How can I replace the cable company’s modem/router with my own, so I’m not being charged a service/lease fee?
I am currently being charged .99/month for Charter Cables’ "Home Networking Service" (.00 for the router lease & .99 for the service/support). I would REALLY like to eliminate this cost. I have moderate computer knowledge, but this is over my head.
Can you recommend anything for replacing their equipment with my own (i.e. modems, routers, a link to a website regarding setup)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hate Charter!
I also have already purchased a Netgear WGR614, which is unopened, but could theoretically be used in this implementation. Can anyone recommend a "good" modem to use with this?

First you would have to buy your own modem and router. So you might want to do the math and see if it’s cost effective for you. I personally prefer a gateway which is a combined modem and wireless router to simplify wiring. Check out Motorola SBG900.

Any modem as long as it is a cable modem will work just fine. Netgear might recommend another Netgear product bu I will only take that as suggestion.
