the list of available wifi modems can only be purchased as a used item. Aren’t there any newer units that can be used? Even your buy now link shows a used modem.
Unfortunately, Lisa, no new modems are available due to those WiFi devices being older modems. You will likely not see any new devices for sale with WiFi. Blue Ridge really needs to offer more modern devices to use with their network.
You can purchase an ARRIS SB6183 and pair it with a stand-alone router, which will likely give you better performance anyway.
