I looked at it and it's a combo modem router. At 111ish bucks you are in the bargain area. If your current modem works and you want a better WiFi or router, my choice is to add that. I'm using a TP-Link C9 for a reason here. It's dual core CPU seems to handle more stuff than the prior single core models.
You have a working modem. Missed why the change.

I have isolated a problem with a new Netgear N450 cable modem/router to the device itself. The problem is that when on the phone (Vonage - VOIP) I keep cutting out. It's fine on my end, but the other person tells me that I am cutting out.
I went back to the old cable modem/router and I don't have the problem any more. Should I conclude that this is a bad unit? Should I return it and get another N450 or a different one altogether?
Thanks
