DO NOT get a router/modem combo. There are several posts on this sub that blame combo devices for slow speeds and some even say Cox will hinder your device settings and speeds if you have a router/modem combo. Can’t prove that though. Also, a buddy of mine used to be a tech for Cox, and he said that router/modem combos are more prone to having issues and are historically slower than having a good modem and a good router separate.

I pay for 150mbps speeds from Cox, and with this set up I’m consistently getting around 175mbps
Edit 2: it may just be me, but I don’t trust Cox, especially when it comes to hardware they provide. I’d rather go with something that I purchased myself, and that I have complete control over as far as settings, etc.
