I currently have ATT DSL with a 2Wire wireless Gateway. I love it. Next month I will be moving and I wanted to find a product like the 2Wire I have for Comcast. I don't want to have to buy a modem and a router because I will only keep the Comcast for 6 months. Help!![]()

You can rent a cable modem from Comcast for about $3/month. However, you'll probably want to get a WiFi router from BestBuy though...I don't think Comcast has them.
Think of it on the bright side...you'll own the WiFi for next time you change providers. -
I just saw this in the ads.

And this online:

Linksys routers seem to work pretty well, the only limitation is that you can only forward a max of 10 port ranges. And I have NEVER seen anything like that modem+router combo, looks very interesting.

comcast does offer a home wireless networking, bad news, the xtra cost of the install ($99) and monthly rent of the gateway over the period of 6 months you could purchase a cheap router. Comcast uses both linksys and netgear equip and you donthave a choice. Just rent the modem, purchase your choice of router ($30-50 online) pay for just the internet instal, plug your modem into uplink/wan port, plug your laptop into network port, config the wireless and set up your wpa key and your set.
good luck.
