If you have a cable modem, I highly recommend buying an Arris SB6190 “Surfboard” instead of renting the one that Comcast or your cable provider rents for $10/month. This modem has 32 tuners and can get you much better downloads than what the rental modem can provide. I am paying for 60 but realizeing 248 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up.

Naturally you NEED a WiFi router, which you can buy from Walmart. I suggest the 802.11AC at best, or the 802.11n if you are buying one.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I've been using my own modem for some time, but definitely due for an upgrade on both modem/router. Charter keeps trying to get me back to the TV/internet package($79.99 or something).

I've got a feeling they(others)are going to start to make up for cable cutting by charging up the wazoo for internet.
