We've decided to go ahead and sign up for Comcast Internet service, which means tackling setting up a home network. I'm pretty mystified by the range of equipment choices.
Our situtation: one desktop on second floor and one notebook on the first floor--pretty much directly below. Desktop is about 2 years old, notebook in process of being replaced with new one. Looking at 6mb Comcast service, but may replace it with Verizon FIOS once that hits our area.
I had looked at the Motorola SBG1000 Gateway, but I'm thinking the all-in-one isn't a great idea if you need to upgrade or replace one part of it. So now I'm looking at the Motorola SB5120 modem and the Linksys WRT54GL router.
Any reason these are or aren't good choices? Anything I should consider?
