What happens if my high speed internet increases in speed.....then the modem is no good?

What are you using the modem for? What's the Internet Services top speed? I have comcast plus boost running over 40 Wi - fi devices with no issues. If you are concerned, spend more for newer top of the line device.

This is a gigabit router... I seriously doubt your internet provider will outgrow this modem anytime soon... :)My old crappy router that I rented from Xfinity was a megabit router... Old technology... I'm very pleased with this router...

Do you lose internet connection when under heavy load (streaming movies, transferring files, etc?). On the old firmware version, I had problems with the router cutting out when the wireless connection was under heavy load and requiring a reboot. The newer firmware certainly helps, but sometimes it happens. I know it's the wireless flaking out because the wired ethernet ports work fine. Definitely try Kevin's suggestion first. Belkin has been pretty good technically when it comes to support. If the modem has internet connection, but the router doesn't, I would make sure the cable between the router and the modem is okay.

I don't know, I only have the "everyday basic" mbps. On a happy front, I rebooted my modem and randomly started pushing the buttons on the front of the modem and now my wireless is working again. Yea!

Yeah probably. I wish I had a solid answer for you. We used this for maybe 6 months and then switched Internet providers.

First, log onto the modem and check the connection speeds indicated. If too low based on your contract with the DSL provider, contact them to do a remote line check. If bandwidth is good coming into the modem, check for a traffic issue on whatever the modem connects to. It's possible a switch is slowing things up. Often a gigabit switch to replace an older 10/100 switch will work to speed up your LAN.

Jeff, I don't believe your connection speed will be limited by the top end of the device, whatever that might be, but by your service provider.

Nothing will speed up dial-up internet, unfortunately. It's possible to get *maybe* another hundred +/- kilobytes speed, but that will be unoticeable in use. This modem just makes it simpler to setup ones internet connection with Linux (because it's an external modem) and Windows because it's smaller than most external and internal modems.

It might help using a high speed Ethernet cord, if you have one I would try seeing if there's som wrong with your router other than that I don't know because my router is up stairs.

I think that would be best to ask that question to your Internet provider. Also ask them if it works with your modem as well.

Not particularly make sure your cables are cat5e at the least and that your internet speed is running okay

No, this modem will support up to 38Mbps. If you have a 50Mbps plan, you will only see up to 38Mbps.

Yes. You should also contact your internet provider for a list of approved modems, as many will limit the modems you can use. You'll also want to make sure that the modem you purchase can transfer the data speeds you pay for.

I think so... I had high speed internet; but don't know what the speed was...

It will only increase your internet signal connection so if your internet was slow because of weak signal it may help but if your deivce/internet it self is slow it will remain the same

I have the 15Mbps plan with Time Warner. I just installed this modem and it does in fact work. When I plugged it in and called 800-TWC-HELP to activate the modem, they asked me for the model number. When I told them, they said that they were sorry, this one is not approved. I asked them if they could try it anyway. And YES, it works. He tried to warn me that there might be speed problems with one that is unapproved, but get this: Right before I took out the old one, I did a speed test. The one they supplied with the internet activation gave me a speed of 9.28. This Cisco one gave me a speed of 13.52! So there you go. I have the 15Mbps plan with Time Warner.

my cox internet and my phone work great with this modem but if you are in doubt I would call comcast to see if there would be any conflict with their connection.

We cannot honestly tell exactly if that would help, unless we can identify that the problem is with your existing modem-router and/or the range extender (if we got that right). How far can the signal go with your modem-router? It would help if you can tell us more about your experience.
