Let me clarify a bit more. Time Warner is charging me about 5$ a month to keep this modem-router-wireless access point, and I want to get rid of it. They were originally suppose to give me a modem, but they gave me what I have now. I want to cancel the modem-router-wireless access point and have them just give me a modem (it's free.)

Then I was going to get the access point (router) I linked too. It's gotten great reviews, and does exactly as I wanted, and it IS a D-Link as well.

My question was, does the modem need to be a better modem to "high-end" as well to get optimal speeds? Or ?
