And this:

Return whatever your cable company is charging you $10 a month for. In less than a year the cable modem you purchased will be paying for itself. If for some reason the wireless router isn't giving you the coverage you want, buy a second one and set it up as a repeater. A bit pricier that way but you'll definitely get full coverage. The unit by itself should be enough to cover a full 2 story home assuming there isn't too much interference and it's not in a weird location.

Alternately stick a phone up your butt and be one with the intarwebz.

I got a ZyXEL C3000Z. Yeah it's pretty fucken sweet, I saw you admiring it. That's a man's router right there, includes wireless inside and works with my FIBER DSL which is definitely a real thing. This baby won't even work with any service that isn't centurylink, that's how high-quality it is any other modem would like, probably blow up

Lol, you've caused awful memories of slapping nics in old Dell Dimensions to make pfsense and ipcop firewalls because my job at the time was uproariously cheap, then later doing the same to make a asterisk server because they were too cheap to get a new pbx, to come rushing back. I am now filled with mortal terror at the thought of them still being in production.
