Armstrong Approved Modems

The selection for Armstrong approved modems is light. If you want to purchase your own modem, only a couple of devices get a recommendation.

Read the Cable Modem Buying Guide to help you choose a modem. Do not forget to purchase your modem accessories.

Internet providers have begun removing some DOCSIS 3.0 modems from their networks. To maximize the years of use from a modem, it is strongly recommended to purchase a DOCSIS 3.1 device (the latest standard).
