Can I use my own modem and router with RCN internet?
Yes, customers have the option to use their own modem and router with RCN Internet services. However, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. First, it is crucial that the modem is compatible with RCN's network specifications. RCN typically recommends using DOCSIS 3.0 or DOCSIS 3.1 modems for optimal performance, especially for high-speed plans. It is also wise to consult the list of compatible modems available on the RCN website.
When using your own equipment, you may need to follow specific instructions for activation and setup. This process can vary depending on the type of modem and router you choose. Additionally, using personal equipment means that any technical issues related to the modem or router will not be supported by RCN's customer service. Customers should also ensure that their devices are equipped with the latest firmware for the best performance and security.
For further information, including any guidelines or recommendations specific to devices, you may refer to the current RCN website.
