Why would I spend the money on this newer model Motorola Surfboard Gateway over the SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0 model? Reading the specs, it seems similar.

There are a number of big differences in the models. The SBG6782-AC supports the 802.11ac Wi-Fi specifications as well as 802.11b/g/n. The SBG6782-AC is also a dual-concurrent Wi-Fi access point where the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wireless Radios are both enabled at the same time. The SBG6580 is a dual-radio / non-concurrent Wi-Fi AP. The SBG6782-AC also has a faster processor and is built on the next generation Cable Modem Chipset.

The reason they use the term old version, is that they came out with the updated version of the 818 in 2013; the 828. The 828 has a few new features that the 818 doesn't have, but they also cut a few of the features that the 818 has that they didn't include with the 828, Go to the onkyo website to compare the specs, but for me I couldn't justify the price disparity when it came between both units, so I went with the 818, and I haven't been dissapointed! For $699 I don't think I could find a better receiver. I looked at Marantz, Denon, and Harman Kardon to compare, and for the price I thought the Onkyo was a better constructed, sturdier product at a lesser price.

Both models are available as retail and non-retail items (e.g. end-users and companies). As far as DL/UL performance..SB6141: 343 / 132 Mbps Down / UpSB6180: 343 / 132 Mbps Down / UpThe are some internal hardware differences between the two, which would only matter if you're an engineer (or an ISP with specific requirements for your network).Both devices are widely supported and offer the same performance to the end-customer.TLDR: Buy whichever model is supported by your ISP.

Any DOCSIS 3 modem should work. I have Motorola Surfboard Extreme and it works great.

I am sorry I thought this is the model I bought :-( I have no idea about this one. I bought linksys 54K one.

Eh, when I purchased a WPN824 from Amazon in April 09, I got a v2 instead of a v3. Didn't realize it at the time, but that means no QoS and no repeating. Very frustrated now, too late to return it, don't make the same mistake!

It will work just fine but it is getting past the tier 1 tech support the real issue. Any DOCSIS 3.0 modem will work but they go by the book and say it won't. You can request to be sent to a higher tech support or just tell them it is a "SB6141" model. All they really need to do is register the "MAC address" on the bottom of the modem and you are done. I already already installed over 9x SB6180 modems.

I found it to be exactly the same. The only difference being the gigabit WAN support. Old one would top out at ~70 and this one easily handles our 100/20

upon the time I look I did not find a wdnr4000 anymore only it's lower end 3700 brother. Looking at the obvious difference is the network speed which means example wdnr4300 has more speed technically means steadier output less interruption for your use. However it has a downside cloud reason you want a better router not only for it's speed, signal strength, or disk space but you want it's security. Anything cloud poses that threat to you. Im not security expert I only research and build computers. If you want a true tech engineer look at overclockers.com or tomshardware.com be advised sometimes things they say unless you really are into it you may find it more work ahead just to understand what's given. Construction wise according to my numerous findings and researches CISCO and Netgear sadly are not so different now. CISCO used to be top of the game and dead given choice given the money allows. Dont get me wrong I still believe at a company scale you can still ask them to custom make a router just for your company. Commercial grade material at huge cost so consumers outta question. Hope this guides your decision PS if you are still looking for wdnr4300 looks from my side Amazon has drop the price further to 92.99. Be sure to research the inventory and get your cheapest price as your right.

Where did you get this information? Don't spread false rumors please. On the netgear forums you can actually see people post pics of both pcbs with identical components. Nothing was changed except the outer box. THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME. 3700 v2 has not come out yet. Pretty much all you want is to look for the rev21 boards as those are the best ones out there. For the 3700 usually a red box means its rev21 the yellow boxe means you need to check the upc to make sure. 37av is the same as a red box rev21.The major rev you need to stay away from is rev15, its reported with the most major problems.http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=52714&page;=1 Where did you get this information?

Hi, I don't know if it's the same one but if the pictures don't match then I would think its different On another not, I would *not* recommend buying the 7520. It continually drops off the network or crashes in some other way. I am not happy with it. Best regards, Rick

I am using Motorola SURFboard SBG900. I can use the laptop in public spaces as well. Hope this help.

The 500GB version is most definitely compatible with the 8300HD, or at least was. I have been using one for well over two years, but just in the past couple of weeks it pops up a "disconnect" message at random. I just hit the cancel / exit button and it keeps playing just fine save for the error message popping up every 15-20 minutes or so. I suspect Comcast has pushed some sort of firmware update to the cable box which is causing this problem because the drive itself seems to be spinning just fine with no strange grinding or clicking noises and the data seems to be intact. I am planning on buying the 1TB version so I'm reading through these reviews to see a success story.

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

I just opened the box and saw that it's a V1. I fully expected that the V1 stock had run out from Netgear by now and they would be refurbishing V2's only. But this DealFisher must still have some old V1's to move out. So it is luck of the draw. I'm debating about keeping since that price is so low compared to new V2. And eventually, I'll upgrade one of these to a Nighthawk R6 or something that really has lot more power. It's only the farthest corner of my house that could use the Beamforming benefit. Also, I have no need of the USB 3.0 since I don't attach a hard drive or printer to these routers. I just opened the box and saw that it's a V1.

For my Comcast connection I use the Motorola SURFboard SB6121 and it's excellent. Many Comcast customers use and recommend this (for modem only)You can use from the same Family the SURFboard with the wireless-N connection, the SBG6580. It combines the modem and a router.Or the easiest I think is get the modem and then a separate router as your choice, as soon as you have connection you just connect the router and it automatically uses your internet connection wirelessly.
