Personal router with fiber Gigablast?
We're currently using a Cox-provided TechnicolorCGM4140COM. It performs well enough, but we'd like to have finer control over our network and I have a Netgear router that I canconfigure for the job. We've got a plain RJ45 link to the ONT, and near as I can tell the provided gateway isn't doing any special dance to connect, just DHCP. Is this as simple as removing the Panoramic from the equation andplugging in the Netgear?

Modem questions
OK, so other than game issues, I need to upgrade my modem. Does this matter in the least? I have been using my buddies SB6190 and dont really have any issues. I personally have the SB6141. I am paying for the Ultimate and why I have my buddies 6190. He is coming back from his 2 week reserve call and will want it back. Question I have: Does it really matter between the below models, choosing a different modem? I just dont want to spend more than necessary, keeping in mind that the speeds do not change again. I always want to keep the faster speed(s). I am debating between the CM600 & SB6190. What would be a better choice for the Ultimate Tier Internet. I have a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 router. CM600 - 24d x 8u channels - How good is this compared to the Motorola Surf Board models? Can it keep up? At what speeds given to my by COX would I need to get a faster or more channel modem? SB6183 - 16d x 4u channels - This still has the same number channels for the UL as the 6141. Is this even a viable competitor for or as a replacement. Will it hold up to a higher speed? At what speeds given to my by COX would I need to get a faster or more channel modem? SB6190 - 32d x 8u - Seems like it hasn't had to many issues, just hard to justify $150 if there are comparable modems that will do the same thing. I don't think I would need to worry until the 1GB service was released to everyone, but at that time I would need to switch to a DOCSIS 3.1 model.
