G3100

It's called the CHR30. We just started rolling it out in select areas. Looks like you're in one of them. It functions as a router and extender which is why we call it a WiFi access point, and yes it's WiFi 7 capable! No more CR1000/CE1000 / G3100/E3200 multi-SKU solutions for Whole Home WiFi anymore

The e3200 extenders hardly ever go bad. It should last over a decade as long as there's no crazy power surges that might fry it like any other electronic. Any e3200 that you buy will just be plug and play, and mailing back your current one to Verizon should be relatively easy. One thing to consider

It's not SON, it's my own router with son off, and I would never use son on a Verizon router. It's on WiFi but it's a widespread issue. The cr1000a will cap out at 100 upload for me, even on gig, no matter the settings, while my own router does 200 something upload which is better, but still not cor

I just installed the four new units last night and I’m really liking this system. I’m coming from a G3100 and two E3200 extenders, so the extra extender and the 6GHz band really transformed my network. The WiFi covers my entire 3600 sq. ft house and everything just feels snappier. There’s a few bugs

Welp, as a long-time Tivo STB via Verizon Fios user, I recently got the cable card EOL E-mail. Rather than wait until the bitter end when the CC support is actually withdrawn, as many other users have vowed to do, I took a different tack and decided to employ the new Verizon boxes in parallel with t

The e3200 is the only plug and play option for the g3100, since they are designed to work together. Verizon is the only router "manufacturer" I know of that integrates moca into their routers and extenders. If you do anything "piecemeal" to use with the g3100, you may have issues with roaming betwee

As for the Ethernet, I have tried that, and you are right, it is capped at 100 Mbps. As for the Wi-Fi, our router (a basic Verizon G3100) sits in the same room as the Android TV. But, I have noticed that as our neighbors have upgraded their Wi-Fi, there has been more channel overlap and general inte

I am also your age. I have essentially the same setup, with the exception of the live-in adult daughter. I have a Verizon G3100 router and, like the CR1000, it has less than optimal wi-fi coverage and speed. I have therefore also disabled the wi-fi on the G3100 and use it just as a router. The Ether

IMO the newer Verizon model (cr1000) doesn't offer that much improvement over the g3100 in real world scenarios, even though it does technically have better hardware. Verizon will be coming out with a new router within the year though. If you're an internet only customer you can also consider buying

DFS channels may be clearer. However, they run at less power. Some older devices cannot “see” them. I disable them. Verizon’s G3100 and CR1000A/B routers do a pretty good job handling WiFi with SON enabled.
