1 edit | I haven't heard any feedback on the wireless quality of the Hitron, but based on previous Rogers gateways, it'll probably suck. I'm assuming you have a router already? If so, you'll want to put the Hitron into bridge mode and use your existing router. Here's the manual, go to page 42.

Only use WEP if you want every Tom, Dick and Harry jacking your WiFi (along with a $600 monthly overage charge...happened down South) Use WPA2-PSK if it's available on your new Rogers "cough" Gateway......  |

Don't enable WPS.
For security use WPA2 not WPA or WEP, don't select auto. |

thx for your help guys what other settings should i use |

You want to use AES, not TKIP. Not sure about the other settings as I don't have that model. If you posted a screenshot someone might be able to give a better answer.

Nepean, ON | The HITRON in gateway mode [the default], wireless performance is superior to the SMCD3GN or the CISCO DPC3825.

| I don't really understand your answer? OK wireless is superior how about connection issues or speeds issues with the net? I'm using the SMCD3GN I have no problems as I only use wireless N laptops but my speeds are all over the place with Extreme Plus and I tried Ultimate and got no better downloads then Extreme Plus but got the 2Mbps upload so I called support and they said the Hitron would be much better as it has 8 channels for download and 4 for upload compared to 4 and 4 with the SMC which I paid for as I hate renting so opinions please!
TIA,
TH

1 edit | Best advice: stick with what you currently own. this is an identical issue as compared to computer hardware upgrades. Why pay another couple hundred bucks for a minimal 10% or 20% theoretical performance increase.
Until Rogers perfects/finishes/finetunes any Docsis 3 system upgrades purchasing new hardware is a gamble at best.
Until such time as performance data is published for the various modems/gateways these benchmarks are pure speculation.
There's no way to tell if the problem is with your Gateway or with the Rogers network itself.
My opinion only...... |

TIA, TH Your speeds may be all over the place because the wireless on the SMC sucks. Try using the ethernet connections only and see how you fare.
Also if you want a modem that supports 8x4 channel bonding just get the Cisco gateway. It costs the same as the SMC, but the wireless is equally garbage so you'll want to use your own router or stick to wired connections only. |

When I say all over the place I mean Min 32Mbps to 67Mbps most of the time it's in the high 40's and low 50's, the wireless connection is always 99% until I start walking away from my house! But thanks all for your replies!

The HITRON and the CISCO as DOCSIS 3.0 Cale modems are superior to the SMC.
YOUR Internet speed are all over the map because the network node you are on is overcrowded so when lots of people on you node are active your speeds will jump all over th place.
The HITRON WIRELESS capabilities are superior to the SMC and the CISCO.

Page 96 of the user Manuel provide the instructions you're looking for to set the channel width for N. |

No disrespect to you mozerd as I do see you're trying to help people. I feel almost sad to inform you that the SMC modem you spend a lot of time putting down is in fact made by HITRON.
The only physical difference between the CGN2 and the D3GN is the internal tuner which supports 8 downstream channels. Everything else including the actual firmware compile base is the same and direct from HITRON. This will also explain why users who received the D3GN's 3.1.4.x push are having the same issues as the CGN2 3.1.4.x at the moment. |
