[IRCA] Cable Routers OT

[Tim Kridel <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Apple makes only routers, so you'll still need a separate modem. If
Charter is like a lot of other cable companies, you can buy your own modem
as long as it's a model that Charter can support.

Does Charter charge you a monthly fee for the Arris box? If so, it's
probably cheaper in the long run to buy your own modem or modem/router
combo. For example, when my cable op started charging $5/month for a
modem, I returned it and bought my own. It cost ~$70, so it paid for
itself after 14 months.

Since my original post below, I switched to an AirPort Extreme to get
better coverage throughout my house. As with the Time Capsule, I haven't
noticed any QRM on any band.
