Motorola surfboard cn go up to 50mbps?

i think the one starhub issued is good enough unless ure into gaming

If you switch to another modem you'll need to register its MAC id with Starhub. Cos they charge extra if you use multiple broadband access points.

Any good modem to recommend?

Hmm modems for home network just go for any cheap ones will do, as long as they are designed to work with your access point. To setup wireless home network better to go for wireless N routers, vast improvement over B/G.

Hey pal, sorry to bump up the thread: Wireless AC routers are now in stores. New standard and faster.

I was given an Asus one when I change to OpenNet. It's damn lousy, even my prehistoric Linksys is better but it's a G, and does not have Repeater mode. Configuring it was a pain because it takes a several minutes to save any new settings.

 

I do have a preference for Linksys products.

I like Linksys too. Dlink's hardware often fail randomly without good reason and their customer service isn't great. Not much support in terms of firmware upgrades, etc. as well.

I have a spare Motorola SBV5121 modem and a Linksys WRT-54G in case you're interested. Very good condition.

Any modem would do the job. But you would lose VOIP.
