JOE1305 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hi guys, can somebody tell me how i can find out what chipset my router has? I have the Home Gateaway ZHXN H268N and the R1 connected to it. :). Because people talked a lot about the puma 6 chipsets in routers that they are bad.

RiotControll Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 You have a Broadcom chipset. The Intel Puma 6 is a cable modem chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is 1 for example. I wouldn't touch anything that has a puma 6 chipset in it! https://www.classactionlawyers.com/puma6 https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/11/intel_puma_6_arris/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, puma 6 chipsets are in Cable modems only to the best of my knowledge and as you are on a broadcom chipset you have nothing to worry about, especially if your are on a dsl line.
