Re: Netgear to Linsky Router is Possible?

Isn't your Comcast supplied device an all-in-one cable modem and
router? with an input for the coax cable? the Comcast product is a
Netgear 814 model. Or did you really get a separate cable modem and
Netgear router?

Hi:
Currently, I have the following Router, 'NetGear Wireless-G Router' that was
rented by
my ISP, Comcast.
http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/GWirelessRouters/WGR614.aspx

However, I want to replace it to the following router, 'Linsky Wireless-G
Router with Speed
Booster.' Because, one of computer has Vista and I want to get more speed.
There are three
more PCs and Laptop, all of which has XP-Home Edition.

My question is;
Is it possible for me to switch from Netgear to Linsky on my own?
The reason I'm asking is that Netgear was installed upon subscribing my ISP
and professionally installed by
ISP-technician. Then, I never done it, although I did replace wireless
adapter to Linsky Speed-booster on the
back of PC with Vista.

If possible, what step and precaution should I take before proceeding ?

Thanks for your help in advance.
