While we're on the topic of routers, I have a quick question, hopefully someone can help a brotha out... We have Time Warner for our cable, phone and high speed internet. They installed it at our first apartment when we moved to Raleigh last year, and I was able to hook up my Netgear router just fine. I forget what kind of modem it was, but it accpeted it. We switched to a smaller apartment to save money for our house, and when Time Warner came to reinstall the cable, we got some new modem, a Motorola Smartboard or something like that... Now I can't connect my wireless router to the modem... Does anyone have any experience in dealing with this, and know what kind of router I should buy to connect with this new modem? I won't need a wireless card because my laptop has wireless built-in.

Re: Router Help
you should be able to connect your router to it, but you may need to change some settings in the router and modem, search the forums at http://www.dslreports.com/, they probably will have a guide showing you how to set it upComment

Re: Router Help
No, I can't get it connected at all... The cord from the modem won't fit my modem... I'm not very good with the technical jargon, but the open slots on my router are for basic phone cords, while the cord coming from the modem seems to be ethernet type... Goodness, I felt dumb typing that... LOLComment
