[Hidden-tech] Modem alternatives to Comcast/Xfinity

[Tom Kopec]

I have an Arris SB8200 modem that we used on Comcast, available for the 
cost of shipping. LMK if you want it.

We moved to FL, and we have fiber. The ISP gives us an ethernet jack, 
the 'modem' (ONT) is free.

Down here I'm running a couple Asus wifi routers with ai-mesh and 
ethernet backhaul (though 5GHz backhaul worked OK..).. they work great, 
though I had to turn off some of the Asus "optimizations" because they 
don't f'in work (pardon my French)

Cinderblock walls down here are a bit of a challenge.
