I'll bite. What, exactly, is your "a new modem"? Maker? Model
number? Is it actually a "modem", or is it a modem+router ("gateway")?
Any useful information might help.
> [...] I am having trouble connecting the router to the new modem.
"trouble"? Cables don't fit, or some other kind of problem?
"not working" is not a useful problem description. It does not say
what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.

That's not quite the bottom of the line, but I would not be amazed if
whatever Spectrum gave you (about which I know nothing) were generally
better than an R6260.
But many things might depend on what your (unspecified) "a new modem"
actually is.
