Hi,
Telus, I thought had something against it, but I don't think Shaw will
have a problem with it, though I haven't asked.
Thanks,

Good morning,
There is no reason that you cannot use a 3rd party modem with
Canadian DSL / Cable providers. There just isn't normally to big of
a reason to do so. I've used 3rd party DSL modems with Aliant and
Bell in the past.

Oh,
I don't think we are allowed here in Canada to do that, so it never
crossed my mind.
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm using DSL right now, not Cable. I will probably purchase the
system from another company rather than through Comcast.

Hi,
Well, the problem is when you want to upgrade the router, you
have to get Comcast to give you an upgraded Modem as well, and
they probably won't unless there is something wrong with the one
you got.
Thanks,

I use a Siemens 6500 series DSL modem / wireless router. the
user interface is reasonably accessible with both IE and FF. It
is also a pretty good modem (current uptime is 45 days). I get
about 1100KBps transfering files from one computer to another
across the wireless LAN.

I've got a netgear stand alone and it works well. I've not
had any experience with combos though. While the initial
setup was done via cd, it might not have been necessary
because I just followed the instructions. I also don't know
the model off hand.

Hello everyone,
We are getting ready to purchase either a wireless router and
Cable modem or a Cable modem Wireless Router combined.
So my question is this. Which router has the best and clearest
interface for Safari and VO?
Or would I be better to consider an Airport base station.
We will also be connecting a few windows machines and a Linux
box as well.
Thanks.
Dan
