Router crapped out
I'd been expecting it for a few weeks, and had purchased a replacement. Finally, this morning it would not connect to the internet.
I unplugged it and hooked up the new one and was ready to go in about 20 minutes - after I reconfigured all the wireless devices in the house. The new one is a Century Link C-1000A. I don't know who makes them, but I sure notice a speed difference over the old one. My old wi-fi network was named, "Sanders". The new one is named, "FBI Surveillance Van".

I use the one Comcast gave me for one reason; Should they decide to change the standards they have to give me a new one. Already happened once. Just make sure you turn off the Free signal it puts out for Xfinity Hotspot.

We bought our own routers, cheaper that way. No obligations.

I bought my own modem and router. Don't need another bill. The amount you save in a year will buy you another one and have $20-$30 change. If it lasts longer than a year it's additional money you've saved.
