You have a Skyworth router linked through coaxial cable, assuming it can be swapped with standard ones. It connects via a coaxial adapter if needed, and it's set up to use an antenna like a TV. It isn't directly connected to the server. You're considering switching brands, though—potential security concerns might arise.

It's tough to confirm if swapping it for your own router works since many ISPs restrict certain devices. You should check with your provider about private modems and what you're looking for.

Usually you need to connect via modem provided by your ISP. For improved Wi-Fi performance, add another router functioning as a slave or access point.

Yes, you can find routers that support Coax or DOCSIS 3.1/3.0 connections.

You're asking for clarification on the situation. Did you receive the correct unit from your ISP? Could you share your ISP details? Have you reached out to them regarding suitable replacement options?

This device struggles with just two DHCP clients, possibly due to age or lack of QoS support.

It also prevents us from adjusting the Wi-Fi extender.

The equipment you see appears to be a cable internet gateway that combines modem, router, and access point functions. If this device is supplied by your ISP and connects directly to the WAN uplink, you should reach out to your ISP to determine if it can be swapped out and which models they recommend as replacements.
