Jim, do you have Comcast High Speed Internet? If so, I'd like your
thoughts.
I've heard tales from two people. I'm not completely ignorant about
networks, having expanded, installed in offices a couple of times, do
my own IT work, etc. Well, I've been told that it's difficult to
connect a wireless router to Comcast. Another told me he connected a
wireless router, and it worked without changing any tcp/ip settings.
Comcast, of course, wants to install there own home network, at a cost.
I don't want them screwing with anything after their modem. I want to
do it, then I can maintain it. Anyway, if you, or any others here read
this, and have connected a wireless, or wired router to comcast modem,
tell me your experiences. Comcast will give you no advice, seeing how
it isn't their network.


We do indeed have Comcast high speed but everything is hard wired to 5 rooms
(2 separate connections in my office) through a 10 port router. I ran the
cat cable myself (a real PITA) and own the router.

We have never had a problem and get consistent DL speeds of 3,500 kbs and UL
speeds of 380 kbs.
