Cox Internet

I'm moving to an area where Cox is really my only option for internet. They offer the Panoramic Wifi and the router/modem is included but I can't seem to find much about the specs when comparing to my current router. I am getting the 300 plan. For those who have Cox, should I:
1. Use my exisiting Netgear AC1750 LINK
2. Use Cox's Panoramic Wifi router (no charge) LINK

If it doesn't cost extra, use both..I hate using the AIO modem/routers, but if you wanted to use each one in a different area, you essentially mesh your network

Just make sure you have Docsis 3

I didn't like the 3.0 panoramic wifi router.. it was a pain to get it into bridge mode and then later adjust the settings. I always had to reset it to change settings.
I really like their new 3.1 panoramic one that is for Gigablast.
I am still trying to decide if I should keep the 3.1 rental or use my own modem and router.
To rent theirs it's $10 for me. How did you get it for no charge?
On the new Panoramic it is super simple to turn their modem into bridge mode (making it a modem only) and hooking up your own router. The one you linked gave me some trouble. I believe the reason you want to turn the dual modem/router combo into bridge is so that if you use your own router they don't compete against each other's wifi.. causing a bad signal? I'm no expert though.
By the way, I highly recommend getting a Linksys switch with multiple ethernet ports if you end up selling your router. It's so helpful! I got an 8 port ethernet switch for like under 20 bucks and it is well worth it.

Don't know if anyone is interested, but I just switched to Eatel from Cox due to their data cap. I've got a 3 month old Netgear CM1000 DOCSIS 3.1 gigabit capable modem that I'm going to put in storage or sell on Ebay unless someone wants to make an offer. I even got a 4 year Squaretrade warranty on it and it appears that I can transfer it.

I just bought that modem for cheap, but I could still return it.
How much would you consider? I don't have an offer to make, but let me know around your lowest amount you'd consider for it. I would definitely appreciate it. You could e-mail me at cajunomics@gmail.com to discuss. Thanks again.
