In the past, I’ve been all-in on owning your own modem and router, Dwight Silverman...
Each month, when your Comcast bill comes due, many of you pay a monthly fee for the device that provides internet access in your homes. Rental for what’s known as the Xfinity Gateway typically runs $14 a month, or $168 a year.
That said, some aspects are more complicated, particularly choosing which modem and router to buy. There are modems from two existing standards available now; one is a much smarter choice than the other, but the speeds it can accommodate will vary. And routers come in a dizzying variety of models, types and prices.
The device for which you pay monthly combines the modem and router into one package. If you want to use your own equipment, you’ll mostly likely want to split those up. Combination modem/routers are available for consumers, but it makes more sense to separate them. This lets you take independent advantage of updated tech in each category. If something goes wrong with either component, you don’t have to get rid of the entire combo box.
Before you choose, check with your cable provider to make sure a particular modem is compatible. Comcast’s modem compatibility page is at. And it’s a good idea to occasionally check even after buying a modem. In researching this column, I discovered that my Netgear CM-1000 is now considered “not supported” because it can’t hit the speeds I’m paying for.
