I purchased a New Orbi 6E kit and have it installed. I would like to replace the Spectrum CM with a new model that will match the Orbi system as Spectrum increases its speeds from 1 G to 2-5G to 10G. What CM would you buy and would you use link aggregation or a 2.5G modem? Thanks for your help! Mike

the fastest modem right now is the CM2000 which has a 2.5g port. I haven't seen any 5g or 10g ports on consumer modems (and the ISP's don't support that on docsis 3.1)

one port rather than port aggregation.

If you get telephone service from Spectrum, the modem must include that feature.

  Thanks! We d/c'd our home phones due to quack callers (40+ per day) and now use cell phones and RoboKiller (great software BTW), so only need the modem.
  
  Cheers!
