cm1000v2 how to mirror MAC address with existing ISP Modem
Have existing modem furnished by Spectrum and I want to run a new Netgear Modem CM1000v2 as well. Can I mimic the MAC address from the ISP modem with the new Netgear modem? Basically, can I run two cable modems on one account? Current wireless not giving me the speeds I need for my work. Paying for 400mps. Any tips greatly appreciated.
Not sure how big your home is or what speeds you're needing.
I'd just make sure to go the triband one's. The dual band are decent but the tribands have a dedicated wireless backhaul for faster speeds/lower latency. You can also hardwire the satellites in if you'd like. Helps performace as well.

No, you can't run 2 modems on 1 account.
But upgrading a router might help you get the speeds you need.
What router are you using?

Not sure how adding a 2nd modem would save $49 unless you were trying to piggyback on someone else's account.
