There is only one wireless router & cable modem that I remember, and all i remember is it was a POS.

Get a motorola cable modem and a dlink or linksys wireless and you’re golden.

I suggest getting a stand-alone cable modem and a seperate wireless router.

Too many network devices in one box = catasrophic failure soon with minimal ability to troubleshoot 🙂

Plus, it gives you the ability to get rid of one router for another, or return a broken cable modem if needed.

Na the Motorola one is the SBG900.

Just get a router. Hell a Trendnet router is only like 20 bucks these days.

Another good reason is because (afaik) TW doesn’t charge you for a modem lease and say a power outage or anything fries the modem, or you just want a different model you can always just turn it in for a new one for free, as opposed to having to purchase a new modem.
