But this may all be a moot point because depending on where you live, the Best Buy stores are sold out and will not be getting any more 4100b modems.
Is there any reason why I can't just order one from the website?

And once I get one, what do you have to do to make it work with AT&T? As far as I knew, once you got the router configured, the modem was just plug & play. With the modem I have now, they mailed it to me and I just plugged it in, and it worked.

 We've had both DSL and cable for years. For both connections we've always had good experiences with Motorola modems. Currently we have the Motorola 2200 on our 6 mbps AT&T DSL. It's the best modem I have ever used. You can even log into the modem and check the connection quality and sync. Having that information has been very good when we've had a problem with the connection. Also, we have 6 computers on this connection at all times doing all kinds of heave load stuff. The Motorola modem is much better under heavy load than our previous Speedstream modem. The Motorola also survives thunder storms which has fried two Speedstream modems for us. We purchased the modem from an AT&T store for around $50. We have also gotten it recommended from a AT&T line tech who simply told us he had a much easier job adjusting and optimizing a DSL line for customers with this modem than with any other AT&T offers themselves. If you have unlimited funds I think a lot will agree that the Intertex modems are the best. But they start at +$200.
