CAX80 Compatibility and Spectrum Cable
Tried to install a CAX80 Modem/Router to replace my Spectrum supplied Modem and Router as I want to build a mesh network with EAX80s (I have two of them) so my wife and I can get internet anywhere in...
I'm not surprised. Its a challenge to find any accurate information from spectrum on what their "approved modems" are for symmetrical speed.
and the CAX80 goes into a boot loop without a connection.
If you're wanting something with similar specs (but no modem), the RAX80 is pretty cheap renewed on amazon (if you don't mind renewed).
I'd be cautious running 2x EAX80's if they're in mesh mode. they have great coverage but I usually only recommend using 1 of them. If you're needing more than 1, its usually better to switch over to a full mesh system like Orbi so that there is something controlling the "mesh" for better stability.
