I purchased my own cable modem on Amazon for $60.00. Comcast has a list of compatible modems you can purchase. Then I purchased the Netgear Orbi router and one Orbi satellite. That solved all of the dead wifi spots in our home and also eliminated the cable modem rental fees. The Orbi is not cheap, bot it is very powerful. You might be able to find a less expensive router system than the Orbi, but it might be trial and error. Orbi is expandable also but the satellites are not cheap. Try Walmart or Amazon...they carry them. I'm sure that will solve your dead zones.   ... View more

That's correct...but I shouldn't be forced to have a DVR for each 4K tv you own...1 DVR will let you view on any tv in the home for a small monthly fee...I can accept that....I can't accept being forced into equipment that we really shouldn't have to pay for...they should provide us a non DVR box that can support 401k at a reasonable price, or we should be able to purchase one, just like a cable modem ...

Yes...those boxes will support 4K...What Comcast fails to disclose is that after you receive the box you will be billed an extra $19.95/mo. So before you upgrade your 5 beautiful OLED or QLED or 4K TVs be prepared to pay Comcast an additional $100/mo plus tax just for the privilege of allowing you to view the content. That's $1200/yr. This is because Comcast only makes a DVR box that will support 4K. Most people only need 1 DVR box and you can watch on any TV in the house. But Comcast MAKES you have a DVR for each TV to view 4K. Not only do we pay for content we don't need, we now pay for equipment we shouldn't need. Comcast response is, then don't buy a 4K TV.   ... View more
