From all the reviews, it seemed like a good purchase.
As for the wireless computer and not being A/B/G, i'm not sure what that means. The wireless card in my dell is an Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 + Bluetooth 4.0, if that helps.

I've never had good luck with the modem/wireless router combos. I have a DOCSIS 3.0 and a separate wireless router. I'm assuming your modem/router has physical Ethernet ports, you might try plugging your computer directly in and running your tests just to see if it's the wireless portion causing the issue.

If you're using the one from Cox, it's probably in Mbps to match what they advertise. Even though it's cable, your speeds will depend on how far you are from their trunk, and the number of people you share that connection with. The problems with that aren't as bad as they are with DSL, but it can still suffer if you share with a lot of people.
