You're right. The C7000 is a coaxial modem.
It won't work connected via usb.
- u7mg0785Jan 08, 2022AspirantThank you for the information I appreciate it unfortunately there was no description on the product website stating it had to be coaxial is there a model but I can buy that would have a ethernet port to connect to

if you're truly connected over ethernet and not via usb, then the R or RAX series are router only devices that should connect.
