Hello everyone,
I have been looking around for a router that is able to support Fiber to home internet connection with Winfirst.com with a 10 mbps rate. Basically, there is no modem hooked up. I used to have SMC barricade 7400 which worked well with @Home cable with a 1.5 mbps rate. When Winfirst installed the fiber optics through my router, the connection speed dropped to .035 mbps
The Winfirst people claims that most routers are not fast enough to support the blazing speed of fiber optics so I had to disconnect my router. Recently talked to a tech support and said that there has been reports that an auto sensing 10/100 router will probably work. Any recommendations? I would like to network the computer I'm about to build and I don't want to have to pay for an extra IP. Sorry for the long post and Thank you very much in advance.
