You CAN buy a modem at retail. If you act fast, go to
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Motorola-Cable-Modem-SB5101/sem/rpsm/oid/162042/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
this is a GOOD modem and as you can see, it is FREE after rebates
and such. Then buy a good router. Have Comcast switch you from a
leased to an owned modem and you will not have to pay the $3 monthly
fee.
OR You CAN call and tell Comcast to swap your device for a stand
alone modem and then BUY the router you want.
(None of this will speed up the computer itself. )

Thanks both for your candid and honest answer to my question.--
It's a kind disappointing to know that I can NOT do anything about this, ..
renting. When I asked Comcast upon installation two and a half years ago,
they told me 'ONLY rental basis,' that means I can NOT buy this device.
After all, it's business, then I need to live with the fact that it costs me
a lot
over-all, since I intend to keep Comcast for a long time.
Thanks again for your help and advice.
Have a GREAT day!

not sure what they would charge to rent a regular cable modem, but
there is a charge for that.

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/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.
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1148435315453&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=1545339789B04
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.
