You should also be aware that if you want to upgrade to Comcast's newest and fastest modem you do not have to use the included wifi.

During the activation process they have a by pass or bridge routine that excludes the wifi feature of the device. Then one can continue using their own router wifi set up.

The best alternative is to buy your own (on the list) modem for $50-$100 and get the smae upgrade in speed and eliminate the $8-$10 modem rental charge by comcast.
