Re: Netgear to Linsky Router is Possible?

I can't answer your question until you tell me if you have

1. a single device with COAX cable going into it that has ports on
the back and has embedded wireless

2. a cable modem and a separate router (two devices).

I don't understand why you can't answer this question. But if you
have a single device, the answer is NO. You would have to call and
have them swap the all in one device for a regular cable modem and
then you can hook up your own router.

I suspect that it is a single device. You do not want to hook up a
router to it.

Hi:
Thanks for the response.

I truly NOT sure what model and device supplied when Comcast tech.
came to my house to get it installed.

Only I know is this router/device was installed two and a half years ago,
then I'm guessing that it's not up-to-date device. For that reason, there
must
be something I need to be done, that is upgrade. Or, should I call Comcast
regarding my option, upgrade version?

I'd be greatly appreciated it if you'd provide me with more detailed
instruction
whether I could replace it to Linsky Router with Speed.

Thanks,

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.
