I'm using a Motorola MB7220 8x4 modem, coupled with a Medialink AC1200 wireless router (available on Amazon). The setup for both was pretty easy, and they've been working well so far. However, the speed of my service is less than 100 Mbps. For your speed, I think you will need at least a 16x4 modem, such as the Motorola MB7420.

The new equipment will pay for itself even sooner since Comcast/Xfinity just raised their modem rental rates again!
