Is Rogers's new Ignite Modem better than white Coda modem? - RedFlagDeals.com Forums (2024)

Currently i have old CODA white model as 1 GB package for $52 pm and 1 year coming to an end in a month or 2.
Received a promotion from them $64 for Ignite Internet 1 GB + 'SmartStream' for an year.
If I don't switch, most likely they increase my charges on my existing plan so thinking if I should accept that new promotion.
Any idea if so-called Ignite Internet will be better than this coda white one or no difference at all.

thanks in advance

I switched from the Coda to the new Ignite and WiFi was certainly better on the new modem.

In bridge mode, I did not notice any different between the 2.

Thanks for your feedback.
I am anyways using Eero Pro Mesh for WIFI so i presume i will get better wifi capabilities from this Ignite Modem.

I switched recently and noticed that the built in WiFi was far superior to the older one. I too use an Eero system though so once it went into bridge mode there was no difference.

switch from CODA to XB7 and asked to have 2 free pods (I think each $5 /month)

wifi is much better and XB7 support wifi 6

bridged and noticed zero differences.

It is way brighter LEDs with the white one. Annoying.

Using the XB7 for modem and router (due to cheapness and laziness) on a 25Mbps connection, zero issues.

The fan is very quiet, can't hear it but I can feel some air flow if I put my hand on the top of the modem (that or there is some convection happening from hot air rising and cool air pulled from below). I have noticed if I max out my connection or under heavy load I can hear some faint coil whine (really faint, you need to be right next to it) and the unit will heat up, not an issue for me as mine is in the basem*nt.

Yes, there is one bright white LED recessed along the top facing upward. It actually makes enough ambient light to work as a low nightlight.

I would have liked some more status/activity indicators on the front instead of one light staying on to say "Everything is working", just because I am used to every other router/modem having some LED indicators of what is happening. Instead, you get one LED that glows orange/flashing green/solid white to let you knw what's going on with sync/status.

I ended up with new Ignite/White of course with strong Mesh system. So far so good.

sucks...rogers won't give me the new ignite white modem because i still have legacy cable even though i have ignite internet. Mesh system better than router in your experience?

i was in same situation before. Had old/coda modem & then asked them to replace by Ignite one and somehow honored it.
I think coda modem is also not bad.
Mesh & Routers are 2 different leagues and you go for Mesh for broader coverage, more devices. I went with Eero Pro 6 Mesh & absolutely happy with it.
