So since you guys are all here, I need some advice. I have a Motorola SBG900 that is the cable modem and wireless router in one unit. Sometimes when I have more than one pc running off it, and I hit more than 1mb/s down, it will shut down. It just stops transmitting a wireless signal, until I go unplug it. Resetting from the browser doesnt work for this. Should I just get the generic modem from TWC and buy a cheapo router?

100% agree with this statement.

Request something other than a shitbox RCA cable modem if you have a choice. Also, TWC will give you a free Netgear router in-lieu of the combo unit too, so that’s another option.
