[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2286818, member: 29706"] You can even get unsupported bridges to work on the cox network especially now when you basically just hook up a new one and just put in your account info and activate automatically. Mine is a docsis 3.0 Arris, it's not a big name Motorola but it has worked great and I can see a lot of the service side info a lot of the others don't have access to. If you buy used you will probably have to deal with customer service if it was already activated on an account but I had no problems with my previous one even though it had been used by a friend before. If you buy a new one DEFINITELY spend the extra for a docsis 3.0 that is 8X4, 8 downstream and 4 upstream channels. As far as the internal antenna's. . . yeah they work but if you have it in the downstairs farthest corner of the house and you can't get wifi reception in some of the rooms you don't have the option to add oh say one of these [b][Broken External Image][/b] I have one that is slightly larger and have a CPM that will allow connections to networks nearly a mile away with that antenna. . . great for camping and getting something a little smaller or a directional can be great fun. At home it can allow you to push a signal to your back yard. DD-wrt can be a bit confusing but having the option to use it is a big advantage. The easiest way to get started is to read up on their forums and ask questions. I had a linksys wrt54g years back that I could connect to from a little over a city block away with a plain old laptop, my place was right next to the mall and there was no wifi available so I could just hook up to my home internet.
