I’m considering purchasing the ARRIS SBG8300 modem/router, because I need to buy one with DOCSIS 3.1, and need to know if I can use a DECO Mesh Wi-Fi system with it?  I also need one with as many ethernet connections as possible, and this model has 4. 

I currently am using the ARRIS SVG2482AC, which has 4 ethernet outputs and it is DOCSIS 3.0, and my ISP say that I need to upgrade to 3.1.

Thank you

So far, it sounds like a recipe for disaster. 

  1. you’d be putting a router after a modem/router combo device. It causes a double nat
  2. Why not just get a modem only device and connect the deco to it? then for the extra ports, you connect a cheap unmanaged gigabit switch to the deco
  3. who’s your isp? I’d be looking at the mid split approved devices for the increased upload they offer
