Windows 10: 2010 : ) Wireless Cable Gateway CG3000D DOCSIS 3.0 Question w/ Cox

I am currently using a combo modem/ router DOCSIS 3.0 2016 Netgear AC1900 WiFi Modem-Dual Band (C6300BD) supplied by Cox included (no monthly rental charge) in a cable/ internet package. This summer I will be dissolving that contract and will have to give that combo modem back. I also have that I own a DOCSIS 3.0 2010 Wireless Cable Gateway CG3000D cable modem. Minimum requirement to use Cox Internet is DOCSIS 3.0. I do not stream into the next room or for the moment do not use say Netfix though that could be in my future. I do occasionally use the current DOCSIS 3.0 2016 Netgear AC1900 WiFi Modem-Dual Band (C6300BD) to connect my phone with WiFI.

My question is how necessary is it to use a modem now a days that is both a cable modem and a router. Can I get by just with using the DOCSIS 3.0 2010 Wireless Cable Gateway CG3000D cable modem or is that a bad idea.

If it's a bad idea I won't rent from Cox when I make the switch this summer but would buy my own.

If anyone has anything good or bad to say about the Cox approved modems that would be appreciated partiulalry regarding bang for the buck and I certainly do not need the latest and greates. TIA.

A question about cable coax wiring and DOCSIS 3.1 modems. Is it possible for a building's wiring to prevent a DOCSIS 3.1 modem from connecting with an ISP, even with no problems with signal strength?

 

Intel Previews 1 Gbps DOCSIS 3.0 Gateway Capability at The Cable Show

Intel Corporation today previewed its first DOCSIS 3.0 cable gateway solution that is capable of 1 gigabit per second (Gbps). The Intel Puma 6 technology solution will help enable service providers to meet consumer demand and offer new services while extending their extensive network investments. A test program by South Korea’s SKbroadband is targeting production deployment of 1 Gbps in 2013.

As the number of Internet-connected devices in the home grows, service providers are challenged to provide higher broadband speeds to more customers utilizing an existing cable network. A service provider’s ability to scale up to this high level of bandwidth will help enable new high-bandwidth experiences for what the industry calls “TV Everywhere,” an immersive blend of Internet, television, gaming and applications across multiple screens throughout the home.

With the advanced technology of the DOCSIS 3.0 specification, multiple system operators (MSOs) can offer more users faster access to bandwidth-intensive experiences such as streaming video or online gaming using their existing network infrastructure and DOCSIS 3.0 equipment. Due to the flexibility of this technology, the Intel Puma 6 achieves the 1Gbps downstream speeds by bonding up to 24 DOCSIS channels (up from eight bonded channels in a typical deployment today). Intel Puma 6 has an upload speed that is double current-generation DOCSIS modems. With up to 240Mps upstream (eight bonded channels), more consumers will benefit from new services that include video conferencing, cloud storage and easy sharing.

“We continue to lead in DOCSIS technology, and are now providing cable gateway solutions with 1Gbps capability,” said Alan Crouch, general manager of Intel’s Service Provider Division. “Service providers can now deliver on consumer demands for higher broadband speeds, supporting a proliferation of new devices, services and experiences.”

The Intel Puma family system architecture provides OEMs with flexibility to easily customize their products to fit a wide range of MSO-required and optional features such as high data rates, wireless communications, power down modes and telephone support. Intel was the first to deploy DOCSIS 3.0 technology with Intel Puma 5, and over 20 million DOCSIS 3.0 systems have shipped.

“SKbroadband is proud to lead the world in piloting a 1 gigabit Internet experience,” said Dae Chul Noh, team leader of SKbroadband’s Network Division. “Our customers use these lightning-fast Internet speeds for high-definition TV, multi-player gaming, video conferencing and more.”
