Re: Modem/Router/Router -

[Tony Su]

I also endorse using your own equipment although some equipment might
be a little bit of an adventure.

I've posted several times over the past 8 months or so about the
equipment I've been using on Cox and Spectrum, I don't even have to
tell the ISP what equipment I'm using... I just tell them I'm using my
own equipment on the Service Order, then hook up my own equipment. As
long as the equipment id compatible with their system, everything
happens more or less automaticatlly… The equipment is discovered,
recogniziaed, identified and then authorized firmware updates are
installed automatically (by the ISP). If all goes well, somewhere
between 20 t0 90 minutes after initial hookup, the system should be
working.

You need to identify your equipment if you want help with your
different options. Nowadays, I think most SOHO residential gateways
come with web-based Administration. You may need to use a wired
connection instead of a wireless.
