Two modem categories listed below (WiFi and value) may help you decide which of the Grande approved modems to purchase. Grande does not provide an actual approved modem list. If you meet Grande’s minimum modem requirements (listed below), a modem should work on their network.
- DOCSIS 3.0 or DOCSIS 3.1 certified
- At least 8 Downstream Channels
- At least 4 Upstream Channels
- Customers with fiber-to-the-home service must use a Grande internet device
- If phone service is necessary, Grande requires use of their own eMTA (telephone adapter), which can also be provisioned for internet service
The modems listed on this page carry the minimum modem requirements for Grande internet service.
