Thank you.
As previously stated, I already use a mesh system. DECO W7200.
Would a stand-alone modem (CM2000 if ISP supports) with my current DECO W7200 be better or would a modem/router Combo (Netgear) with the same mesh system (DECO W7200) be best? Whhich would deliver the highest speeds?

The CM2000 series has 2.5Gb WAN port so there rated for ISP speeds up to this rate. CM1000/11/12 series are 1Gb WAN ports.
You can use your current mesh system behind the CM modem. Can't tell for sure if it has a 1Gb WAN port or 2.5Gb. Would work connected to the CM modem.
