He could have tested and verified the modem working, told you to buy a router, and left charging you 75$ for as tech visit for a non Cox issue? I don't think it's 50$ a month, it's 14 or 15$ a month to rent a Cox WiFi modem, sounds like he was trying to save you some money, a decent router costs between 150 - 400$, at 150, that's 10 months of Cox WiFi modem rental.
If the tech suspected the OP's personal router...without even testing it, mind you, so it was a guess...why didn't the tech give the OP a choice: either buy a new router or rent one from Cox?
Since the tech had replaced everything, the OP wouldn't have known what had fixed the problem. It could have been the modem, router or just a network reset to have fixed it.
You do know there is nothing wrong with the OP's router, right? At 10 months, the OP could have actually kept the $150. With your thinking, however, at 20 months, the OP would have spent $300+ and still not own a personal router.
At 24 months he barely would have paid for the router I went with. (RAX120) It sounded from original post, that OP router had failed. Tech was WRONG in taking customer equipment though, and it should be returned to the OP.
...barely would have paid to not only own, but to own a much better router.
It appears the tech took a combo DOCSIS-eMTA, so it was Cox equipment for tech to take.
