Hi NMGLUG folks,

I'm looking to get a modem and router.

Since I'll use Cox as ISP, the equipment will need to be compatible with Cox.

Cox will provide a combined modem/router for $12/mo. I'm thinking it will be more cost-effective to get my own modem and router.

First, I could get a combo, but I think it's best to get them separately.

Cox told me that any DOCSIS 3.0 or better modem will be compatible, but I'm not sure.

Here's what I found so far:

https://www.cabletv.com/blog/best-modem-for-cox suggests

the MOTOROLA MB7420 modem $58 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H44UJF0/

and the TP-Link AC1200 router $40 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N1L5HX1/

https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/get-the-best-cable-modem-buy-or-rent-from-your-isp suggests

the Netgear CM500 modem $44 https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-CM500-1AZNAS-download-Certified-Cablevision/dp/B06XH46MWW

and pricier routers https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-wireless-routers

Ideas?

Thanks in advance,

LeRoy
