Just wanted to chime in here, the Linksys CM3008 modem is a nice little modem and the Nighthawk X6 R8000 a fantastic wireless router. With that said, I would not recommend running your cameras (more then 1-2) though a modem or a wireless router, a switch would be the preferred device (3 or more) IMHO. I personally wont use wireless/router anymore in any systems I design for home use (unless your in an apartment or small single level condo). We are getting way more wireless devices in our homes that the cable/ISPs ever thought possible at this point and time. If you have wireless cameras, its only going to be more demanding on your system, so please consider the equipment you choose wisely.
These are Just example schemes you could configure with this equipment combo.
Modem->Router->Switch (POE)->Cameras
.................................|->Access Point(a) (AP) (Wireless Cameras) or (All wireless)

Ubiquiti Networks - Wireless networking products for broadband and enterprise The
UniFi AC Lite APs (300 Mbps) work way better than my ASUS RT-AC3200 IMHO. I can game off of it and its like being wired. If you have a ultra-high speed connection, you will want to match an appropriate AP (
UAP‑AC‑HD can handle 800 Mbps).
I am currently learning how to set-up a
Ubiquiti EdgeRouter and am really impressed, but it does come with a steep learning curve. However they are good quality devices that have great throughput, security and VPN technology built in.
