| [Speed] Speed Question I currently have Comcast's Performance Starter [6 down/1 up] which is sufficient to stream Netflix in HD [single stream household, hardwired to a Roku]. I'm using an older modem and router [Motorola SB5120 & Linksys WRT54G] and it does achieve the advertised speed when I measure it using Xfinity's speed test. Is there any advantage to me in updating either the modem or the router particularly in terms of maximizing speed? |

| If you consistently achieve the speeds you subscribe to, then probably not.

Given your situation, no it wouldn't help. But given Comcast's current/upcoming upgrades, if you own your modem and want to upgrade to the latest model, I would start with this: »www.amazon.com/Zoom-DOCSIS-Cable···e+modems
Aside from any increased speeds, your connection would be a great deal more stable over the SB5120 you have now. But if you're having no problems, upgrading at the time is optional.
Glad your connection works out. |

kudos:2 | Honestly if you want a cheap, up to date router, an Encore 2AN3 is a fraction of the price of a Linksys equivalent. Around $27 from Newegg and has very reasonable performance...from experience. |

| Sounds good. |
