Frequently Asked Questions :
Does the CM2500 support link aggregation for higher speeds?
No, the CM2500 features a single native 2.5Gbps Ethernet port. This is more efficient than link aggregation as it provides a single high-speed lane without the configuration complexity or overhead of LACP.
Is this modem compatible with fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services?
No, the CM2500 is a cable modem designed specifically for coaxial-based internet services. It is not compatible with fiber, DSL, or satellite providers.
Can this device function as a wireless router for a small office?
No, this is a standalone bridge modem. It does not have built-in Wi-Fi or routing capabilities. It must be connected to a separate router or hardware firewall to share internet access across a local network.
