Thank You for that. I had been to that page but missed the first page where you could keep the existing at no charge. The next page lists the modems recommended. What modem are you going to buy. Haven't found any on that list for that price. If you tell me what you are buying, please list why. P.M> if necessary. I have problems understanding the terminology and what would actually work. Thanks That is much better than the same model lowest priced Arriss at $158.00 new that I could find.
I figure the DOCSIS 3.0 has to do with the speed that the modem will download data, in a nutshell. There's stuff about channels and bands and stuff like that but that seems to be the meat of it. My internet speeds are only around 10 mbps so I don't need as much speed as the DOCSIS 3.0 allows, which I believe is around 100 mbps.
So basically what you'll have when you're finished is, for example, your old phone/internet modem from TWC that will only be used for the phone, an Arris SB6141 modem to access the internet, and a router(wireless if you want a Wifi network) if you have more than one device you wish to connect to the internet.
Clear as mud? :)
