Recommended DOCSIS 3.1 Modem?
While I know Cox has a list of certified DOCSIS 3.1 modems, is there one of these modems that stands out above the others? Or, perhaps, a 3.1 modem to steer clear of?
I'm considering upgrading my connection speed, and my Arris SB6183 modem won't handle anything above around 350 Gbps (if memory serves), so I know that, prior to upgrading my connection speed, I need to replace this Arris router with a reliable DOCSIS 3.1 modem.
Any recommendations?

It's the technology you should be considering and in this case, the technology is DOCSIS. One manufacturer's technology isn't any better than another because DOCSIS is a standard or protocol. Perhaps consider the latest version of this technology: 3.1.
I don't know if 1 manufacturer's hardware is any better than another because I'll assume all these boards, chips and connectors come from the same places.
As for the mixed reviews, I don't feel a lot of these reviewers know what they're talking about. If they can't figure something or research a problem, they'll call the something junk. Just because someone gave an opinion, it doesn't mean it's a credible opinion.
Stick with the "big" brands, future-proof with the latest version and you'll be okay.
