CAX30 [AX2700] Cable Modem/Router w/ Nighthawk AX6200 Wi-Fi 6 Router [RAX78]?
I've been having Wi-Fi connection issues with my CAX30 Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream WiFi 6 Cable Modem/Router. Based on my experience, it's still better that the Spectrum provided box [at least the Modem side. My wired connections are solid]. I'm thinking about disabling the Wi-Fi on my CAX30 [using strictly as a modem] and ADDING a Nighthawk AX6200 Wi-Fi 6 Router [RAX78] to my setup for [what I hope is] better Wi-Fi performance.
Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this type of setup? Thanks in advance!

Could be done.
Can either set the CAX30 to modem mode:

Or leave the CAX in router mode and set the RAX to AP mode:

I don't have the cax30 but have used the cax80 and it was pretty solid.
A little better description of what actual issue your having might help as maybe we can help fix whats going on with it versus just adding another router.
