I have a quick question for you gentlemen:
I'm looking at getting a 50/10 internet connection at home. I've found the modem that I need to handle the jump in speeds (I'm coming off of a 7/whatever connection) off of the company's recommended modems, which has also gotten great reviews on quite a few sites. The issue is that I don't understand enough about networking to puzzle out what routers (preferably with wireless capabilities) would be able to handle the new speeds. All I have now is a puny little thing that I rented from my old network provider.
It's time to act like a big boy and buy my own equipment, but I'm getting a bit overloaded with the technical terms of the connection, and could use a bit of help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If anything, a point in the right direction so that I could learn the information on my own would be better than nothing.
