I didn't opt for spectrums router. I just got the modem. I put in my own router so I can configure the 2.4 and 5 ghz separately with their own security code and configured vpn. I get great connections and have zero streaming issues. But since our homes have wired connectivity why can't we take advantage of it. Simply for security reasons. (Although I know these days security seems to be no longer an option haha)
