Usually Time Warner will provide a modem for free with the service and then
charge you if you need a router. If you need a modem any DOCSIS 2.0 or 3.0
modem will work, you can even find people sell them real cheap on craigslist.
As for a router I would recommend Asus RT-N12 only $40 and gives
Time Warner doesn't provide modems for free, they never have. You
either need to purchase the modem yourself (usually about $50) or rent
it for something like $5/mo.
It's cheaper to buy the modem upfront, but renting has the advantage of
TWC replacing it should something go wrong.

Technically they call it a lease. Mine was $7/mo.

Alex, is that router going to be able to cover both the house and the yard?
I have a Linksys E3000 Dual Band and it's signal barely extends 50 feet
beyond the walls of my house at 100% transmit power, they're also brick
walls so that's a major factor with that. If Martin's house has brick walls

Chris,
I guess they just slip the modem lease in my time warner bill. That or just
screwed up my bill and are giving it to me for free.
Omar,
Even high gain routers don't go through brick walls at all. Having dual band
doesn't help much either 5.8 ghz gives you less range. Probably your
Alex,
Yea that's why I linked outdoor antennas for Martin as an option to use
with less expensive routers, dual band is good if there are 5Ghz devices
inside the house so they don't place traffic on the 2.4Ghz band for devices
outside the house, IF... hopefully Martin's RasPi is connected via
Also, I tend to go overboard sometimes, best to choose the simplest
solution that works, than to plan for every conceivable point of failure.

If the range can't go outside, then he put the antenna outside he is going to
come across the same issue for indoor use. Also I am not sure why everyone
gets the assumption Wireless N has better range. The range is dealt with the
amplification of the radio, which Generally most SOHO/consumer
Absolutely right Alex, though I think that its less about specifically
range, more about reliability at a greater distance, because N uses spatial
multiplexing across multiple

I am looking to get TW cable service.
On their website they list comparable modems and routers.
I am going for the $15. per month package.
I keep trying to find a compatible unit at office max or staples, but can't
seem to locate one.
What I'm seeing seems to far surpass twc's requirements.

with those requirements, you're looking at spending just that much on your
wireless equipment.
