Can I plug this directly into the coaxial socket on the wall and therefore completely bypass my unstable Horizon box?
Or do I need to have the horizon plugged so that UPC knows me with the MACadress?

Answer

You need the "crappy" connect box to connect to the socket in the wall.
You can put the connect box into "modem mode" to make it stupid and let the Asus router do the routing afterwards. 
If you can't find the option in the menu to switch the mode, just call the hotline. They may have to deactivate IPv6. Makes no sense to me, but that's how UPC has programmed it.

Your data. Your choice.
