Hi All,
We recently moved from IL to NC and left our old ISP modem behind
I have gone with TimeWarnerCable 100Mbps internet service at our new address in Charlotte, NC. I’m not really up on the latest technology for modems/routers.
Any recommendations on one that is recommended for use with Tablo? I didn’t see anything on the Tablo website.
I’m not sure what TWC uses for their 100 mbps service. I had said I would provide my own as I understand it is typically more cost effective than renting.
I would recommend the TP-Link Archer C7 or C8 routers. These are only routers of course, so you’ll also have to buy a separate modem that works with your ISP.
I would contact the ISP to find out which modems work with their service.
I signed up for 100Mbps service, but reading fine print on the attached says that isn’t even supported in that area yet.
Looks like a number of options I’ll have to sort through and figure out what I need/want. Arris, Linksys, Motorola, Netgear, TP-Link and Zoom all listed.

Just make sure you get an AC router. There are many makes and models as I am partial to ASUS RT AC Series, but that is just brand loyalty and my opinion. Where most people make the mistake is when they set up the router and not give devices static IP’s. Smart phones and iPads can and should be set up in the network settings of the device. As for Tablo, most of us like wired but the AC wireless router is these days do a great job as well. It is very important that the Tablo be set up static as well. Sb6141 docsis 3.0 modem Arris has served me well for 5 yrs. For the low price the Archer C7 or C8 are phenomenal routers
I would go with the cheapest standalone modem that will give you the service you can get, so if it’s only 30 Mbps, get that one. Modems are fairly reliable, and if it’s only for an Ethernet connection you should be good.
Then get a good router where you can take with you if you move again.
The idea is your router can be used with multiple different modems and likely will out live the modem. Check out the link below.
