Re: Wireless Router Question (AKA Help a Dummy?)

I looked for a modem to buy everywhere. I have Comcast triple play and the modems available did not have the telephone landline port. Not one store carries this modem. One modem I found has 4 Ethernet ports. One clerk showed me a phone landline adapter for Ethernet but I don't know if this would work with Comcast. Finally I went to Comcast to rent the new modem. The guy told me only place that sold this modem was Costco. I don't have a membership. So renting it for now.

I think you can buy from Costco, you just pay a little more{#emotions_dlg.confused1} I know Sam's Club is that way.

Comcast treats Voice modems like set top boxes. Mostly a rental product.
