    Sir, I'm actually a technician for Comcast. (posted this because I thought it was interesting, in no way am I representing or promoting buying anything or supporting this company in any way, Comcast was just the first major ISP to announce something relating to 6Ghz wifi.) anyways, while it is true Gig Pro is a very small percentage of the footprint, they actually do have the capability to increase download speed and upload speed over a HFC system. In fact, in a neighborhood where I live (Jacksonville, Florida) they are doing a trial of 1.2 down/ 1.2 up speeds by increasing the number of upload carriers in the frequency spectrum. It is a challenging task, because it means upgrading most of the current system, but upgrading systems at the street level has been ongoing for some time. Again while I do not support 99% of the customer service and business decisions in general, the technology fascinates me and I thought I should share. Docsis is not dead and will not be dead for the foreseeable future. Also, that modem is 100% a Docsis modem. it even has a coaxial port. Metro E uses fiber inputs.

    it looks like its aimed at enthusiasts, content creators, and businesses. I'm perfectly fine with my 600 down speed for the price. Ultimately I think its planning for the future as devices and applications become more and more data hungry. People said 10 mbps was too high not too long ago and now you can't even watch a reliable youtube video on that speed.

    There are 4 WAN ports on the back. The previous model has 3 1gbps ports and 1 2.5 gbps port. There is a chance 1 of the ports on the new model is a 10 gig port considering the 3gbps advertised speed.

    I'll post a full spec sheet when they come available but Comcast released this for CES so not much info is available as of yet.

    There is. There are 4 on the back along with power, coax port, and WPS button. If they are the same as the previous model, there are 3 1gbps port and 1 2.5 gbps port. But there is a possibility there is a 10gig port considering the throughput of 3gbps but that information is not yet available.

    Summary Comcast released details regarding their new model of WiFi 6e Modem/Routers debuting sometime in 2022. With features like 6ghz WiFi and support for Home automation software such as Zigbee and Matter built in it looks like a very strong leap forward in the world of residential internet and home automation from the biggest ISP in the US. This modem/router combo is designed for their Gigabit Pro plan with speeds of up to 3gbps upload and download. Quotes My thoughts with the FCC’s newly ruled allowance of 6ghz WiFi for consumer use, this will allow for more bandwidth and less clutter on the 5ghz band. 6ghz does not advertise higher speeds than 5ghz but it will allow for more devices to be connected to the network at once. The majority of their national footprint has access to their 1.2gbps down plan and in more urban areas are able to utilize this super high speed Gigabit Pro plan over a hybrid fiber coax network. Meaning in a lot of areas, people can use the 3gbps up/down speed over a coax cable.

    So here’s the deal. I run a Roller Skating rink in Florida and our lighting system is ancient. It’s from the 80s when everything was weird. The board itself is ALL switched with 0 computer hardware of any kind not even a PCB. The lights are fluorescent based and can chase, dim, and go to the beat of the music. The functionality is limited and replacing it is mandatory. I am trying to find an LED replacement and can’t seem to find anything that would suit the needs. I am actually considering buying a bunch of LED strips and a bunch of arduinos and making them myself but I would need way too many power supplies and arduinos for the amount of lighting I need. I am looking for a professional system nothing too exciting just to have a chase feature a color changing feature and dimming features but I can’t seem to find any. Thanks, Timmy

    Hey there! I have a Lenovo Y560 Laptop with a 34mm ExpressCard Slot on it. I was wondering if there was a way to either make it thunderbol compatable with an adapter or have a GPU adapter card for the slot. Thanks! Gauntlet
