Learn me some Cable Modems and Wireless Routers....
I am switching to Comcast Xfinity interwebs, I have signed up for their 50mbps DL service, so what will work the best and give me the fastest internets?
Get their Cable Modem/Wireless Router in one unit for $7 a month? But I've read the wireless range on their combo unit is pretty sub par.
Is it better to get a Cable Modem and a seperate Wireless Router? This looks to be $10-20 cheaper but then I have to deal with finding a place for both to sit, not that big of a deal, but I dont want an eyesore of wires/electronics in my living room.
Get a combo unit? Looks like these are about $130-150 on amazon for the new stuff.
Docsis 2.0 vs 3.0? WTF IS THIS?
I also have my old wireless router from college, the trusty and stylish Linksys WRT54G, in all of its Blue and Black glory. can this handle the speed the 50mbps DL speed?
