Score: 78/100
Hitron CODA56
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Zyxel C3510XZ is a fiber-only Wi-Fi 6 gateway offering high wireless capacity and four Gigabit LAN ports. Its limitations include lack of DSL/cable support, no multi-gigabit Ethernet, and minimal USB capability. Best suited for CenturyLink or other fiber subscribers needing an all-in-one solution.
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.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviews are absent from the available sources; vendor and reseller descriptions emphasize the gateway's Wi-Fi 6 performance, integrated design, and suitability for high-device households, while noting that technician installation is required for activation.
User feedback is minimal, with listings showing few or no reviews; the limited comments focus on the product's specifications rather than experiential praise or complaints.
Everyday users appreciate the modem's ability to deliver the full speed of their multi-gigabit cable plans, especially for gaming and high-resolution streaming, but they are disappointed by the need to buy a separate Wi-Fi router and the restriction to cable-only service providers.
