Want to upgrade home network
Upgrades to my network that I was thinking about getting but didn't know if they would help: AX2700 WiFi Cable Modem Router (CAX30S) Nighthawk® DOCSIS® 3.1 2.7Gbps Two-in-One Cable Modem + WiFi 6 ...

The CM2000 is a solid modem.
Keep in mind it has a 2.5gig port.
The MK83 doesn't have a 2.5gig port so that'll be its limiting factor.
If you're only planning on going up to gig speed, the cm1000 is a solid choice.

My current internet is 500mbps now but may upgrade in the near future. I was also looking at this NETGEAR Nighthawk Multi-Gig Cable Modem CM2000 - Compatible with All Cable Providers incl. Xfinity, Spectrum, Cox | for Cable Plans Up to 2.5Gbps | DOCSIS 3.1
to replace my current modem for future growth.
I just want to make sure whatever I go to supports the current list of devices. The google mesh i have now I don't think is doing the job. The other issue was nighthawk vs the orbi as my router is in the basement but I need strong connections in the upstairs.
