the modem router, provides you with an easy and secure way to set up a WiFi home network
with fast access to the Internet over a cable network with support for up to 680 Mbps. It lets
you block unsafe Internet content and applications and protects the devices that you connect
to your home or guest network.
The modem router provides one coaxial cable connector, two 10/100/1000 LAN Gigabit
Ethernet ports, and one USB 2.0 port. In addition, the modem router supports WiFi
connection speeds up to
1300 Mbps in the 5 GHz band for 802.11ac devices. Both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands can be
active simultaneously.
For information about setting up your new modem router, see the AC1600 WiFi Cable
Modem Router Model C6250 Quick Start Guide that comes in the package. This chapter
provides supplemental information that might help you with the setup.
For optimal performance, keep the modem router vertical in the stand and do not detach the
stand. Do not mount the modem router to a wall; it is not suitable for wall mounting. For more
