Hello,
I'm in the process of upgrading my wireless and wired network. So far, I have only upgraded my notebook wireless card to an Intel Ultimate N 6300. My next step is to upgrade my router to most likely a Linksys E4200. My question pertains to cable modem upgrades. My current ISP is with Comcast (I think with a 20Mbps package), and I have a Motorola Surfboard DOCSIS 2.0 modem. Would it be effective to upgrade to a DOCSIS 3.0 modem on a 20Mbps plan? I've done some research and I'm fairly sure that DOCSIS 3.0 is supported in my area. I also saw that a DOCSIS 3.0 modem should be used for 15Mbps packages and up. Anyone have any experiences with this?
Thanks!

With that kind of throughput you don't need DOCSIS 3 yet but there's another added benefit of DOCSIS 3- it supports IPv6 unlike its predecessor.
This alone may make it a worthy upgrade. -

if you're upgrading to 50Mbps, you will for sure need DOCSIS 3.0 modem.

Ok, thanks for the input guys. Much appreciated =).
