The TP-Link Archer CR700 takes the place of your cable company's rental modem, so you can eliminate that monthly charge.
My cable provider is also my internet service provider. That works fine, but I don't like paying them monthly rent for an older modem that might not do the job. That's where an all-in-one cable modem and router like the TP-Link Archer CR700 makes a huge difference.
Attach the coaxial cable coming out of your wall to the threaded port on the back of this modem, and you'll be enjoying strong, fast Wi-Fi® in no time.
Many combo modem/routers offer only one or two LAN ports for making wired connections. I need wired connections for my Sonos PLAY:5, Philips Hue Bridge, and Playstation 4 at the same time, so I need more. The CR700 offers four fast Ethernet ports, which provides plenty of Gigabit Ethernet to run the devices that make your home run smoothly.
There are also two USB 2.0 ports for connecting to and sharing information from external hard drives and wireless printers.
This router keeps you safe with tough WPA/WPA2 encryption that denies outsiders access to your wireless signal. And a robust parental control app lets you filter out undesirable websites, set up a surfing schedule for young ones, or deny internet access when necessary.
TP-Link Archer CR700 Owner's manual
Average Customer Review(s):
Product could not connect to everything. It acted as if it could not read my password. After several attempts to do a manual reset, it failed to go back to "admin". Called Crutchfield tech advisor....the decision was made to return the product and go with another brand.

Pros:
Cons:
Cable Modem Router: TP-Link's Archer CR700 combines a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem and dual band wireless router into one connection device, reducing the hassle of network configuration and saves space. Utilizing the latest DOCSIS 3.0 modem protocol and 802.11ac wireless technology ensures both cable download speeds of up to 680Mbps and gigabit WiFi speeds. The result is lag-free online gaming and seamless music and HD video streaming experience.
US Cable Internet Service Provider Compatibility: The TP-Link Archer CR700 is compatible with most major US cable internet service providers - like Comcast Xfinity; Spectrum (including Charter, Time Warner, & Bright House Networks); Cox Communications; Suddenlink Communications; Mediacom Cable; and WOW. The cable modem router supports the assignment of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by cable Internet providers. Your cable internet service provider's coax cable will plug into the modem router's coax connector on the back panel.
Notes: Not compatible with Cable bundled voice services.
DOCSIS 3.0 Certified: The TP-Link Archer CR700 cable modem router is designed to meet DOCSIS 3.0 specifications and backward compatible with DOCSIS 2.0 networks. DOCSIS 3.0 channel bonding technology supports up to 680Mbps download speeds, which is 16x faster than DOCSIS 2.0 for ultra-fast Internet performance.
Built-in WiFi: TP-Link's Archer CR700 is equipped with built-in dual band (2.4GHz + 5GHz) WiFi and is compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac. It features six internal antennas that create a strong WiFi network throughout the home-upstairs, downstairs, and even outside. High powered amplifiers boost its wireless signal, a speedy processor handles bandwidth-intensive tasks, and its large amount of memory helps minimize lag and data buffering losses. The modem router is also equipped with beamforming technology, which increases its range by allowing it to focus independent signals towards devices rather than simply broadcasting in all directions.
Gigabit Ethernet Ports: With four gigabit LAN Ethernet ports, speeds can be up to 10x faster than standard Ethernet connections. The Archer CR700 is a powerful hub to support a robust and extremely fast wired network.
Dual Multifunctional USB Ports: With the two multi-functional USB (type-A) 2.0 ports, you can share printers, files and media with different devices through your local network or via the ftp server while away from home. By default, all the network clients can access all folders on your USB device. You can customize your sharing settings by setting a sharing account, sharing specific contents and setting a new sharing address on the router's web management page.
Flexible Access Control: The modem router provides flexible access control, so that parents or network administrators can establish restricted access policies for children and guests. It also supports Virtual Server and DMZ host for Port Triggering, and then the network administrators can manage and monitor the network in real time with the remote management function.
Dynamic DNS Service Account: Most ISPs assign a dynamic IP address to the router and you can use this IP address to access your router remotely. However, the IP address can change from time to time and you don't know when it changes. In this case, you might apply the DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server) feature on the modem router to allow you and your friends to access your router and local servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) using a domain name without checking and remembering the IP address.
Security Encryption: With multiple protection measures, including SSID broadcast control and wireless LAN 64/128 WEP encryption, WiFi protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK), as well as advanced Firewall protections, the Archer CR700 AC1750 Wireless Dual Band DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Router provides complete data privacy. You can even use WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) technology to automatically and securely add wireless devices to your network.
Web-Based Setup: With a web-based management too, it is easy to setup, configure ,and manage the Archer CR700 cable modem router. The Web-based management tool can be used on any Windows, Macintosh or UNIX OS with a Web browser - such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Apple Safari.
System Requirements:
IPv4 & iPv6 Supported: The Archer CR700 supports both IPv4 and IPv6. iPv6 is the next generation of Internet protocol, helping you to future-proof your network.

This is a combination modem/router. It saves space. It is very easy to install and highly reviewed by users. The price (on sale) is the best I could find. This modem/router will pay for itself if you rent your equipment from a cable company. [ Carlo Oct 24, 2017 ]
