Motorola MG7700 Installation

I am considering installing the Motorola MG7700 (modem/router combo).  Do I have to contact Cox Technical support to enable/activate the device on the Cox network?

Also, which is a better configuration - a dual unit or separate units?

    This DOCSIS modem is compatible with Cox.

    Activation should be "plug-and-play" (self activation).  You just need to order the service.

    Will you order landline service?

    Dual or separate.  Combos are convenient...just not a Panoramic combo.  The only limitation I can think of is a combo will be tethered by the coaxial cable.  If you can get good WiFi coverage wherever you're placing the unit, get the combo.

    If you have any issue with activation email your account information and a screenshot of the modems serial 3 and mac address to cox.help@cox.com.

      Are "flagged" serials and addresses connecting to your network a trend?
