I actually perfer separate devices. My experience has been that the "all in one" devices (modem, router, wireless access point) aren't very flexible. For my DSL service, I actually had to pay a little more to get just a modem rather than what they call an "internet gateway". This allowed me to use a Linksys WRT54GS, which I can load custom firmware on and easily upgrade the antennas.
Cable modems and DSL modems are entirely different technologies. I don't know why the person you spoke with would tell you that your cable internet service would use DSL. With separate devices (modem and router/wireless access point), you will have the flexability to buy a wireless router that will suit your wireless range needs. With an all-in-one device, you are stuck with what the phone company or cable company make available. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet.
