<div dir="ltr">I don't see the point in renting a Comcast cable modem. I've been buying my own for years to save money. They should pay for themselves in under a year. It just has to be DOCSIS compliant for the quality of service you are paying for. They are readily available online or in stores like Staples. <div><br></div><div>The cable modem can have built in Wifi router too or not. We keep them separate and plug the wifi router into the cable modem. Over time that's evolved too. We now have a mesh network set up in the house so we can get a dependable signal across our house.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 25, 2020 at 3:36 PM Arthur Evans via Hidden-discuss <<a href="mailto:hidden-discuss@lists.hidden-tech.net">hidden-discuss@lists.hidden-tech.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">We've been renting Comcast modems for years, now at $14.00/month and we have connectivity issues with wi-fi which we have only had moderate success fixing with an extender. <div>We are looking for recommendations for the advisability of buying a modem with extenders for a larger home to replace Xfinity's which will last well - or is it best to stick with what Xfinity provides?
