Re: [TWC] Question about avoiding TWC's WiFi service charge

Thanks for all the responses.

Does anybody have an opinion about the Motorola SBG6580 versus the Motorola SB6141? The SB6141 seems to have gotten better reviews on Amazon but the Motorola SBG6580 is more widely available on eBay so it's cheaper.

Personally, I think the 6141 is a better bet... never been a huge fan of the all-in-one devices, as their gateway functionality usually is lacking. I run the SB6141 and an Apple Airport Extreme and it works flawlessly.

I agree with others. Go with the 6141 and buy a separate wireless router.

Ditto, I will provide my own network devices (wireless, routers, etc.). TWC will just give me service and its modem.
