![]() In testing, the MG8725 performed very similarly to the CAX80, reaching the 800 Mbps of my internet plan from 5 feet.Īdditionally, it got 529.86 Mbps from 25 feet and 289.32 Mbps from 50 feet. Nevertheless, once your ISP supports it (likely around 2023), it will reduce your latency to something that rivals fiber optic internet. Still, as your ISP needs to support it, it’s nothing to hype yourself up too much about. ![]() This is a new technology meant to lower the latency in cable internet. It’s very similar to the CAX80 but also sports a feature called Low Latency DOCSIS. The Motorola MG8725 is for you gamers out there. Comcast Xfinity, Spectrum, Suddenlink, Cox, Astound Broadband (Grande, RCN, Wave).The CAX80 might also be excessive for you with a slower internet plan, as a device can only give you the internet speed you pay for.Īltogether, the Netgear CAX80 is a fast, future-proof device perfect for you looking for something powerful that isn’t concerned about features. This makes it hard to restrict kids’ activities on the network and prioritize bandwidth. The largest drawback with the CAX80 is that it lacks both Parental Controls and QoS. This is enough for any but the largest homes. Moreover, the CAX80 also has a good range, reaching around 90-100 feet. These are insanely good results, enough for 7+ people to use the internet with plenty of smart devices. So that’s why I recommend it for speeds up to that. All operating on the 5GHz network.įurther research revealed that people have clocked in over 1200 Mbps with the router. And additional tests counted 583.15 Mbps from 25 feet and 298.47 Mbps from 50 feet. I say “at least” because I only had access to an 800 Mbps internet plan during testing, so I have no way of knowing exactly how fast the router is.īut from 5 feet, it did reach 800+ Mbps. The Netgear CAX80 is for you that want a fast device.Įquipped with Wi-Fi 6, the newest Wi-Fi standard, and DOCSIS 3.1, the cable modem will work for internet plans up to at least 1200 Mbps. Comcast Xfinity, Spectrum, Cox, Sparklight, WOW, Suddenlink, Mediacom, Breezeline (Atlantic Broadband), Astound Broadband (Grande, RCN, Wave), (Sometimes Optimum).Which allows you to restrict your kid’s activities on the internet and prioritize applications on your network I found them very hard to use.Īltogether, the Motorola MG8702 is a high-value option, providing you a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem and a fast router, all for a reasonable price. Moreover, the MG8702 also has very underwhelming features.Įven though it has things like Parental Controls and QoS. Because even though the cable modem can handle it, the router is too slow to take advantage of such speeds. ![]() I will, however, say that you should avoid this device if you have a plan faster than 500 Mbps. Enough for a slightly larger home if you place the device in the center. ![]() Fast enough for a family of around 5 people to use the internet simultaneously without any issues.įurthermore, the range of the MG8702 is also decent, reaching upwards of 80 feet. Very impressive results considering it’s a Wi-Fi 5 router. ![]() It reached 518.51 Mbps from 5 feet and 272.03 Mbps from 25 feet during testing using the 5GHz band. The Motorola MG8702 is a fast DOCSIS 3.1 modem/router for you with an internet plan of 500 Mbps and less Comcast Xfinity, Spectrum, Cox, WOW, Suddenlink, Astound Broadband (Grande, RCN, Wave). ![]()
