MHz channel bandwidth. This gateway, which features a DOCSIS 3 modem and wireless access point in one box runs way cooler than other gateways I've had. It has excellent air convection standing vertically as designed. There are NO external antennas but the Gateway needs to be placed clear of objects close to it and up high in the room with at least 12-inches clearance from ceiling. Reception pattern appears omnidirectional when placed this way with good range. Communication through a 2-way splitter to the cable head end is excellent! I recommend this for both older and new devices and if you can use the new 5 GHz band wireless network on your device, this is where you want to log on to, it's really fast! Currently getting 116 Mbps down on 100 Mbps cable service with a 802.11n connection. It has 4- wired RJ45 ports for equipment that does not have a wireless connection. While it has an auto setup screen, I recommend talking to your cable company to give device MAC address to them and have them do a full reset to eliminate that auto setup screen or it will not communicate with the head end properly. These and the default password are on the bottom of the unit and it features an internet based set up screen accessed by your browser and adjustments can be done wirelessly. If you change network name or password you must log back on to the network using the new name or password. The password applies to BOTH networks. The network ID's are separate and should be named differently. Security is WPA-PSK using AES encryption by default. You can change this if necessary by the set up screen. It has WPA with NO PIN and is activated by a button on the back. It also has a power on/off button for resetting without unplugging the unit. It's a reliable with good range connection that should cover your household nicely, even in big places!

Easy and strong out right out of the box (with a phone call to Spectrum/TWC aka: Time Warner Cable). I bought and installed this unit for my sister's four bedroom 1970's colonial house that was struggling with an OLD MODEL leased ($10/month) Arris modem/wifi router. With the old unit, streaming television via Roku stick units barely worked, and there wasn't a useable signal in the basement (finished bonus room with a smart tv and Apple TV).I'm the stubborn tech-brother, and I insisted on an upgrade. While I personally can attest to the stronger overall use of a split unit arrangement (cable modem --DOCSIS 3.0-- and separate wireless router), I know this household has to have a SIMPLE single device system. This works AMAZINGLY WELL. Simple setup via PC or handheld device, and I'm getting over 30mbs in the basement on both regular and 5G signal tests. It's only been two days, but for now, I HIGHLY recommend this unit. As a plus, when I called SPECTRUM cable to "activate" the modem, the Customer Service Rep, said (before anything else after I said I needed a personal modem activation) "I will first credit your account the $10 per month cable modem rental fee. Just return the rented unit to your nearest SPECTRUM CABLE facility". That was a nice surprise, though I don't expect any further great service from SPECTRUM cable....I will update this review in future months if it doesn't live up to my expectations. I DID also pay full price for this modem on Amazon. There is no discount or incentive given to me. Just try to skip the similar modem/wifi units that date back to 2012...
