Score: 69/100
Hitron CODA56
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Hitron CODA56 is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem that delivers up to 2.5 Gbps downstream speeds and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, making it ideal for multi-gigabit cable plans. Its lack of integrated Wi-Fi and cable-only compatibility mean an extra router is required. Best suited for power users who already have a separate wireless solution and need the highest possible wired throughput.
The Netgear Nighthawk CM2050V is a DOCSIS 3.1 modem with integrated Xfinity Voice, supporting up to 2.5 Gbps and dual telephone ports. Its exclusivity to Xfinity Voice and single 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port limit broader use. Perfect for Xfinity Voice subscribers who need high-bandwidth and voice integration.
