You don't need to take the router to Best Buy. Did you even bother to go to the speed test site I linked above? It takes all of a few seconds to do the test.

I looked up the specs on your router and the Cox guy is full of crap. The router you have is a dual band router. While it doesn't have the latest wireless tech which is 802.11ac, it does support 802.11n. Still plenty fast for most home users.

Until you do an actual speed test to find out what you're getting through the Cox circuit, you're seriously going to spend money needlessly buying a new router.
Just ran the test, first directly connected to modem and second with wifi about 15 feet away.
Directly connected Ping-14ms, download 59.5mbps, upload 2.43mbps.
With wifi ping-31ms, download-60.38mbps, upload-0.99mbps.
