But if you either have a faster package now or you want something more future-proof, the SB8200 is DOCSIS 3.1 and goes all the way out to 10 gigabits/sec.

Both of the above are cable modems only. If your current unit also serves as a wireless router, or you have Xfinity voice service, you’d need additional or different hardware.

Check other places besides Best Buy. Office Depot and Amazon are often cheaper.

Thanks for info for the cable modems. My unit also serves as a wireless router. I used to have their voice service, but no longer.
