Once it is up try to go any url in you browser. Instead, I got the exact one you recommended and it should pay for itself in just over a year. I bought the recommended modem and router from Amazon last Friday and installed them Tuesday. If so, do I still need a modem and a router?Near the top, are you sure you didn’t mean to write: “Comcast recently upgraded their network to DOCSIS 3.1”? Just replacing the ARRIS with Actiontec won’t be enough right ? But through my wireless I only get 9.85Mbps so I now know the wireless router is my bottleneck. I have moved several times over the years and always promptly return the equipment 2-3 days after disconnecting the service. Thank you for your help.I use an Ooma (which everyone who is paying for monthly VOIP subscriptions should buy). ?I’m in the same boat: Comcast Triple Play with their $10/month modem. I also took a pic of all #’s off equipment.It isn’t clear to me if there is a modem / router I can buy with phone port. Miller said to do and was totally blown off by Comcast. My question is, is there an option for replacing those little bitty $3 boxes without spending a lot per box?Aren’t you forgetting the telephone /VOIP/. Sparklight Business I have a Cisco linksys which was $30 bucks and I use the extender and it works well now. I do have up a Cisco Linksys EA2700 router 3months old.I have basic internet access with Comcast Xfinity. Sparklight What I am hoping for, is likely impossible. I have unlimited voice for my phone (Landline) and xfinity mobile service. This supports the 7 or 8 computers we have in addition to smart phones and kindles. Sparklight After just disconnecting my Comcast modem and reconnecting the new modem, the tech attempted to send signal multiple times, he could not successfully send the signal to the new modem… So I had to keep the Comcast modem unless I wanted to pay to have a tech come out (I don’t think so) (HOW CONVENIENT).
Renting Xfinity gateway costs $13 per month and I was searching on line to find some ways to cut costs.
All good. I can’t seem to find a modem that has internet, wireless,router, and telephony. Sparklight you mean **I** have to buy a battery for *their* equipment??? A big THANK YOU to you!Hello there, I currently have Comcast and my internet is supposed to be at 150 mbps.
But dropping the voice line means I drop to Comcast Double Play, AT NO REDUCTION IN MY MONTHLY FEE! It plugs in to your router (phone plugs into it) and works just as well, at a fraction of the price.After careful consideration — and counting costs — I finally decided to get an Ooma and dump my Comcast phone line. I currently run a phone and an 8 way wired router off my modem with another wireless router. Now, she no longer uses a cell phone, and doesn’t need or want the router anymore. You can go with a cable modem and pair it with a wireless router. Provide your cable ISP with the modem router’s model number. For my phone service I would still need a Comcast modem on my cable line along with my internet cable modem but Comcast doesn’t charge a rental fee for the phone only modem even though it has internet capability.A router simply converts your Internet into a wifi network to be received by wifi antennas in your computer or mobile phone.
