btarunr · May 1, 2017

Ditch the monthly cable modem rental fees with the new ASUS CM-32, an all-in-one DOCSIS 3.0 compatible cable modem plus 802.11ac Wi-Fi router designed for today's gigabit cable speeds. With a best-in-class Wi-Fi design featuring MU-MIMO support, 4x4 antenna for extended range and 1734Mbps of bandwidth on the 5GHz band plus 796Mbps on the 2.4GHz band, the CM-32 is perfect for 4K streaming, online gaming, video conferencing, live broadcasting, and more

Powered by an Intel Puma processor with certification for Comcast XFINITY and Spectrum networks, the CM-32 ensures worry-free compatibility right out of the box. ASUS CM-32 is available now at Amazon and other leading resellers with a suggested MSRP of $249.99.

This thing has been long overdue and when it finally arrived it comes with a Intel Puma 6. :banghead:

As stated above, was the reason for me switching from the 6190 to the 8200.

They should really list how many down streams this can do... Both Comcast and Spectrum limit you too 4 up streams so that's not important but down streams are.

My current router can only do 8x4 and I need a 16x4....I would think listing that on a PR would be standard

First Atom in NASes, now Puma in routers/modems...
Guys please, stop going for numbers go for reliability/stability...

I also covered this on TPU, albeit a bit later. Definitely not the chipset you want to see.

Considering picking up an ARRIS 8200 right now, but not certain if my ISP even offers DOCSIS 3.1 just yet.

It's why it can handle such amazing speeds and numbers of connections.

I'm looking at the Asus CM-32 specs today (6/17/17) and see the chipset listed as: Intel 1.6GHz combined processor. Does this chipset use the Puma 6 chipset? Or has Asus resolved the Intel problem and replace the Puma 6, and the Intel 1.6GHz is different from the Puma, or are they just not telling us it's a Puma 6 and just giving us the speed and not the actual chipset name? Since this post was May 1, perhaps Asus has fixed this a month and 17 days later? Hopefully?
