C7000 as Wifi router
Hi, I would like to know if it's possible to use the C7000 3.0 as a Wifi router only since I got the new Spectrum modem 3.1 and how to do it? Thank you

what speeds do you pay for?
Might not need anything as it should still hit 600-800mbps on spectrum. the C7000 has a pretty solid modem and it might just be spectrum pushing you to upgrade.

I only have the "Internet 100" (Speeds at 100 Mbps Free internet modem and no data caps).

If all you have is 100-200mbps, the C7000 would handle it no problem. Upgrading modems isn't going to make the speed any faster since the bottleneck in speed isn't the modem.
But if you want to spend the extra money to upgrade, feel free. But you won't see much improvements in speed since that router can max out 100mbps no problem.
