Spectrum (the internet provider where my mom lives) told me today that my modem was no longer supported [1]. It's an Arris SB6141, which is DOCSIS 3.0.

They say they will let me have a modem to use for free, but I'm a bit worried that it really a gateway, and I don't want them to have their backdoors in the router. So... I went to look at DOCSIS 3.1 modems, and they are pricier ($150 to $200!) than I expected ($60). Clearly I haven't bought a modem in many many years.

So... should I take the free modem (which might be a gateway) or should I buy a modem? Any tips/arguments either way would be appreciated.

I have the Arris ONT (Optical Network Terminal) required by AT&T. It has a WiFi router built in. I put it in pass through mode and connected a Synology router downstream for WiFi and Ethernet. This should mitigate possible backdoors in the Arris box. The only problem I had doing this was AT&T gives almost no documentation about the device, so I had to find it on the Arris Website using the part number.

If the house is in AT&T Fiber's service area, look at Iglou. They've just reintroduced residential fiber service on AT&T's lines, with 300mbps service for $20 less than Spectrum's rate and gigabit service for the same rate as Spectrum's 300mbps, with free installation and hardware. (And actual local support.) I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I'm fully intending on it. If you need to stay with Spectrum, I'd buy a modem. I'm seeing horror stories lately about Spectrum's non-standard pricing deals evaporating after a couple of months and people having to spend long stretches on the phone with them to get them back.

[1] The account just came out of hibernation and they've jacked up the speeds. I've tried for the better part of 3 hours to get things to work, but the best speed I can get is ... 0.07 Mbps for downloads on those few times I can even get the speedtest to load. Yow.
