It's easier to just sign up for carrytel..and if sure it works for you, cancel Rogers. It's always easier and less chance of screw ups if you do it yourself

Anyone here got their 150/15 and used your own modem (and maybe got to waive the installation fee)? Which modem is good for 150/15?

wysiwyg wrote: No, I get 2 unique external (99.xx.xx.xx) IPs from my Rogers gateway in bridge mode. I run 2 separate networks in my home, one which is normal and the other to a router that has all traffic flowing from another country via VPN. No extra cost from Rogers to get the second IP.

CABLE LINE ->CDA3 -> router A (main home network) -> internal issued ip 192.168.1.xxx ->computer/phone/tablet/go ip phones
CABLE LINE ->CDA3 -> router B (Main router with built in vpn client) -> other internal issue ip 192.168.10.xxx ->media devices

Router A and B cannot see each other.
How does 1 get a second ip?

Thx

Archer C60 for $59.99 ..it's an AC1350 modem... downside is no gigabit port

But price is good and it gives good coverage due to the 4x high gain powered antennas

Just ordered the plan from them two days ago, got confirmation today for the rogers tech to show up next Thursday.
Changing my father's plan from Distributell from 37 Cable 6/1 Mb to the 75/10 Mb.
The "retention" guy proposed to match the plan as well as the price but he told he can do it only for one year, so I told him no thank you
The cancelling call only took 15 min and was very quick and understanding. Thank you RFD again, (I keep wondering why did the topic about it keep disappearing.)
I am a noob for internet modems but just wondering whether the modem we have to buy is good or not.
Still being robbed by Canada's Telecos.
Looking forward to dotmobile.

I want something that can get as much speed out of my plan as possible, while still having decent range and allow for decent VOIP calls - I'm currently using a Linksys WRT54G (yeah....). Preferably max $130 - but willing to shell out more if it affects the quality of my connection and speed.
$130 max with taxes in, the best will be the Tp-link C7, it has gigabit wan and lan ports. In any case avoid routers without both gigabit wan and lan ports no matter how cheap they are.

Will you just keep the modem in case need to switch back after a year?

Was canceling easy?


Any AC1200 or above router will be fine...if you want something cheap and don't intend to mod... refurbished dlinks from Best buy or Walmart are my go-to

Unless you live in condo or small house, get a router with powered antennas and not the cylinder ones
Awesome tip. Grabbed a refurbished dlink 1200 for $40 at WM. Thank you!

If you guys want a good router, you should check out the refurbished Dlink 868L at the Source:

https://www.thesource.ca/en-ca/computer ... /108043728

I bought one. It arrived in like new condition. It has great range and oustanding performance. I've been running it for almost a year now and I haven't had to reboot it once. It's been rock solid stable on the latest stock firmware. I'm running it on a Rogers gigabit connection and it's able to resolve the full gigabit speed. Highly recommended. Don't forget you can add a filler item and then apply the $25 email coupon at the Source. PSP discount also. I'm seeing $62.99 with the PSP discount. Free shipping to a store location.

Featurewise it's good but these cylinder router don't have the greatest wifi coverage from my experience...I had a refurbished D860L and at the ends of the house on the floors above and below router it was iffy. I got the d-859 with a few powered antennas and it's better and don't need to use extender

But if in smaller house or condo..these cylinder ones are fine and look quite nice

Thought a tech is only needed for first time cable installation and not if you are only switching isp. I too am planning to switch from Distributel

Just to clarify:

1) the $49 Technicolor modem for FTTN is a wireless Technicolor modem?
2) the $99 Technicolor modem for cable is a wired modem?
3) the $129 Hiltron modem for cable is also another wired modem? How does Hiltron compare to the Technicolor?

Are there any plus sides to getting a wired modem + router, over a wireless modem?

With the former, you are paying for 24h electricity for two devices so I am hoping there would be some benefit at least...

Imo it's always better for a dedicated router and modem...the all in ones don't have as good of range and very basic settings . The router part of the 2in1 are at very best a mediocre router
