I don’t want to keep renting a modem from Comcast for the rest of my life, so I would like to buy one.

I’m wondering which cable modems will work best with Comcast service.

I would also like to have an 802.11 n wireless connection, and I want to know if there is a good modem with a wireless router, or if I should get a separate modem and router.

Thanks for the help!

ok, so i’m trying to change my IP address, and i figured out that, since i have comcast, i need to change my mac address. i have a cisco router, and i know that usually you have to change the last 2 digits, save the settings, and then restart your router and modem. however, i have a digit and a letter as my last 2 digits. what do i do?

What kind of modem is needed for xbox live?
what if it already has 2 ports can i get online and play xbox live at the same time or do i hae to unplug my computer ?

I have Bell Sympatico, my dad works for Bell Mobility so we get our DSL for dirt cheap. It’s a 3 or 4 MB connection, and during the morning and afternoon, and usually the evening it’s very fast and nice.

But virtually every single night around 9 p.m and onwards, it turns into complete garbage until after midnight. DSL isn’t affected by traffic like cable is, so it’s not a problem of too many people nearby using the internet at the same time. Also, it not only becomes dial-up speed, but disconnects frequently. I can’t even play games during this period because every 5-10 minutes I get a connection interrupted message and booted.

We contacted the company a few times and it’s useless, they refuse to believe that the problem is on their end, and it just gets answered at a call centre where the douchebags read solutions off of a list.

I’m just wondering, is there any chance that this is on our end? I am 99% that it isn’t, as my last computer was affected, as is my dad’s work laptop.
BUT, if I do join games during this time, my ping is what it’d be normally.

But browsing the net and such there is noticeable lag, not to mention the disconnects.
In response to Greg, this is happening every single night. We restart the modem and router once a week usually. It isn’t those. And if it were, it wouldn’t happen the same time every day and then go away, only to come back at the same time later.
Human Warrior: Trust me, I’m not that much of a noob haha. I can tell the difference between downloading and a faulty internet connection. Azureus is closed and hasn’t been running since I booted last.
My average download speed off of speed test is 4.3mb/s, right where it should be.

Hi I have a linksys router that I’ve setup. I hooked 1 ethernet cable into the modem to the router and another to the router to the pc. It gives the pc internet but my ps3 can’t obtain ip adress. Please help. Any questions reply below.

So my wireless router has a modem built into it, or is it the other way around: modem with built in router. Lol, I’m not sure…

But anyway, because I am having such difficulties with the ps3 online, I have been told by many people to try bypassing the router straight to the modem.

Is this possible with my situation??
Thanks in advance.

Im looking for a program that makes a pc working like a telephone via modem like "Advanced Call Center" software that I already found. (NOT voip software)

But Im looking for a software like that but to be able to call people automatically from a list of numbers and to plays a recorded message for them to hear and then the next number from the list.

Please help me out.

Does anyone know of a program that you can put on a computer with a modem that will turn it in to a call queuing server where we can use it at our small business? Something where, if several customers call in at once, it will put them in a queue where it will tell them "Your call will be answered in X minutes"? You know, they have them for call centers all the time. I was looking online and it seems like there’s a lot of expensive "services" out there, but I’m wondering if anyone knows of an inexpensive way to do-it-yourself?

I have comcast internet with a modem how do i connect a router to get internet on my psp?

Why I must go through modem to connect to the internet?
Can I connect to internet just by network card?

If modem is like a converter, then what about network card? Does the network card need to convert digital signal to analog before send the data down to the cable? When the other end of the cable is connect to the modem, what happen there? Again another signal convertion by modem?

For instance, say I had a Small Office Home Office (SOHO) and I have my modem connected to a switch that connects to two different routers. One router for my home network and one router for my office network. I want to prevent the workers in the office from accessing the home network.

Say there are 3 computers connected to the home network and 4 computers connected to the business network.

What would the addressing scheme look like?
