User questions & answers

Question:	Will this unit work with our centurylink adsl service
Answer:	I think the main difference is that the C3000Z's wireless is 5G compatible.
Question:	How is this different/better than the C1100Z
Answer:	CenturyLink installed the C3000Z as the router to use for their gigabit fiber service - so yes, it does work with 1gb from CenturyLink. I wouldn't call it a modem, although they refer to it as such because that's what most people think is used to connect to the Internet but it is a decent enough router for most people's needs. We'll be upgrading to an ASUS router in the near future for more flexible configuration and better penetration in our home.
Question:	Can this modem handle 1gb from Century Link
Answer:	Yes, I have Centutylink with a bonded connection and run Netgear for my router
Question:	Does this support bridge mode so you can use your own router
Answer:	Just wanted to say that the set up was fairly easy, but NetGear was great to make sure we had all completed. Their customer service was very impressive. I recently upgraded to a higher speed via Windstream and it came with a new router/dsl unit and so far so good, BUT I will be reconfiguring and going back to the NETGEAR unit when I have time.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a modem and router or just modem
Answer:	Newer YES, improved in design & footprint YES. Both are wireless N but C1100z is better signal & speed consistency from what I have experienced. Both are wireless N, not sure why this was not released with Wireless AC but it is a noticeable difference regardless.
Question:	does it work with time warner
Answer:	Yes, but don't add it as a router, you only want one of those and it should be running DHCP. Whatever you add as your second one, have it set up as a wireless AP. I have a C1100Z one side of my home and an ASUS RT-AC66U set up as an AP at the other side.
Question:	Do u have to have a carrier
Answer:	Dedicated AC adapter.
Question:	Is this compatible with Century Link (ADSL
Answer:	Hi, This product does not work with COVR-3902-US to create a mesh network.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why is this labeled c2100t when in the picture it clearly says the unit is a c1100t
Answer:	When i bought mine the pictures where of the correct device. I am not sure why Amazon changed the product.
Question:	Does this work for bonded vdsl
Answer:	It does work for bonded vdsl2
Question:	Is this a router and a modem? Also, is there any lag when streaming through wifi
Answer:	This is a pretty decent modem/router. However I did notice some lag when I pushed it hard via Wifi. Specifically having 2 Apple TVs streaming, along with internet use, would cause issues. I do not see this lag when I use my R7000 router, and set up the modem in bridge mode. Overall, I would say this is the best modem/router combo I have used, but not as good as a high performance router - especially if you have a lot of Wifi devices. If your TV streaming devices are on ethernet, then this performs well, but Wifi is not as good as a high end router.
Question:	Can it work with centurylink Fiber
Answer:	Yes. I use it with Centurylink Fiber now.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this modem/router bonded? i am needing a cdsl bonded modem
Answer:	Even though this can technically handle 300+ Mbps it will be limited when using Time Warner to somewhere between 100 and 200 Mbps because it is only a 8/4 channel modem. Time Warner requires a 16/4 modem for their full Maxx speeds.

Question:	Did this modem only works wireless, or can i used it lan too
Answer:	Not sure if i understand the question. this is just a modem, its doesn't integrate wireless so you'll need seperate device for wireless. Unless your talking about packet loss over a long cat5 cable. it seems to work fine for running cables, but i'm not sure how you measure that.
Question:	vyxel PK50012 WIRELESS MODEM
