Best replacement for timewarner / spectrum gigabit

What is the best cable modem for replacing the ISP modem for spectrum / timewarner cable gigabit internet?

I'm also looking into replacing the wifi router - looking with something that can support a lot of devices and has excellent range. 

 

Any ideas?

buy a seperate modem and router. 

 

Modem such as CM600 or CM700 (dont buy CM1000 for spectrum as it is currently not supported).

 

Router such as R7800 or RBK50 Mesh router.

Thanks for the reply. I"m surprised I couldn't use the CM1000 with spectrum since the modem that spectrum gives for gigabit customers is a Technicolor TC4400 and seems to have comparible features.

Features at a glance are:

  •  DOCSIS® 3.1 compliant

  •  Backward compatible with (Euro)DOCSIS® 3.0

  •  2 x 2 OFDM(A) bonded channels in DOCSIS 3.1 mode

  •  32 x 8 bonded channels in DOCSIS 3.0 mode

  •  Switchable diplexer for upstream and downstream frequency up to 204 MHz split

  • 1.2 GHz full band capture tuner

  • Built in RF spectrum analyzer

  • 2 GE LAN ports

  • IPv4, IPv6 DS-Lite

  • Designed to meet the latest ECO standards

spectrum did not certify CM1000 yet. they say they are not ready for D3.1 yet. 

 

so, we would prefer customers not to buy them and get dissapointed if it does not work or spectrum wont support it.
