Can I use a Netgear router with a modem from a different brand?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can use a Netgear router with a modem from a different brand. Netgear routers are typically compatible with most modems from different brands as they follow industry standards for networking technology. However, it is essential to ensure that both the router and modem support the same type of internet connection, such as cable or DSL. You may need to check the compatibility list on Netgear's website or consult their customer support for specific router and modem compatibility. It is also recommended to update both devices' firmware to the latest version for optimal performance.
