RBKE963B - Help picking cable modem for Spectrum
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...
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!

Spectrum's approved modem list is here:

(Click on the 1G DOCSIS 3.1 heading.)
Picking a model with a 2.5G compatible port is probably a good "future proofing" idea.
