C7000 Cable Modem Router > GS108Ev3 Managed Switch
New Mac Mini System Design. Am considering using C7000, connected directly to Spectrum satellite coax cable then, via ethernet port 1, connect to a GS108Ev3 switch. Will use addiitonal C7000 ethern...
That should work.
The only thing I'd consider would be if you plan on upgrading to gigabit at any point.
The C7000 is rated to up to 400mbps on spectrum. The only device rated to gigabit is the CAX80 (not released yet)
I will say that I'm not a huge fan of modem/router combo devices. Reason why is the ISP controls the firmware and upgrades to the firmware. Which they rarely do.
Plus if either the modem or router side goes bad, you're out the whole device.

Gracious thanks for your reply.
Am taking seriously your point regarding failure of a cable modem versus separate components. Again, thanks!
