Cable modems

I have an old Frontier cable modem (landline). I know I'm not going to get faster speed with a newer model, but this thing is megabyte and bottlenecks my LAN. Is there a modem router I can get with gigabyte ports and can still do landline ISP? Frontier is absolutely no help on technology that's decades old.

Re: Cable modems

Sorry but landline means old telephone wire connections, not cable.

Re: Cable modems

The CM1150v modem does both.

   In this context, that phase normally refers to a cable-TV-type modem.
Hence the confusion.

   Do you mean DSL?  (Wrong forum.)  Has your (unspecified) "an old
Frontier cable modem (landline)" a maker and model number?

   Sure, although perhaps not from Netgear.  Also, you might want to
consider a separate modem and router.  And those are gigabit ports, not
gigabyte ports.

Re: Cable modems

Thanks, but spending that kind of money for a landline DSL feed is a bit much. However I do appreciate the answer.

Typing mobile isn't always the best for spelling in my case. But thanks for the right part of this forum. Might as well kill this one.

   _What_ kind of money?  For what?
