I PURCHASED A SET OF SURFBOARD W31 ROUTERS A FEW YEARS AGO.
PERFORMANCE IS GREAT
I FELT IT WAS TIME TO UPGRADE SO THROUGH AMAZON I ORDERED W133 ROUTERS
THE ACTUAL UNITS THAT CAME IN THE BOX SAY W31 ON THE UNITS.
IS THAT A MISTAKE IN BOXING?
Solved
INCORRECT PRODUCT IN THE W133 BOX

Hello
The mAX W161 is the upgrade model for W133 Mesh system. The mAX W161 includes 2.5 Gb WAN Ethernet Port for multi-gig Internet speed and Wi-Fi 6e for 6 GHz band support. You would need to replace your W31s with the W161 system. The W161 cannot be added to the existing SURFboard Mesh network.

Hi blackhart762,
The W31 is a single router and W133 is a dual router . Also W133 is not the upgraded version of W31 , the actual unit that you had purchased is W31 (Dual Routers) which is also known as W133 .
Please check the link of W133 : https://www.surfboard.com/products/max-mesh-wi-fi-systems/w133/.
Let us know if this helps .

So there is no reason to upgrade to a newer system since my system is the same?
Is there an upgrade to what I have?
