    Purchasing your own Modem and Router will end your CoxWiFi public hotspot.
    I actually have a Cox provided eMTA because I have Cox Home Phone. It is a Modem only, I use my own Router and the Cox eMTA I have, does not provide a CoxWiFi hotspot.
    My eMTA is an Arris TM3402A: https://www.cox.com/residential/support/arris-tm3402.html

    As long as you have some networking experience or are willing to learn, Purchasing your own Modem and Router is the way to go.
