Only the Cable Modem types such as the CBK40 have cable coax/modem built in. I don't think Netgear makes a cable modem version of the AC3000.
You can rent a cable modem/router and configure it for Router Mode (not worth the $ IMO) or buy one that will pay for itself in a year or so depending on model.
Most routers in the market only have an ethernet input thus requiring a cable modem if you have cable internet service. The ethernet port is a universal modem output whether the service is Fiber, DSL or Cable.
