Hello everyone, I’m looking for suggestions on a superior router option that supports the coaxial connection. Do any of you have recommendations?

It includes a home phone and coaxial port, which aren't typical modem/router setups. You'll need to clarify what these are and see if they fit inside the enclosure. If they do, you can keep them in that box. For internet, consider purchasing a decent router under $50 from Amazon.

This gateway uses eMTA and will be tougher to swap out. The top options are ASUS or Netgear. My setup is the Sysnology RT2600AC, which performs well. Many also choose Ubiquity edge routers paired with APs.

1) this isn't a router
2) "better" refers to performance improvements
3) replacing the modem won't boost your internet speed

The router from Rogers connects directly to my gigabit firewall, then to my 24-port gigabit switch. From there, the signal travels through the Rogers router, followed by the firewall and finally to my home network. Privacy concerns arise because Rogers can view your devices before the firewall and access your internet router's details, including IP addresses and MAC addresses. They might not be able to see beyond the firewall (lol).

It's similar with many cable providers too. Comcast behaves the same. To avoid their strict control, opt for a regular cable modem.

My firewall works, but my gigabit link isn’t quite that fast—just like a slow snail on the internet.
