A modem usually refers to the device in your house that receives the internet signal. This can be both broadband, fiber optic, telephone line or just anything else really that is connected to the internet. |

So I just recently installed internet into my home. I went with Time Warner (there customer service sucks) but there price is good. So they gave me a modem/router in 1. The coaxial wire goes directly into the router and sends out the signal. |

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.) |

Nobody knows the answer to my question? =/ |

lol, looking for prompt service, aren't we? |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
The free router will definitely not have the same range as an actual Linksys access point, unless that's what they are giving you of course. Are you even sure the free router will work as a wireless access point aswell? |

First off your right you did answer the title's question. Thank you. |
|
I see. Are you sure that your ISP will allow you to use your own router? You should ask them about that before you go ahead and buy the one you mentioned. |
