Free Modem Upgrade
I’m due for a free modem upgrade in February. I currently have the Arris TG1682 on the 250/10 plan, and everything works great, with average speeds around 280/14. Is there any reason to take advantag...

Assumptioning if OP has 6 GHz NIC.
Even if they don't it is good to future proof. Also, even if they don't have the 4981 in stock, they should have the Technicolor CGM4331 which is still a big upgrade from the TG1682.
I understand what you mean with latest, greatest and future-proofing but if OP is currently getting excess up and down...leave it alone.
If I were OP, I'd quit while being ahead.
You have a good point, but if I was renting a gateway I would want the latest and greatest for my money. Then again, I wouldn't touch a gateway with a 10 foot pole so perhaps I should be quiet.
Exactly! It's not like this thing is a steadfast iPhone or GMC truck.
That 4331 WiFi is nowhere near as strong as the Arris 1682. Trust me, I KNOW!
When you say "strong" do you mean range or speed?
Range, and with it speed. The 5ghz on the 1682 is a much better signal than the 4331. I would NEVER use the 4331. If I was handed the option of paying for the 1682 or getting the 4331 for free, I would pay and use the 1682.
