Hi:
Thanks for the detailed response and help.
Yes, it's a single device, #1 you stated in detail.
The reason why I want to switch to Linsky with Speed-Booster is
that one of PCs with XP getting sluggish. Also, I switched to Lisky
Adapter with
Speed and working very well on PC with Vista.
In any case, I need to call Comcast regarding a change of Single Device
with COAX
cable. Also, COMCAST embedded on the top of device. I've been paying
$3.00 per
month for this device. If I can do myself, it must save some $ for
long-run, since I plan
to keep Comcast as long as I can.
Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,

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.

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/W...
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.
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename...
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.

Any router / cable modem change will not help to increase the network
speed. You need to make sure that:
1) The Vista PC is running anti-virus (none built-in) and keep is up
to date
2) Run anti-spyware (not just Windows Defender, which is not an anti-
virus system.)
3) Locate and update the network adapter drivers.
4) Analyse the automatic "start-up" programs and remove those programs
that you "feel" should not be starting up.
Speedboost is only for wireless networking. If you want the Vista PC
be faster, conenct it to the router over a standard Ethernet cable.
Wireless networking "prior" to Wi-Fi 802.11n is always slower than
Ethernet "wired" networking.
If you have more questions, you should be posting into a Vista group.
