Need advice on docsis 3.0 cable modem with DMZ and configurable.

Thu Sep 13 11:43:34 MST 2018

thanks Stephen, the c7000 is listed at $199, i can get docsis 3.1 for less
than that.

I just want  my linux box which is my firewall in the dmz of my cable modem
for Cox cable.

I'm also finding out they block port 80, anyone know if I can get that
lifted?
