I have an SB6183 modem any advantage to upgrading?
I have an SB6183 modem any advantage to upgrading? I only have internet, I’m satisfied with having a separate router, and I have 50 Mbps service which is fine for my use.
Are there any advantages to getting a shiny new modem? Better security? More stable connection? Prettier? (Okay, I don’t care about that one :)
if yes to any adavantages, which one?
thanks

Just a fellow user here, but if you're getting good reliable service from your SB6183, I wouldn't change a thing.
A quick look at this forum will show you that modem upgrade issues seem to be getting more and more common these days.
Your modem is rated up to 373mbps, so the only reason (IMHO) to upgrade would be for 400mbps or faster service or if/when Xfinity starts to require DOCSIS 3.1 or better hardware.
I know the grass is always greener on the other side [smile], but seriously, take a look around this forum before you start down that road.
