I've been searching for an extremely affordable coaxial gigabit modem without a router for roughly three hours. My Nighthawk X4S router supports gigabit speeds, but I'm upgrading my modem and can't find a budget-friendly option. I'm not looking for a brand-new or stylish model—just something cheap and functional. Anyone has suggestions?

Your internet speed comes from your ISP. An SB8200 works well with a gig plan, but for slower plans there are more affordable choices available.

I own 300 units but will switch to gigabit soon and stop paying $10 monthly for a modem rental.

I acquired a router for $80 from a Linky store. It has four antennas and supports speeds up to 4.4 Gbps. I’ll check it out later.

That’s the Wi-Fi performance, not the modem speed. You’ll need something high-end such as the CM1200 or SB8200. Also confirm they’re included in your ISP’s approved devices.

He requires a fiber connection, not a standard Ethernet port.

You're likely in a place where electrical or networking supplies are readily available, such as a local hardware store or electronics shop.

I don't understand the distinction between modern and routers well.

they might require fiber because it offers better performance, while a document modem is often needed for compatibility. Ethernet can also work over fiber.
