Only thing you might try, if there is going to be a tech visit.

Thanks Furry.
They are allowing me to rent a technicolor router from them for 10 a month but the wireless coverage is terrible from what I heard in the reviews.
Might have to shell out the 10 a month and put it in bridge mode.
Any word on if the 7500 v1 caps speed at all? Honestly I would be happy with even around the 750 range.
Thanks!
