New 2Gbps service ONLY with Cox modem/router?
I presently have the Cox 1Gbps Internet service. Have generally been very satisfied with Cox service. Got a cable modem when first offered here (1998), and have upgraded to faster plans when offered....

For 2Gbps service you need the Cox Panoramic gateway(PW8) AKA the Technicolor CGM4981. See thread here for gateway confirmation. The current work around is bridge mode and use your own router. That only works if you don't have or want wireless cable boxes, homelife, or other features that require router function. The hotspot IS still enabled, and you need to login to disable it if another Wi-Fi device will be close to it.
