Hi Traci, As far as modems go I like the Motorola one's on amazon. I bought one and have had no trouble with it. What I did was dump the X1 package (which went from $129 to $199 without notice) and just went to Xfinity internet with my own modem. Also if you get your own modem you save $10 a month

Thank you, it does help. I have tossed around the idea of buying our own router/modem, but don’t really know what to choose. We don’t pay for the fastest Internet, but it works enough for our household. It might be something like up to 150 Mb per second. I welcome advice and suggestions on mod

Hi, The Extreme has a more powerful processor in it so it can better handle the big demands for bandwidth. For normal household use though, this may not be a factor. The Extreme also has more ethernet ports for more wired connectivity. If you like streaming music from your computer to a ster

Hello: As the subject line implies, I'm considering strongly purchasing one of these devices. After reviewing the specs of both devices, I cannot see that there is a major difference between these 2 units regarding overall network functionality. Obviously, the Extreme costs quite a bit more than

All: FYI. My parents' router crashed. I picked them up an Airport Extreme at the Apple store. It was very simple, and accessible to setup. My Mac is super fast! I highly recommend it. I can't belive how simple the setup process was. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the
