Best cable modem for XR1000

I would like to know if a CM2000 would be a good match for my XR1000. Or if I should choose a different model. My ISP is Spectrum Los Angeles. Thank you.

    NGs CM1000 would be best since the XR1000 doesn't support a 2.5Gb WAN port or support LAG, which the CM200 support a 2.5Gb WAN port. A CM1100 would be good however this modem support LAG. So the CM1000 would be best fit. First contact your ISP to ensure what modems are supported by your ISP.

      Thank you for the reply. Do you think it would make a difference in gaming compared to the cable modem provided by my ISP? Are there any special features that would help the routing or increase the transfer?

        Getting a stand alone modem with out any built in router or wifi would be recommended.

      My ISP lists CM1000v2 as authorized for the up to 1G tier. How could I get just the v2, I mean is the version listed in the description?
