Has anyone tried third party cable modems? E.g. CAX80

[monkeymagicshow]

Hello

I am looking at alternatives to the hub 5, as it sounds like receiving one before my contract ends is unlikely.

Does anyone have any experience with using a third party cable modem?

I am specifically looking at the netgear cax80, which offers gigabit internet, wifi 6, 2.5gb lan and port aggregation

Thanks in advance

Don't order the Netgear CAX80 it can only be used in the USA CATV market.

A 3rd party cable modem will not be activated by Virgin Media.

We can use any VM Hub in Modem mode and then attach a 3rd Party Router, this configuration is permitted.

By all means go down the 3rd Party router route, first read up on how to install, configure and support it.
