keep in mind i've little knowledge on this subject, so if my questions sound dumb i'm sorry. to further clarify this is pertaining to a home network.
was browsing the internet earlier and received a random message from my cable provider (didn't know that they could do that by the way) that told me i needed to upgrade to a newer modem that used docsis 3.0 signaling to get a benefit from a recent speed boost. since than i've been looking through the modems suggested by the internet provider.
suggested modems
from the list i was thinking of buying the netgear CMD31T since it had a lower price and i already have a router. but looking around i'm worried that my router wont be able to make use of the speed boost from this new modem.
i'm using a cisco linksys E2500 wireless router that i got about a year ago, and from a few sites i've found around the internet it sounds like that type of router has a cap speed output that is lower than the modem. i'm just wondering of someone could explain if this is true or not and if true would you suggest i go with a new modem with wireless router function?
