Jim, do you have Comcast High Speed Internet? If so, I'd like your

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.

I'm not Jim, but...

I have Comcast high speed internet. The only hardware I have from
Comcast is its "cable modem." I run the cable modem into an eight-port
router/switch. That device connects via wire to various computers and
printers in the house, and ALSO connects via wire to my wireless router.
The wireless router sends a proper wireless signal to my wireless laptop
when I want to use it "wirelessly" around the house.

I did change the address on my wired router/switch so it would not
conflict with the address on my wireless router. Took less than a
minute, and I'm an English major.

I recommend Linksys wireless routers. They're inexpensive and their tech
support people are live and in the states.

That's exactly as I figured it would work. Comcast just wanted to
install home networking, which, like you, I can do myself.
