Cable Forum - View Single Post - Superhub Modem mode

I suppose even though I'm using a wired connection, the kids and Mrs are often on laptops / mobiles elsewhere in the house.

After rummaging through the "retired kit" box I've found the Netgear Pro Safe firewall / switch that I used to use with the old cable modem, and an old Belkin Pre-N Wireless Router which can be configured to operate as a Wireless Acces point. So I should be able to put something together to test if Modem Mode improves stability without opening the wallet (always a bonus !)

It's a shame to go back to a 3 box solution - that simplicity was part of the appeal of the Superhub - but small price to pay if it improves the stability and means I can spend less time at my desk.
