I don't have experience with Cox, but combo devices are where everyone goes wrong.
Get a quality router, and then get a quality cable modem. I purchase the router when there's a good discount on a new one, and always buy used modems.
Don't bother getting a faster modem than you need, or you'll just pay more and it will consume more power. I had a DOCSIS 3.0 (Arris SB6141) that only consumes 5 watts, never needed rebooting, and is good for up to 1gbps. For my router, I bought the
Asus RTAX86U. I never reboot either.
These older but still excellent modems can be had for $10 (I mailed mine to someone on another forum)
Upgrade the components independently, as needed.
