    The MB8611 isn't a real motorola modem. Zoom telephonics bought the right to use the motorola name, and in 2020 Zoom and Minim merged.  So, that being said, what you really have is a Zoom modem, which is actually a sub par device..

    Now then, Cox has a max speed of 2gbps in many areas, you would need to check Cox's web site for your area, or contact Cox and find out if it's available in your area.

    . I use the Netgear CM2000 paired with the Netgear RAXE300 router.
