AFN Approved Cable Modems
AFN tests all modems proposed for use on it's network so that we may provide the highest level of support. We require a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem to connect to AFN. We recommend the following cable modems:
- SMC D3CM1604, D3CM1604V, or D3G1604W (all support 16 channel bonding)
- Motorola SB6xxx or SBG6xxx. The SB6183 and SB6190 support 16 channel bonding
- Arris CM820
At this time we do not support DOCSIS 3.1 cable modems.
