You would need to confirm, but this may suit your needs

While it probably would, Spectrum CAN get fussy when non-approved devices connect to them. First when you install it you'll need to call them to 'approve' the MAC address and make it useable. I've heard stories from others that they refused to do that as the device was NOT on the list of approved devices, others where the phone agent did it without question, and still others that it was connected at first and some time later disconnected from the network and they couldn't get it authorized again.
That is also a $400 modem from Amazon. Even if Spectrum charged $10/mo. for wireless that would take 40 months to recover the cost. Not a wise investment in my book...

So not UK Cardiff then lol
OK, so this is the ISP.
What is the physical connection that plugs into the router/modem?
what do you mean?
I have cable modem and a nighthawk router.
I'm just looking for a combo, but I dont know the difference between a combo and a me having a modem and a router?
I'm a netgear person.
Is the connection a coxal one that comes into the modem?
Ethernet cable. What I'm trying to do is Upgrade my wifi. 100 mbps is cool but I'm trying to get the highest!!! Hint Hint!!! Plus I wish I could get infinty because of what they offer
Am I right in that you want to get rid of the modem and replace everything with just a standard single unit, that has a good WiFi speed?
Daddysmell, not sure who you were replying to. To make is clear, when replying, type the 'at sign, @' and you'll see a list of people in the thread and then select the one you are replying to if the reply is specific to one person in the thread.
A 'combo' is just that. A single using. Spectrum where I live, Central Florida ONLY uses Arris modems, a standalone, a standalone with phone eMTA (TM1602AP2), a combo modem/router, and a combo modem/router/eMTA (TGM16x2A). There ARE Netgear solutions as well.
In my area, ONLY the CM600 is on the Approved like, and is for speeds up to 400Mbps, it is MODEM ONLY, and DOCSIS 3.0. There are NO Modem/Router combo's not DOCSIS 3.1 devices on the list.
I suggest you call your local office or Spectrum Support and ask them what you can connect in terms of combo modem/routers.
