Thanks for your reply.

What DOCSIS 3.1 modem would you recommend? I could use my existing Edge router and get a set of mesh pods for wifi. But what about voip? Would I need a separate EMTA box?

@nedman470, if you have telephone service through Cox, we will provide you an eMTA at no cost. You could purchase a third-party wireless router and connect it to the eMTA that Cox provides, or simply purchase a separate third-party modem and still use the eMTA (both can be connected to one outlet using a splitter). Here is a list of Cox-certified modems:
