my modem died somewhere thursday night. didnt know for sure until saterday when i talked to the help desk *wiggle* It had something to do with the bitrate going nuts and going over its buffer rating or something :S but i dont know much about that. i do know its an old modem from 2002 so i guess its due time for a replacement *Wiggle*

they told me they will send a new modem but it will take 5 to 10 working days -_- Personally i wonder why it must take so long but i bet they have their reasons *wiggle* untill the modem arives i cant be online and can only check the forum at school

so i guess i will see ya all in a couple of days/weeks *wiggle*

thanks, but i dont know if that will help. last time we bought a modem (wich was pretty annoying since ya can only buy em at specific places these days) it was a real pain getting it set up to connect to the provider *Wiggle* a nephew did it so i dont know the specifics, nor do i know if any modem will work. we could always give it a try thoug, but i dont know much more about setting it up than where what plug needs to go *Wiggle*

Linksys is also good, with all stuff included like portforwarding, triggering, Datasave/Restore and Qos.

Hope u can solve this.

Linksys is a very good choice.

It could be that you had an electric storm up there, and allot of peeps lost there system.

Good luck wiggy, and I hope you get your modem fast.

Linksys is Cisco ;)

Just buy this one and you never gonna have problems one of the best modems I always have/had Linksys (Cisco now) even if someone uses your wirless Modem gonna give you enough speed for gaming ect.
And if u take this Modem with Linksys EasyLink Advisor you get that at CD is very easy to install & control your Router.
