Comcast service just gave me this TC8305C to replace a cable modem that failed, and the service tech told me that I could also use this unit as my router and wireless router. I like the idea of one less box in my home network but I have some issues and concerns:
Is the TC 8305C 2.4 GHz only? The Netgear supports both 2.4 and 5.0 bands.
Does the TC8305C support a separate guest network?
Will the firewall with high security allow me to use Internet clients like telnet and ftp, either from a DOS command line box (in Windows) or through a browser like FireFox?
What is the max data rate?
Does the firmware have to updated manually, or is that done automatically?
Thanks.
Phil
