If your (unspecified) "the Spectrum business modem" is actually a
modem+router, and its own wireless stuff is unsatisfactory, then you
should be able to configure a C6300 as a wireless access point. See,

Whether the performance would be satisfactory might best be
determined by experiment.
Hello, answers to your comments. Thanks for the link, I'll try to set it up as a wireless access point. Otherwise, I'll purchase a router.

- Spectrum Model E31T2V1; DOCSIS 3.1
Always dangerous.

Right. The (Technicolor?) E31T2V1 is a modem. You need a router to
use with it, and the C6300 can't be used that way because it has no

With no router, that would let you use at most one client device.

You'll need one.
