My friend is going to upgrade his system, and he's asking me for advice to do so. I have enough knowledge on router side, but for cable modem, there is nothing I can tell him.
Can someone give me some shade light on this field for me?
His plan is 60 Mbps (Comcast I believe), and I'm going to turn his cable modem into bridge mode. His current cable modem is https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Motorola_SURFboard_SBG6580
As of now, there is some "preface" questions, but if there is something else I should know, please tell me.
1) What specs/function should I look for?
2) Do I even need docsis 3.1?
3) Because it will work as bridge device only? Does it need to be powerful?
4) Can a cable modem in anyway comparable to decent to hi-end router? (I believe it can't by any means)
