Modem-router for cable plans up to 150 Mbps
The TP-Link TC-W7960 combines a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem with an N300 wireless router. It is certified for major providers including Comcast XFINITY, Spectrum, Cox and others. The unit delivers up to 343 Mbps downstream and 143 Mbps upstream on the cable side, while Wi-Fi reaches 300 Mbps. Four Gigabit LAN ports and a USB 2.0 port handle wired and shared devices.
Replaces a rented gateway on 8x4 channel service
This device substitutes the cable-company gateway when your plan tops out around 150 Mbps and the network uses 8 downstream by 4 upstream bonding. The jump is worth it if you want to stop the monthly rental fee and keep a separate router you already own in bridge mode. It will not help if your provider requires DOCSIS 3.1 or more than 8x4 channels for your tier.
Check coax wiring and provider activation steps
Verify the outlet provides a clean signal and that the ISP will activate a customer-owned modem with MAC registration. Ensure you have a 12 V DC 1.5 A power source and space for the 8.2 x 5.9 x 2.9 inch chassis. The package includes an RJ-45 cable, power adapter and quick guide. No telephone or fibre ports are present.

Questions about this item
How much desk space does the 8.2 x 5.9 x 2.9 inch unit need?
The device measures 8.2 by 5.9 by 2.9 inches and weighs 1.7 pounds, so it fits on a small shelf or desk corner with room for the coax and power cables.
Which step do users often miss when activating the modem with their cable provider?
After connecting the coax cable and powering on, you must call your provider and give them the MAC address printed on the bottom label to provision the modem on their network.
When should the external 12V 1.5A power adapter be replaced?
Replace the adapter if the modem loses power intermittently, the LED indicators flicker, or the unit fails to boot while the outlet and coax connection are confirmed good.
