Gigablast Modem/Router Options
Gigablast is available at my address in San Diego, CA and I'd like to purchase this Cox service if I could only learn what kind of modem and router equipment is supported. I'd prefer to buy my own equipment instead of renting and I'd prefer a setup where the modem and router are separate. Does anyone know if using your own modem and/or router is a possibility for Cox Gigablast or does Cox require you to use some specific, combined modem/router rental? Does Gigablast work with a DOCSIS modem even though it's supposed to be a fiber connection? I wish I could learn these things from Cox but I haven't been able to. Cox's online information on Gigablast is next to zero as far as I can tell, and I've spoken to four different Cox reps and no one can supply an answer. I'm hoping the Cox community can help instead!

Panoramic WiFi + Switch
I just upgraded to gigablast as my upload speeds were not fast enough for work from home. I decided to rent a modem from cox so that I can downgrade when I am able to go back to the office. When I got the modem/router home (Technicolor CGM4140COM) I noticed it only had 2 ethernet ports. I like to hardwire where available so I went out and bought an unmanaged switch (tp-link tl-SG1008D). It works fine so far. My question is should I use the other ethernet port on the technicolor for my computer which I do a lot of video streaming or use the switch, which has QoS? QoS is new to me (as are switches). Is there an advantage to using the switch for all of my wired connections? Thanks!
