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...
Ok can you speak to me like a kid.
What you just said to me went way way over my had.
If you try to sale me a car I just purchased it. LOL :smileyembarrassed:

Only had it for a month so far. No problems... and I'm using SMART CONNECT for the 5Ghz band and that seems to work well.
We have 2 PC's basically on most of the time, one wired, one wireless AC device (866Mbps connect speed to modem). 2 iPad Pro's, Printer, an Echo, Smart TV (hardly uses the Internet but it can), Smart DVD player (can use the Internet but rarely does), FireTV stick, and when the grandkids are over, many iPhones, game boxes, and laptops connect. I am NOT using the Guest network for them, probably should...
I did have an R7000 before it started to get flakey, so to me this is basically an R7000 with 2 5Ghz bands... (and some other features and improvements).
You mentioned the R9000... I looked at that unit too, $170 more by the way. Faster CPU and has 6 network cable ports (I don't use more than 2 now), 2 USB 3.0 ports (vs. 1 each USB 2.0 and 3.0). AD wireless capable (not really many available today and for now, AC works fine for us), but the 10Gbps NAS port might have gotten me to get it IF I was going to go the NAS route soon.
Hey, it is ONLY money, right!
got it!
Thank you for letting me know all of this information!
I'm still upset because I have these 2 big pieces of equipment sitting on my computer desk.
Have a great evening!
You can hide the Arris tm1602 it will wall mount I have my wall mounted in a corner, you will need to make your own pattern for the screw holes for the two mountig channels on the bottom of the modem my had two but three slots in the manual for the modem online.
I have the same Arris modem, a R6260 router, an Arlo camera system and all seem to work together just fine. I also live in Florida and have my phone with Spectrum so I have to keep their modem.
