I'm looking to buy my own cable modem so I don't have to pay the rental fee to my ISP and also need a wireless router so I have Wifi for my cell and my son's Wii.
We don't do anything that requires a ton of bandwidth so i'm currently on my ISP's 2Mbps plan but I will be upgrading to their 15Mbps plan because the 2Mbps is just a bit too slow.
They ( WOW! - Bundle Deals on Digital Cable and High Speed Internet and Home Phone Services ) are compatible with any DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem or higher for their 2Mbps and 15Mbps plans. Their only plans that require a DOCSIS 3.0 modem is their 30Mbps and 50Mbps plans.
Seeing as how I don't need the latest and greatest or do anything that requires top of the line stuff, I figure a budget of about $100 should be ok.
My house is a 1 story, 1400 sq ft. 99% brick. On 1/2 acre. All I ask is for excellent signal strength throughout my entire home.
So what would you guys recommend? Any modem and router in-one set up you would recommend?
