Re: [Speed] May have to switch to Comcast Well the refurbed Netgear router mentioned above, came from Amazon today. Now that GBTV has been fixed, I'm hoping it's not just a futile exercise to use this thing, right?
Hopefully it will STILL speed things up some, over the TG862 gateway?
I'll need to wait for the weekend to try this, so as not to risk losing business emails or anything. |

| You have a day or 2, take the time to chart out which port you want each thing attached to, which (if any) devices are staticly assigned, and so on. then take your time move one wire at a time and being sure that works before the next.
If carefully thought through the change over should be less than an hour--- and in worse case you can back up to where you are now, and try again later. |

I'm totally clueless at this point, will have to look up what you mean. 
But IS there any point in messing with this, now that things are working? Will it really speed things up, make them run any more smoothly, or give us any advantage at all?
The old saying comes to mind: If it works, don't fix it. |

Sounds to me as if you are giving yourself some good advice.
